Thank you! Ooo, I think for Stormlight specifically, I'd maybe rank them this way:

1. Words of Radiance
2. Oathbringer
3. The Way of Kings
4. Rhythm of War
5. Edgedancer
6. Dawnshard

Favorite character might be Jasnah.

Spoiler

I remember being very distraught about her and my brother managed to convince me she was a throw away side character lmao

Yeah I've been pretty dedicated to it! The last handful of months have been just Stormlight. I love them so much. I actually re-read The FInal Empire back in October and was surprised at how much I like Stormlight more now - I was sure it wouldn't compare to Mistborn. Not that I dislike Mistborn now, but omg Stormlight is so good. And I LOVED Tress, such a great one. I can't wait to finish Sunlit Man and I'll probably start pouring into some theory forum threads.

Sunlit is awesome, probably one of my favorite Brandon books ever, I’m excited to see what you think! I bawled my eyes out over it, but I cry over books a lot.

Welcome to the Shard!! Do you have a favorite kind of bagel?

[Through the Living Questio he/him]

Welcome! If you could bring any 2 Brandon Sanderson characters (excluding WoT) back to life in a room for an hour, who would you bring back?

Of course, I always go for pumpernickel. If there's a spread, I'll go for lox spread.

Ohhhh lord. Only for an hour? Okay I'm assuming this means they need to be dead, so...

Spoiler

I'll go with Wayne and Hoid, even though their not both dead, because I want those two to interract.

I’ve never had pumpernickel, what is it?

Great choice!

Spoiler

I bet Wayne would annoy the heck out of Hoid and Hoid would just start viciously insulting Wayne and it’d be hilarious. Then I figure they’d both want more than just an hour lol.

Hello! Welcome to the Shard!

Congratulations on getting so much of the Cosmere done. What would you say is your favorite standalone?

Thank you thank you! I just finished half of Yumi last night, so I'm aiming to be through very soon.

I think my favorite standalone is Tress of the Emerald Sea, then Warbreaker pretty close behind.
