It's time! The countdown to the release of Wind & Truth, Book 5 of The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, has begun! As he's done in the past, Brandon is releasing preview chapters of the book on a weekly basis leading up to launch, and C.J. from Cosmere Quandaries has come on as a guest to discuss the prologue and Chapters 1-9 with the SICS crew.
