Favorite Brandon book

[Rune he/him]

So, what’s everyone’s favorite books by Brandon? (Doesn’t have to be Cosmere)

 Mine has to be either the Stormlight Archive (first books of his ever read) or Elantris. Close behind though is Skyward and the Rithmatist.

Mine is probably warbraker because it was my first Sanderson book after I really got into the cosmere lore 

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Mine is currently Rhythm of War, just because so much stuff happens and you learn so much. The trend will probably be that whatever the latest Stormlight book is will also be my favorite.

Before RoW, it was The Final Empire, because it was the first one I read, and it's nostalgic to me. Still definitely one of my favorites.

[Lego Mistborn he/him]

RoW, I love Navani's science stuff so much.

[HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES he/him]

Oathbringer. thaylen field is epic

[Coolmint]

I just started the Rithmatist, and Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians.  I have a thing for Young Adult fiction.

I like Elantris and WOT.

[Szeth's Facepalm]

RITHMATISTS GANG RISE UP!

In cosmere is W&W. If i could choose only one, i'd choose W&W cause it's longer and has more emotional value to me, but Rithmatists is my overall favorite.

[Ati16 he/him]

Oathbringer probably, because all of the epic fight scenes, though all the SA books are epic. After Stormlight would be TFE.

[Monk of Dakhor]

Mine are probably either Elantris or Rithmatist, they are just so good

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

It used to be TFE, because of nostalgic reasons, but now it's probably RoW or TLM because I love Cosmere connections too much. They make me enjoy a book way more than I would normally. So probably RoW right now.

The trend for a while will probably be that my favorite Brandon book is whatever the latest Stormlight novel is at the time.

EDIT: I just realized I had already responded to this thread, and my answer is quite literally the exact same thing...whoops.

I thoroughly love all books MB era 1 and SA, and can't choose a favourite between those. And Emperor's Soul also has a claim on the crown. (Gathering Storm too but does it count here?)

I do really like the rest, it's just... not in my favourites of all time 

(Rest meaning WB, Elantris, MBE2, SfSitFoH, SotD. Can't speak for WS and noncosmere)

I would go with Final Empire. First Sanderson book I ever read, and so much less complicated. I love the later stuff, but there's something just so simple and intriguing with any tropey unknown coming into their powers. So still my favorite.
