Sadly, not all of us could make it to Brandon Sanderson’s midnight release party for Words of Radiance. Happily, we can now simulate that experience for you using the wonders of YouTube!

Check below the cut to see Brandon’s Q&A, a reading from Words of Radiance, and amateur flautistry. You’ll see him field questions about the next Stormlight Archive book, Mistborn: Birthright (the prequel video game to his hit trilogy), the cure for Worldbuilder’s Disease (it’s like tennis elbow), his process of discovering his own characters, and more.
