Fieri Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Been silently lurking around actually for quite a while now but was always too lazy to sign up lol Anyways, discovered the shard while I was tearing through Words of Radiance at the most frightening speed, and it has brought me both extreme joy (interesting theories! diverse opinions! crazy ships!) ..and extreme pain (turns out I have absolutely no self control and just CANNOT keep myself from reading spoilers. If I prematurely click into spoiler topics for KOWT next year I SWEAR I'm going hit myself with a brick.) As an avid reader of books with a four-digit page count, I love how many of the responses here are really long (in the good way) and well thought out. Currently I've finished SA and am open to other Cosmere recommendations! All right, time to go back to lurking beneath the surface. Hope I'm posting this the right way... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalinar_Kholin Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome to the Shard fellow traveler! I recommend you explore the worlds of Mistborn and Warbreaker. Mistborn is the largest series in the Cosmere, while Warbreaker is a stand-alone novel. The recent secret projects are also excellent stand-alone novels, but they make several references to other worlds in the Cosmere, so I recommend you read those later. Who was your favorite character in the Stormlight Archive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieri Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Sure thx, I'll check them out! I'm a really predictable reader in that by default, I'm more invested in the main character with the most screen time. So...Kaladin, definitely. Jasnah's a rather close second, because I feel I share the most with her character. That being said, I like and like reading about all of the protagonists. Is this weird? Maybe I've read too many hate threads, but I sort of get the vibe that this is weird. Funny thing is that I genuinely enjoy hate threads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glashard Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome! Do you have a favorite time Wit has shown up in SA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieri Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 The girl who stood up, because of the great interactions between Shallan's illusions and Wit's illusions. That one just really clicked for me. Fleet is a close second. However, I'm still waiting for Wit to tell Jasnah a story...that would just be delightful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few novels where I prefer the side characters, but Sanderson has written plenty of other good protagonists. And yeah, hate threads are fun to read through, even if I disagree with them. Forums become dull if everyone has the same opinion on everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
