Eftboren Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 After reading some posts on this forum, I guessed it would be time to become a member. I first heard about Sanderson about a year ago thanks to a Spanish youtuber called Alexelcapo. I began to read The Final Empire, but I did not particulary like it. Now I know that it simply was not the right time for me. Just a couple of months ago, however, I decided to "give Sanderson a second chance" and, out of pure boredom, began to read The Stormlight Archive. Saying that this series consumed my life during lockdown would be a gross understatement. I became instantly charmed by Roshar and the amazing characters that populate that incredible world. I also knew that I wanted more, I needed more. That is the reason why, after finishing Oathbringer, I read both Mistborn eras as well as Warbreaker. I plan on reading both Elantris and White Sand in the near future, but for know, I cannot wait for Rhythm of War. Well, about me, I am a 22 year old Spanish man. My pronouns are he/him and my hobbies include poetry, videogames, Dungeons and Dragons (huge Critical Role fan as well haha) and, above everything else, bodybuilding. I have seen incredible things come from online communities, and I cannot wait to become part of this one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debate myself between The Way of Kings or Oathbringer. Overall, I would say that I prefer The Way of Kings, but Oathbringer's Sanderlanche almost killed me hahaha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sanderlanches are definitely a thing. Quite large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Welcome! I’m with you on The Final Empire, Mistborn wasn’t my favorite, but “not favorite” in the books on Sanderson are still amazing. What’s your favorite magic system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think Elantris is my favorite. I won't say why, since Eftboren hasn't read it yet, but I don't get why people say it's not written as well. Also, welcome to the Shard!! I hope you make lots of great friends! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the relative simplicity of the magic system (you get what you give), its creative applications, and, of course, how cool it is (as a person who likes going to the gym, having the ability to dramatically increase your strength and musclemass immediately resonated with me). 2 hours ago, Spren of Kindness said: Welcome to the Shard!

However, I have no doubt that it will still be one hell of a ride haha. 1 hour ago, DramaQueen said: Honestly, I think Elantris is my favorite.

Thanks for keeping me spoiler-free! And thanks for welcoming me, I feel that this would be the best place to breathe Cosmere whenever I would need it. 1 hour ago, Scarletfox said: Hello, friend! Welcome to the Shard! What videogames do you like? Hello pal! Well', it's been a while since I've played some videogames, but I usually like open world actions rpgs. My two favourite videogames sagas are Dark Souls (especially Bloodborne) and Darksiders (I still haven't played Darksiders 3). I also loved The Last of Us, The Witcher 3, Fallout New Vegas and Armored Core 5. Finally, whenever I feel like relaxing, a little bit of Minecraft or some easy platformer does it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
