The novels of ''The Stormlight Archive'' follow a consistent internal structure. Each is split into five parts, and Brandon plots each novel as if it were an entire trilogy. The names of each part, when put together, form a [[ketek]]. Between each part is a set of interludes, set in different points of view, which show events in other locations on Roshar. Each novel has one character who gets multiple interludes, whose interludes effectively form a novella. The books also feature several pieces of in-world art on the endpages and between some chapters, and epigraphs from in-world documents at the start of each non-flashback chapter.{{wob ref|3718}}{{wob ref|3916}} Each of the first five books begins with a prologue that shows a different character's perspective of the night of the [[assassination of Gavilar]] and ends with an epilogue from [[Hoid]]'s point of view.{{wob ref|13282}}{{wob ref|12260}} Each book also includes an [[Ars Arcanum]].
Each novel will focus on one specific order of the [[Knights Radiant]] and feature flashbacks from a character tied to that order.{{wob ref|1673}}{{wob ref|11374}} Brandon has made clear that a character can have flashback point of views, even if he or she is already dead, so the characters scheduled to have flashbacks in an upcoming book might still die before their book.{{wob ref|3757}} The series will be split into two arcs of five books each, with a time gap of about
Subject to the assumption that characters stay associated with their current order and assigning the [[Order of Dustbringers]] to [[Shalash]]'s book by process of elimination, the following table summarizes these relationships and the order of books:

Brandon has also talked about wanting to go back and do a novella set between ''The Way of Kings'' and ''Words of Radiance''; he initially thought this novella might focus on [[Lopen]],{{wob ref|13632}}{{wob ref|13754}} but, after including Lopen in ''Dawnshard'', said it would likely be someone else, possibly [[Teft]].{{wob ref|14701}}
===Back Cover Text===
{{for|/Back Cover Text|the back cover text of each book}}
Each book has a back cover text that is written in-universe from the perspective of one of the [[Sleepless]].
=== Keteks ===
{{for|/Keteks|the full list of endnote keteks}}
The titles of the five parts of each book form a [[ketek]] which is revealed with context in the endnote of every book. The abbreviations of the first five books also form a palindrome of five parts, being similar in structure to a ketek: (t)WoK - WoR - O - RoW - KoW(t).{{wob ref|13904}}
