Ooooooooo shit!! 👀 well there's a whole shelf of my bookcase reserved
I think I'll step away from Sanderson to fully appreciate the works I just read, but thank you so much for the note about the other series.
Will definitely be back this year for more. Really enjoyed his writing and the metaphysics (once I got my head around book 1 😅)
They're all fantastic, so I'd totally recommend going through the whole Cosmere. If you just want to do Mistborn, that's totally cool, but if you go through the whole Cosmere, I generally recommend publication order because books frequently build off of or highlight how the metaphysics has evolved in the past, so you're learning how things work at the same time he's making use of it.
The only reading order exception I recommend is MAYBE Eltantris. It's the very first Cosmere book published, and while it's still a solid book, it's his first one, so his writing isn't quite as good yet. Still great, just has some fierce competition from the rest of the Cosmere. I generally recommend the Mistborn trilogy first to set the hook, and if you're all in, read Eltantris. If you're still not all about it yet, read Warbreaker first. Warbreaker is a lot of people's favorite, and it's still a really early book that fits around there in the publication order anyway.
Appreciate it, and I've added the entire Cosmere (in order) to my reading list. I'm going to read some more educational works for now, then jump into Eltantris and go from there.
Thanks again for taking the time o write these notes 🤘
Yeah, glad to hear you're interested. I've only had one friend read any of it, and he goes so sloooow, so I'm always excited to introduce it to people. If you have questions as you go, googling can be risky if you don't want spoilers. I can answer questions if you DM me as they come up, or /r/Cosmere on reddit is great at restricting answers to non-spoilers. Might not be enough fans on nostr to get a good answer yet
