Question: What got you into reading Brandon Sanderson? When I was a teenager, my parents tried to get me to read Reckoners which didn’t work until on a road trip that was all I had to listen to for like 16 hours. And storms it sent me down a rabbit hole. After I read all of Reckoners, I started Stormlight Archives, and it’s history from there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckoners was one of the series I started with as well; that and Mistborn. Back when evil superheros were a bit more novel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know about the Cosmere till halfway through Mistborn when one of my friends talked about “the Cosmere.” That sent me down a 2 year obsession of reading and re-reading all of Sanderson’s work. I still have yet to read White Sand and some of his shorter works, though. I’m currently re-reading all of Era 1 and 2, so I can read Lost Metal and actually remember what’s going on lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny too - it's been awhile since the last cosmere book, and then next year we get three of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest, in the first book I loved Marasi and didn’t care that much for Steris. Though, at the end of BoM, I preferred Steris over Marasi. It’s been so long since I read them, and it was a gradual change that I can’t remember a particular instance as to what really caused my opinion in to switch entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it really came down to the time we spend with Steris. She's such a fascinating character due to the way she sees the world, and that really gets fleshed out in the later books. As cool a character as Marasi is, I do feel she isn't quite as interesting or unique as Steris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd brought along some books to read since there wasn't any phones or wifi service (we were right out in the bush). I finished my last one with a week and a half to spare, so a friend of mine gave me The Final Empire to read. I devoured that book like few before. Anyway, after we got back I ran to the school library and read through Steelheart, which was the only book of Brando's they had at the time. Followed that with Firefight, then the rest of Mistborn Era 1 and the rest is history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanderson’s character development and world building are beyond almost any other author I’ve read. I actually feel like I’m part of the crew and Bridge Four when I read his books. So many other characters in other books feel so flat - I’m extremely glad I discovered Sanderson when I did those years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of thought that he puts into characters, their outlooks and their beliefs is simply wonderful. It's honestly inspiring and helped me, and I'm sure plenty of others, in their own works. That's not even mentioning the writing courses he's put up on Youtube for free! A top bloke to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hey @Éowyn Storm ! What is the most difficult subject you’ve ever taken? Pineapple on pizza. Opinions? Do you play any instruments? What is the most ridiculous theory you’ve have while reading one of Brandon’s books? How many donuts do you believe you could eat in one sitting? On a scale of 1-16 what is your favourite smell of the rainbow? Are my questions too ridiculous? Who, in your opinion is the most relatable non-protagonist character in the Cosmere? What is your favourite Novella/short story Brandon has written that you have read? What is your favourite book not by Brandon Sanderson? What is your oldest memory? Which era of Mistborn do you prefer? On 18/12/2022 at 8:43 PM, Werewolff Studios said: Same to you! And I'm from Australia; thank you for asking What about yourself? @Telrao There’s more of us!

Which era of Mistborn do you prefer? @Telrao Most difficult subject, probably physics. Pineapple is great by itself, but it does not belong on pizza. I can play 5 instruments, actually. I’ve played the flute for over a decade. Most ridiculous theory was that (RoW spoilers maybe I guess?) Spoiler Taravangian was actually just crazy Are we talking like mini donuts or regular? If the first, I could eat…way too many. The latter, I’d tap out after 3 or 4. 46 is my answer. Always 46. Nope! They’re actually quite fun Eek, non-protagonist…Hmmm. Honestly, I’m struggling with that one. I’ll come back to that one after some thought. I love The Hope of Elantris. Favorite book that isn’t Sanderson is a toss up between The Count of Monte Cristo or Return of the King! I have a very vivid memory from when I was about 4 or 5 year old. My family was staying with some friends while traveling, and they had the sweetest dog that I’ve ever met to this day. What sticks out though is the dog’s name was Fly which I thought was funny as a child. Favorite era of Mistborn… Gonna have to go with the first era. I love Kel’s crew. Their relationships and interactions are just perfection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
