Do you read non-cosmere works?

[chongjasmine Ardent]

Do you read non-cosmere works? For me, beside WOT, I tend not to read non-cosmere works by Brandon Sanderson.

What about you?

[Frustration Sliver]

Nope, I have only read a single non-cosmere work from Brandon.

[UnfortunatelyNamed Steel Inquisitor]

Yep. I've read pretty much everything Brandon's put out, besides a few short stories and audiobooks.

Are Cytoverse and the Rithmatist worth it?

[Captain Coffee Ardent]

I read the ones that sound interesting. I love the Cytoverse. The Reckoners series was fine on audiobook in the car, but I won't reread it. His WoT books were good. I want read Alcatraz, but haven't got to it yet.

I read everything Brandon writes, but reread only Cosmere 

[StormingTexan Dawnsinger]

I really liked the Reckoners books except the 3rd. I tried the first two Cytoverse but I just couldn't get in to it. I may finish this at some point. I liked the Legion books too but they are a lot different than his normal stuff. I read the Alcatraz books with my kids they are fun but for sure geared towards younger readers. I have not read Rithmatist  and at this point will probably just wait until when/if the sequel is written. I've pretty much read all the short stories and liked them all especially Perfect State. To me this is where Brandon really shines on his non-Cosmere books the short stories. I would not consider anything I have read that Brandon wrote bad obviously the Cosmere books are just his best work.

Rithmatist is one I can't wait to see a book 2 of.

Then Alcatraz is freaking amazing fun. I was hesitant because it's a kids series. But totally worth it. It was one of my nephew's bedtime readings for a few years. They did the whole series.

[LilyBlossom9876 Bridgeman]

Yes, definitely!

I love the skyward series, the Alcatraz series, and I've read some of his other work...

Although I primarily focus on the Cosmere, I do read and like everything

[Lego Mistborn Silent Gatherer]

I read some of his stuff, but I prioritize Cosmere and only read other stuff if it sounds interesting and not too childish, so no Cytoverse or Alcatraz for me.

Those aren't childish. Well, Alcatraz might be a little bit? The narration is very similar to Hoid's in TotES. But Cytoverse isn't childish really at all. Edit: Wow, that sounded aggressive and assertive. My, my. Apologies.

Rithmatist is definitely worth it. It's an amazing book and is pretty close to the cosmere style (I think it was originally going to be a cosmere novel), but it does have the "book written with a sequel in mind" feel. Cytoverse is also worth reading. It's not much like a cosmere work, but it is an amazing series. I haven't finished Alcatraz, but it's fun. Reckoners is also good but is more YA feeling than the cosmere. Basically, if it's Sanderson, it won't be bad.
