Vambram Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 The very first time I was aware of Brandon Sanderson and his books was after he was selected by Robert Jordan's wife to finish The Wheel of Time. I picked up Mistborn: The Final Empire and thoroughly enjoyed that book a lot. After I finished the rest of the first Mistborn trilogy, I knew that The Wheel of Time was in good hands. After reading The Gathering Storm, the next fantasy book I read was Elantris. I liked it and thought it was alright. But to me, it just wasn't up to Brandon's standards of excellence I read in the Mistborn trilogy. However, being that Elantris was his first published book, then that means Brandon was getting a lot better with his books after Elantris. I finally got around to buying the first three books of the Stormlight Archive receiving them from Amazon around the middle of January, 2020. I am ranking WoK, WoR, and OB as three of the best new novels I've read in the last five years. When I finished Oathbringer just about a week ago, I was really really wishing that Rhythms of War was only a month away from being published. Instead, I will re-read what I've got now, continue my readings online in the Coppermind, and try to patiently wait like everyone else here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hey, there's also Warbreaker and the short story collection in Arcanum Unbounded! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakenaps Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Welcome! I remember having the same reaction after I read Elantris, which was after I had read Mistborn eras 1 and 2, the Reckoners, The Rithmatist, and Warbreaker. The fact that Sanderson continually works on improving his craft is one of the main reasons he is one of my favorite authors. I strongly admire lifelong learners. I listen to him on Writing Excuses talking about the mistakes he made in his early books and what he has learned, and all I can think is how absolutely incredible his career will continue to be if he never stops improving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambram Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I am going to try to get a copy of Warbreaker as well as Arcanum Unbound. I really want to read Edgedancer because Lift is a great character. My 3 favorite characters in SA are Dolinar, Kaladin, and Jasnah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambram Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Tonight, I went to amazon and bought books 2 and 3 to complete the second trilogy of the Mistborn series. I will dive into those books as soon as they get here to my house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
