I’ve got “Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians” to read next but I’m not sure if that is a cosmere based novel or not. Either way I’m sure it’ll be good though!
I have indeed, although not the newest book that was released more recently. I want to go back and read everything again but that is quite a time commitment before doing the new book and I’m not ready for that just yet :D
It is very much on par with Mistborn in terms of the story and writing, I just prefer Mistborn that little bit more because I love the concept of the magic system in that but honestly there isn’t a lot in it.
I completed the Wheel of Time last year and liked the Sanderson style of the latter books and am now on book 3 of Stormlight Archive and love it so far. It took me a good half the first book to “get it” or “get into it” rather, but now I see the vision and am enjoying it all. Planning on the other Cosmere series and books after.
Sanderson is definitely one of the better sci-fi/fantasy writers I’ve read.
Wheel of Time is on my to do list, I’ve heard a lot about it both being great and hard to get into to begin with and so I keep putting it off. I will get around to it at some point.
Enjoy your journey into Sanderson, I’m a little jealous I can’t go on those journeys again for the first time!
If it helps, read the first one and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to finish it or the series. It stands alone decently well. I know that’s obvious, but I often don’t do things because I feel like starting something mean I have to finish it. Books, games, movies, etc
Haha I appreciate the advice and I used to be the same feeling I had to finish things I started but as I have got older I do drop games and books etc if I am really not enjoying them and it has made things a lot more enjoyable.
It is more because I am currently into the Deathlands series of books. It is currently 155 books long and I’m at 89, whilst I do have a break from it here and there to listen to other books I don’t want to start another series of books just now :D
I will definitely start Wheel of Time one of these days but yeh, I’m pretty committed to this right now. I will definitely be finishing it too, don’t you worry, even this many books in I’m still loving it and looking forward to each following book :D
If you like fantasy and haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson then do yourself a favour and get on it!
My personally favourites are the Mistborn books but it isn’t exactly an easy choice because literally everything he writes is great in my experience.
I just finished Tress of the Emerald Sea which is a shorter standalone book but still great!
I’m also all in on the Cosmere books, I’m halfway through the Stormlight Archive and it’s amazing!

From what I know, it’s not Cosmere based. It’s also targeted to a younger audience, so the writing might feel different.
Ah thanks for the info. I’ll still give it a try though :)
Almost done stormlight archives. Have you done that? I have the first mistborn book but haven’t started it yet. Looking forward to it though.

89 of 155, holy shit my dude.
Yeah, forget what I said, you are committed now. Sorry, but you gotta finish it. LMAO
