My question has to do with Warbreaker 2 should you ever choose to write it. Will you be releasing it piece by piece and then in its entirety for free online like you did with WB1?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, I will be.

Wait… what!? We already have Warbreaker 1 to recommend to friends as a free trial of your work.

Not that I’m complaining, but why make W2 free too?

Brandon Sanderson

Because it was a part of the experience of writing the book for me. It is something I’d like to try again. (Releasing the book chapter by chapter as I write it.)

Was the Warbreaker experiment successful? By which I mean, were there more, less, or as many sales as, say, Elantris ?

Brandon Sanderson

More than Elantris or MB1/MB2 initially, not as many as MB3. Now it’s about even with Elantris . (Expected. Mistborn has the series boost, which makes the entire trilogy sell about double what Elantris or Warbreaker do.)
