naavep Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 At a certain point in my life, I assumed that I was pretty well done with OBSESSIVELY nerding out over things. Don't get me wrong, I still get really into an excellent movie or TV show...but just not in the same way that I used to, you know? Not in that scouring the internet for tidbits, reading every last drop of an author's work, memorizing names and places kind of way. That's why Brandon Sanderson has been such a blessing for me. His incredible writing and beautiful world building has rekindled a childlike sense of nerdy obsession in me. I had forgotten what I was missing until I cracked open Mistborn, and my headfirst dive into the Cosmere began. I feel like I'll never know everything there is to now, which-based on his prolific output, is a very real possibility! Here's my personal definitive ranking: Stormlight Archive Mistborn: Wax and Wayne Mistborn (Original Trilogy) Emporer's Soul (my favorite short story he's ever done, by a country mile) The Rithmatist Reckoners Trilogy Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians Series Legion/Legion: Skin Deep Warbreaker Elantris 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ he/him Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hey, welcome to the Shard! Have an upovote and a free spiked delicious cookie! Spoiler DISCLAIMER: Side effects include, but are not limited to, hearing voices, gaining supernatural powers, having the sudden urge to kill everyone, and completely losing control over your mind and body. The Dark Alley™ claims no liability for any damage done to/by the eater of this cookie. Also, I agree, I've always been one to obsess over books/movies/TV shows/etc. I do agree that Brandon somehow creates this sense of epicness (that's a word, shhhh) and wonder within his books and worlds that just invites you to obsess over them and become thoroughly invested in them (pun intended lol). Mistborn was my first venture into the Cosmere as well, and I absolutely loved it! I'd gone into it planning on reading the entire Cosmere, but I was definitely hesitant to do so at first. I got over that real quick with the first trilogy. Anyway, welcome to our amazing forum! Have fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
