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.

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]].
