The two Stormlight books together weigh almost 6 pounds and take up 5 inches on a bookshelf. That’s wider than two full collections of Shakespeare and about the same width as The Complete Calvin and Hobbes .

“What I love about the epic fantasy genre is the chance to do something big—lots of characters across a long time,” Sanderson said recently in an interview at Weller Book Works at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City . “The scope you can cover in a book like this, in a series like this, is fun for me to deal with. You can really dig into characters and show them changing over a large period of time.”
