[IheartKaladin4eva she/her]

I think so too!!!! 

[TheWanderer he/him]

I need to know, what sorcery did they use to convince you? I am trying to get all my friends into the cosmere with mixed success (1 person has gotten through way of kings but has not finished WOD). Quite frustrating as I am trying to get them into it enough so I can talk about it with them, and well...maybe run the mistborn ttrpg.

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

Hello! Great to have you here!

[IheartKaladin4eva she/her]

[S. Stormy she/her]

You kept saying it was boring and you wouldn't read it, then I came to school one Monday, and you were Invested.

Welcome to the Shard!

Beware of spoilers, and please increase the number of books by him you've read. It's worth your time, trust me.

Welcome, friend of S.S.

I am CalanoCorvus.

You would do well to fear me

I'll let the others explain.

Uhh, sir you summoned a sentient stone golem that destroyed your own people. 

[Going_North_cal]

Yes.

This is why you should fear me, 4eva.

[Morningtide she/her]

Welcome to the shard!

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Welcome to the shard! And Corvus's stone monster is actually rather tame compared to what others have done.

[S. Stormy she/her]

I accidentally conquered Serenitas, but then lost both my kingdom and Serenitas. But hey, I got Aladdin on my side, so that's nice!

And I got the technology to create portals to other dimensions, all extracted by torture from a hivemind, of course.

Welcome, and stay away until you've caught up.

Spoilers are thrown around here like, well, I'll just say food is thrown around in a monkey cage.

Hello, replying as a recent convert myself. Start with something a bit less daunting of his than WoK but still substantial like Mistborn so that your friends get a taste of Brandon’s writing, which should get them hooked. Then start talking about WoK, the Stormlight Archive and Brandon’s writing in general and just how great it is, so that they feel like their missing out on something then, present it to them again now that they are enlightened to the amazingness (it’s a real word of I say it is) of the Cosmere! 
 

if this doesn’t work maybe try getting new friends? ( also I have literally only been reading Brandon Sanderson for a month so I am not exactly an expert on matters such as this so perhaps it is not best to take my advice?)

I have tried, I recommended mistborn to two different people, still have got nowhere...
