Spenzapain Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! I’m excited to join the shard! I’m a fairly new fan but have been absolutely loving every Sanderson book I’ve read. My first question is: Im wondering what Sanderson book I should read next. I’ve read all of mistborn, and it’s sequel series; I’m up to date on Stormlight, I’ve also read certain stories from the Arcanum Unbounded (the ones from series I’ve read), and finally Skyward. What would you guys recommend? My other question: (if there’s a better place to ask this please let me know and I’ll put it there) I want to get the leather bound TWoK, but unfortunately I missed the actual Kickstarter campaign by about 10 days (darn it). I was looking at the TWoK Leatherbound + swag (no poster) and I was wondering what exactly comes in that package. For example, I really want the playing cards and Chicken Scout Merit patch; are those and the other stretch goals items included in that package? Thanks for your help guys! Edit: I’ve also read Elantris Edited August 16, 2020 by Spenzapain Forgot a book 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello and welcome to the shard I would recommend Warbreaker it is connected in some ways to the Stormlight Archive and it's on of my favorite books. For your second question I think it was one set of an order of your choice as well as the other swag and stretch goals but I might be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Shard! Warbreaker will have a character you'll recognize. You're also okay to read The Emperor's Soul from Arcanum Unbounded. That pack should have the cards, the chicken scout things, and the rest of the stretch goals. Ninja'd. Yes, only one order pack.

It seems like Warbreaker will be my next read! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_Fox Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Shard! So glad you are enjoying the books so much. Absolutely loving them is where a lot of stand so you are in good company . I'm going to let other people chime in with more detail for the first question but I'll just leave a quick answer here. For me if you have read all of the Mistborn series and SA and some Arcanum and Skyward I would probably say go with Warbreaker and then Elantris. Popular opinion dictates Warbreaker as being the favorite so probs start there (or be rebellious and don't read either you do you ). If you want non-cosmere I find the Alcatraz series to be absolutely hilarious (although more simple cuz it's more YA targeted) to read and I love them. Reckoners is also a pretty good series too (also YA but good). As far as the second question I am sure someone more qualified can answer but I was under the impression that you can get the book and packaged stuff from his website in the future but I believe that the stretch goals were specific to backing the campaign. I could be totally spouting gibberish here but that is what I had understood it to be. Someone likely has a more definitive answer tho I am sure so I hope there is still a way for you to get it.

Thanks for answering, I forgot to mention that I’ve read Elantris too! I’ll definitely be looking into Warbreaker though. And you might actually be right on the store thing... looking back I might have misinterpreted some of the stuff I read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can join with a late pledge. All the tiers and what they contain is also explained quite well in the link Edit: I think what you are describing fits best with Tier 4 although not sure so definitely take a look. The Leatherbound + Swag add on might be what you were looking for but I don't know if that has any of the stretch goals included. Either way, I'm sure one of the ones on there is what you were thinking of Edited August 17, 2020 by Scout_Fox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorless Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Welcome aboard! I would also suggest reading Warbreaker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Welcome! The "problem" with Warbreaker is that it is a bit more confusing then some other Brandon stuff and because Nightblood is not coming out soon you really have to go through the annotations to figure some stuff out. Also some people dislike early Vivenna chapters. It is a Brandon book and as such definitely worth reading but you do have to keep both of those things in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorkel Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 The link for the pre-order store, for those who missed the kickstarter is https://thewayofkings.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders (For those who DID back the kickstarter - you'll get an email saying when backerkit is ready to link your pledges into the store on the 24th) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanderflaffle Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Welcome! I would also recommend that you read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It starts a little slow, (at least for me), but Brandon did finish writing the series. It's also long, so you won’t have to find anything else to read for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
