Tor.com has just been informed that, in order to make sure Words of Radiance receives all the care it needs to become the perfect sequel to The Way of Kings that we all want it to be, Brandon Sanderson has requested more time to work on the novel. As such, the release date has been tentatively rescheduled for March 4th. After receiving notes from his editor and his agent, Sanderson is hard at work on the second draft of his fantasy epic. He expects to complete several more drafts before the novel is ready for production, in order to make sure Words of Radiance is up to the high standard set by the first volume in the saga.
