Hallo!

Hi everybody! Just joined up and am looking forward to discussing Brandon's books.

 

At the moment I am pursuing a doctorate in modern history. I am heavily into fantasy and sci-fi. I also love rock and metal music.

 

I first came across Brandon when I was reading Wheel of Time. I was quite impressed with the way he finished the series. Thats also when I decided I wanted a lot more of Brandon.

 

So far I have read Elantris, and Emperors Soul. Then I moved on to Mistborn and finished with Alloy of Law. After that I read Warbreaker.

 

I think Elantris is one of the best standalone fantasy books I have read. I absolutely love the magic system in Mistborn. Allomancy is so original! I so badly want to know if there will be a sequel to Warbreaker. I really hope that one day Brandon gives the main character in Emperors Soul a full length book to herself.

 

At present I am on the verge of starting Stormlight Archive. I really look forward to asking some unanswered questions from Mistborn and most importantly understanding Cosmere. What exactly is it? I actually have no idea.

Welcome! The Cosmere is the Galaxy (I can't remember exactly what type it is) in which Stormlight, Mistborn, Elantris, and Warbreaker (and any book where you see Hoid in it) take place. If you want more in depth, I suggest reading http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/491-cosmere-101/

Welcome to the 17th Shard!
Brandon has indeed mentioned a sequel to Warbreaker called Nightblood but we have no idea when it will be released unfortunately. I'd definitely recommend reading the Stormlight Archive, if you've finished Warbreaker you might find a few Easter Eggs in there for you ;)
The cosmere is the universe that most of Brandons books take place in, the Ten Shardworlds where most stories happen all exist within a dwarf galaxy there. There's some background cosmology that they share and a few characters who can worldhop from one world to another.
I hope you enjoy all that the forums have to offer and all of Brandons books :D
