I'm so excited to be here

[Scadrian Lightweaver he/him]

Hi! I'm kinda new to Sanderson and forums but I'm glad I found this because I needed people to talk to about the Cosmere and all the things it's making me feel. 

I've been reading the basics so far. Started with Elantris, then Mistborn Era 1 and now The Stormlight Archive, currently reading Wind and Truth (no spoilers, please!!!!). My favorite stories so far are: The Final Empire, The Emperor's New Soul and Words of Radiance. And my favorite character(s) so far is (are) Shallan and Veil. 

I really cried with the end of The Hero of Ages and so far with all of Kaladin's Ideals (specially the third. i dunno, but it hit me hard).

Can't wait to keep reading and discovering this amazing universe and its people!

PS: English is not my first language so please excuse any grammatical errors

It's fine, most of us here have english as our first language, and still get things wrong. Constantly. @Hawks.

Anyway, In absence of others asking (and you having read mistborn), Would You Like A Cookie?

@Hawks check out this grammar and spelling

so far I love how Jasnah uses soulcasting as a weapon and I find hemalurgy very interesting as a tactical weapon

ps: I don't read the Cosmere books in English either, so if I use a funny word for a term may be because I'm translating it literally

Thank you! interesting question... and interesting party. Veil and her horneater white for sure, Elend and Adolin because I think they would get along fine (and I kinda have a crush on both of them), Shai because she's so interesting and TenSoon for the laughs. AND the Lopen... I think he really would be the life of the party

Thank you! if I was a Radiant Spren I would be a Cryptic, of course (I love patterns AND lies). And as of regular spren... I think I could be a Flamespren. I feel like I'd like dancing on fire and keeping people warm.

Heads-up, try not to double-post. Sometimes the bot will merge posts, but usually you want to either edit the first post or wait until someone else has posted.

Yep, what Kansas said, but no worries. I'd recommend reading through our Forum Policies and Code of Conduct though, as I'd recommend all new folks to do
