0 Mist Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 There is not so far, although Dragonsteel, when released, will be that book. Welcome! What's your favorite book? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Darkfinder Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Not at the moment though as Mist states Dragonsteel will explain them. So far there has been mainly hints and some very small mentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bearer of all agonies Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Ok. Thank you! I love the Stormlight trilogy and Way of Kings is probably my favorite of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Darkfinder Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Welcome to the shard. Who is your favourite character. Stormlight is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khriss gives a decent rundown of what the shards are, where they come from and how they work in MB secret history but until Dragonsteal you can't do much but read the coppermind. Welcome to the shard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bearer of all agonies Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Thanks. My favorite character is probably Kaladin. His life is so interesting and he always helps everyone. Edited July 10, 2020 by Bearer of all agonies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gilphon Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Arcanum Unbound is a book that explains a lot of Cosmere stuff. As Karger said, it has a scene where Khriss gives a basic rundown of what went down, and the essays give broad overview of what Shards are on what planets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Honorless Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I'm gonna copy over my response from this topic (https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/90305-is-there-a-brandon-book-that-explains-the-shards/): If you're up to date on all Cosmere books, then go ahead and read up on the Coppermind. The book that is supposed to talk about the Shards, "Dragonsteel" hasn't been released. It's an upcoming project of Brandon's. Among the published books, your best bet would be the aforementioned Arcanum Unbounded: a collection of short stories set across various planets in the Cosmere, they contain short paragraphs explaining the planet's history & magic. There's a short but succinct explanation in Mistborn: Secret History by Khriss, as others have already mentioned, that you can look forward to. There's also The Emperor's Soul, which I cannot recommend enough, it contains a good, simple explanation of the 3 Realms by Shai. Beyond that, there are resources in the forums that you can use, other people have asked for a basic breakdown of the Cosmere before: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/90696-i-just-want-a-simple-yet-in-depth-explanation/ https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/90756-spoiler-free-cosmere-guide/) Plus there's a beginner's guide pinned in the Cosmere discussion forum: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/88225-cosmere-101/ as well as over on the Columns & Features section of News: https://www.17thshard.com/news/features/intro-to-the-cosmere-r570/ But more than anything, if you have any questions or doubts, just ask a question in the Cosmere Q&A forum Edited July 11, 2020 by R J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wandering Investor Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 As others have said, information on shards is kept under lock and key by Brandon for now. That said, I would recommend reading the first Mistborn Trilogy, followed by Secret History and the Arcanum, then Stormlight, then coppermind and wobs. That'll probably give you the best information available on shards, whilst avoiding spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
