Arwyl she/her Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, newbie here world hopping from Randland and Westeros. My first Sanderson book was Mistborn. I can't say that I was an instant fan, as it took a while for me to appreciate the world and the magic/technology system. I was willing to give the rest of the series a chance, since, being a WoT fan, I know firsthand you can't judge a series on the 1st book alone While waiting for WoT to progress sometime during the late '90's, I got into A Song of Ice and Fire. It's been my main fandom since, and I use the same username over at Westeros.org (hello there, if any of you are here too!). WoT finally ended and during the waiting game for the next aSoIaF, I finally got into more Sanderson books, specifically, The Way of Kings. Wow. Then I read Words of Radiance, had a couple of hunches and looked them up here. I realized just how vast the Cosmere is. I think I've found my next fandom. I'm really more of a forum reader (see my Westeros post count as proof lol), and I know I have a lot of catching up to do Cosmere-wise, but I hope to be able to contribute to the discussions (the theories!) here. Please forgive some late reactions to well-established theories as I catch up (I promise to use the search function first before creating new threads ). Other authors I like: Rothfuss, Lynch, Abercrombie, Abraham, Hobb. I used to like Bakker, but for some reason, I can't read and re-read him now. Hoidor! Edited June 29, 2014 by Arwyl 3
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Hello! Welcome to 17th Shard! You'll love it here. Have you read Mistborn, Steelheart or Elantris?
Left he/him Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 She says she's read Mistborn, hasn't mentioned the others though. Welcome new person!!! Watch out for the spikes and you'll have a great time here
Delightful Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Hi! Watch out for the spikes! Or don't, whichever way is more fun
Quiver he/him Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I keep meaning to start a westerns account... In the meantime, welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay; the cosmere is significantly more optimistic (and quicker-produced) than Westeros, so...
