+ILuvHats Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I think Karger assumed you’ve read some cosmere before Mistborn since you’ve already made over a hundred posts on the forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say, while reading Brandon's adult novels (Mistborn, Elantris, Stormlight, etc.), pay attention to any suspicious similarities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urrutiap Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 The hell you talking about? Dont you know the first Mistborn Trilogy that I was just talking about? Final Empire is the first Mistborn book which I just started reading. Shouldnt YOU, chickenliberty know that by now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoWibble Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Ok, the Cosmere is the universe that Brandon is majorly writing. Mistborn is one of the series in the universe that Brandon calls the cosmere. I agree with the book being amazing! @urrutiap how did you find the 17th Shard?

urrutiap Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Well anywayz i hope the other Mistborn books are worth it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 @Ooklidean Geometry, not Karger, that's @Ookla the Prolific but yeah, that's what I assumed @urrutiap, the Cosmere refers to Brandon Sanderson's main body of work, including the Mistborn series. So this is your first Cosmere book, I started with the Final Empire too , hope you enjoy it. Have you read the Wheel of Time series? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urrutiap Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 so skaa is pretty much an odd fantasy way of saying slaves huh? that the best Sanderson could come up with to start the Mistborn series? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, actually. Skaa is the name of the race - which actually is one. The Skaa were genetically distinct from the Nobility at one point. Interbreeding over the past thousand years has changed that, though I’m sure you can find some pure Nobles or pure Skaa somewhere. I don’t recall if that was ever made clear in the books, or if that was just the annotations. Minor Spoiler: Spoiler The Skaa were created to be smaller, stronger, more fertile and less intelligent. Nobles were created to be taller, smarter and less fertile. They could still interbreed though, since they started out the same before spoilery things happened. There is a LOT going on behind the scenes, and, if you don’t want to be Spoiled, I advice you to stay off the forums until you finish all six published Mistborn books+ Secret History. If you don’t mind being spoiled, stick around! We’re glad to have you. Edited January 3, 2020 by Kingsdaughter613 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. The planet is called scadrial. It is like saying those guys who come from the ground. 4 hours ago, Kingsdaughter613 said: Minor Spoiler: This actually hits at some more major spoilers and should be edited Edited January 3, 2020 by Ookla the Prolific 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real spoiler is: Spoiler That the Skaa and Nobles were created from a prior race. I very carefully did not mention who did the creating or why. Which doesn’t really spoil much in the trilogy, as it isn’t plot relevant at all. It’s backstory stuff, and the books can be enjoyed without it. In fact, I don’t think it’s written in the text; it’s annotations and WOBs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have guessed but... Spoiler Who said anything about the planet changing? I didn’t. I said the two races were created from a single preexisting one; that doesn’t indicate anything about the nature of the world. Besides, Kell mentions that the world changed after TLR took over very early on; it was in the first few chapters and, again, isn’t plot relevant (in this book anyway!) So it isn’t much of a Spoiler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoWibble Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 @urrutiap how did you find the 17th Shard? If you want something less intensive than the cosmere, you could read something like the Reckoners or the Many Lives of Stephen Leads (oh, wait, both of those are Brandon's, aren't they? ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlick Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 @urrutiap think of the cosmere as something like star trek or star wars. You have different people on different planets. The mistborn books take place on scadrial one of many planets in the Cosmere universe. People assumed this wasn't your first Cosmere book, the stormlight archives, elantris, warbreaker, many other books/series are set in the same universe. Right now its just eastereggs to connect the books but towards the end they will start to cross over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 You won’t really need to worry about the cosmere for the most part. In all of the books Brandon has written, the fact that most of them occur in one solar system only really matters in Oathbringer, but even with that one, it is something that’s cool, but not super necessary to enjoy the book. my advice to you is that you should look out for Hoid in any of Brandon’s books that doesn’t involve earth in any way. He’s a cool Easter egg for someone not chest deep in the cosmere. Just look out for him and see what he does to connect to the plot of the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
