My good news is that my wife just recently gave birth to our twin sons. They are still in the nursery at the hospital as they are small and need a little help with their temperature regulation and feeding, but they're so beautiful. It won't be long and we'll be reading some Alcatraz together!

For me, definitely The Stormlight Archive. It was the first thing I read from Sanderson. However, now that I have read almost everything, I think my second favourite might be The Reckoners.

It was mentioned in the State of the Sanderson in 2021, sort of. https://www.brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2021/

I've read almost everything (haven't read White Sand) there is to read in the Cosmere, but I am just wondering if this was TwinSoul's first appearance in the Cosmere or if I have missed them in another book or series?

I know this is a niche thing that not everyone will care about, but I was just wondering if Brandon or his team have ever mentioned whether they would offer a faux/vegan leather version of the leatherbound books some time in the future?

Thanks for the quick reply! Well, bummer, I guess we all have to wait and hopefully find out in future Cosmere novels.

I am not sure if I missed this part as I binged the entire book over 2 days, but was it ever explained how the Bands of Mourning were drained?
