Telmond Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 New member here!!! I've been periodically lurking around these forums for a while, but only recently decided to make an account so I can finally contribute. I have the unfortunate displeasure of only having one friend who reads Brandon so Ive been itching to talk to other people about my obsession with the cosmere (or anything Brandon related). I'll be happy to talk to you guys in the comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telmond Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've read stormlight, mistborn, Reckoners, rithmatist, elantris, warbreaker, and most of his short stories such as perfect state and emperors soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkJester Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ah! Nice list! I always forget about Rithmatist for some reason. I don't know why. It was probably my favorite of his short stories... ahh... to be so good and so useless at the same time... story of my life... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rithmatist was really good... when at school I have some very similar problems.... very interesting magic to, makes me sad its non Cosmere... 23 hours ago, Telmond said: Yes for some reason Rithmatist is always forgotten and it's a shame since is my favorite ya series by Brandon (yes more then steelheart) Rithmatist? Forgotten? wow... If you like it, head over to the Rithmatist section in the non-Cosmere forums.... watch out though, hardcore geometry ahead (seriously, I've taken geometry and I have trouble understanding the theories over there... well it has been a while since geometry... Anyways welcome to the 17th Shard, I'm late as usual. My only book recommendations would be for you to read everything of Brandon's that you haven't so far. I think that would amount to Alcatraz (I'll just say this is... interesting...) and all of his short stories. Some of Brandon's short short stories are available on his website, and many that aren't are available in Arcanum Unbounded. And as my usual courtesy, have some complimentary upvotes and cookie! Wow... I though I posted this about 16 hr. earlier, but apparently not. How curious... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK so I've seen the Rithmatist section and what I meant by everyone forgets it is that if you ask someone what books Brandon wrote most people leave Rithmatist till the end (or not at all). As for the short stories I've been looking on Brandon's site almost daily for the past year and a half so Im good there. Thanks for all the support you guys are so nice to new users its almost creepy(does this have to do with the cookies I shouldn't be accepting?)

DarkJester Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I just realized that there's another one that I always forget... Legion... Admittedly, I've only read Skin Deep, but it was really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Budgie Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 There's also White Sand, which is frequently forgotten. Although, that's probably because it seems very hard to get at. There is quite literally not a single copy in any library in my state- and that's Australian states, so it's a lot more area than an American one. And I've never seen any in a bookstore, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
