hey everyone!

I've been reading Brandon's stuff for a while, and have probably become too obssessed with the cosmere for my own good XD Can't believe I didn't sign up for this sooner, I'm super excited!

Hi and welcome to the 17th Shard! Which parts of the Cosmere, in terms of books or world building or characters, are your favourites? Hope you enjoy yourself and have a great time here! 

[ash's_eyes she/her]

thanks! i already feel so welcomed, and that makes me more excited for this. stormlight archive is probably my favorite, and i can't choose just one book out of the ones out so far. characters...its really hard to say who my favorite is. i find taravangian very interesting and although he has done some questionable stuff, he is one of my favorites. i also love jasnah.

It's not possible to be "too obsessed with the Cosmere." What kind of investiture usage is your favorite?

Awesome!  also, just a heads up, but you can tag people you want to talk to in a thread using @ and then typing their username, so like this: @ash's_eyes 

It helps to let others know when you're talking to them. You can also use quotes to highlight any parts of what someone has said you want to respond to 

Taravangian is a fascinating character mainly because he makes interesting arguments and has done terrible things with ostensibly noble goals. Jasnah also is a great character

@Ixthos thanks for the tips, super helpful!

@AonDoor haha true. my favorite investiture usage is the metallic arts, specifically feruchemy

Hey, just signed up. Started with White Sand last year. Finished it last month. So, there's that. I'm writing my own fantasy novel too, I joined after I learned about the rest of the Cosmere and have resolved to start it along with the six other major series I am reading in alternating turns. From what I've seen in White Sand, I can't wait to see how this carries over into prose.

Haven't started Stormlight yet. I'm starting Elantris at present.
