Mirdrim Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Hello, fellow Sanderson fanatics! I am Mirdrim, and I enjoy philosophical ramblings, psychology, literature, the occasional videogame, and strength training. I began my addiction to Brandon's work with his completion of Wheel of Time, and was thoroughly impressed with his completion of such a long and detailed series. I began to consume his own work at an alarming rate. First came Elantris, which I loved for it's unique magic system and interesting pseudo-zombie illness. I picked up Mistborn, and, fortunately for me, read it straight through, as the original trilogy was fully released when I started reading it. After finishing Mistborn (which I absolutely loved) I read Warbreaker, which I also loved, then moved on to Emperor's Soul, which was absolutely phenomenal, and probably one of the best shorter novels I have read. I was shocked by how much I loved this story, given the synopsis and seeming "lameness" of the storyline. My favorite series is definitely Stormlight Archive, followed closely by Mistborn. I also really enjoyed the Reckoners series, but I find myself craving more Cosmere content. Aside from Sanderson, I enjoy reading L.E. Modesitt Jr., Patrick Rothfuss, George R.R. Martin, Brent Weeks, and occasionally philosophy. I look forward to discussing Cosmere theories with some bigger dorks than I. Edit: I just finished Arcanum Unbounded, and was a little disappointed that I had read all but two of the stories contained within. However, I was extremely impressed with Edgedancer and Sixth of the Dusk. I really enjoyed Lift's new story, and thought Brandon did an excellent job of bringing a character that seemed silly or frivolous fully into the story. I am interested to see how things play out for her in the future novels. Edited December 6, 2016 by Mirdrim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy he/him Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Hello! Welcome to the forums! Have an upvote Here, you'll find excellent discussion partners for the philosophy, psychology, literature, and video game aspects of your interest. As for strength training, I don't know of anyone here sharing that interest, but I'm sure there's someone. I personally enjoy running, which is sort of similar at least It appears that you've read pretty much the entire Cosmere except white sand, some of the novellas, and (possibly) Era 2 of Mistborn. You should be relatively safe from spoilers, but I'd still recomendar reading the rest asap. I agree in regards to Emperor's Soul; it seems as if the plot was designed to take the backseat to character development, a choice that resulted in an outcome I, personally, loved. Have you read anything by Pierce Brown? He's a phenomenal author I think you'd like, based on your other favorites. Dorks are in no short supply here. I, for one, am proud to count myself among their numbers Don't take any cookies you're offered (they're spiky), and have fun therorizing! Edit: So, it turns out you've read the novellas, as clarified in your edit . If you talk about the plot of the new Lift story, it'd be appreciated if you use spoiler boxes, since it's relatively new. You can do this with [spoiler]Spoilery stuff[/spoiler] Edited December 6, 2016 by Bugsy6912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirdrim Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yeah, I have read just about everything in the Cosmere. I did check out the White Sand excerpt, but I think that's all that's out at the moment, unless you request the novella from Brandon. I checked out the Wax & Wayne series and was very surprised that I liked it as much as the original series. I have never found an author I so uniformly enjoyed as Sanderson. The only work from him that I haven't read is Infinity Blade, Alcatraz & Evil Librarian series, and Firstborn. Thank you for the warm welcome. Fortunately for my soul's health I am on a diet, so no cookies. I wouldn't want to Ruin my fantastic physique.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the White Sand excerpt, I assume you mean the graphic novel? I was rather impressed with that myself. In fact, that's what convinced me to look at the rest of his works, so I'm very glad he did well with them The only Sanderson books I haven't read are IB and Alcatraz, but I can reccomend Firstborn. It was very interesting. No problem, in regards to the welcome. We try to be a nice and wecoming community here, and we're always happy to see new people. Heh. Nice. I think I like you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
