Greetings!

Hello everybody, glad to be here!

A little about myself - I discovered I loved reading fantasy & sci-fi novels when I was around 7 years old and I bought a used copy of Timothy Zhan's Thrawn series. From there, I was hooked. Something about characters who can do so much, yet are also inherently flawed, combined with world-threatening events juat resonated with me.

I first learned who Sanderson was when I began reading the Wheel of Time series several years ago. My info was limited though - I just knew him as the guy who took over when Jordan passed away. After completing that series, I was impressed with BS, but didn't know he had his own series until a friend told me that he was actually a very well renowned author himself.

The first book by Sanderson I read was actually Way of Kings, and I thought it was excellent. My life at that time was pretty chaotic though, and so I remained oblivious to the rest of the Cosmere stories. When Words came out I purchaed it as well, and finally saw that Sanderson had written a bunch of other books. Fortunately, I randomly picked the first of the Mistborn series and dove in.

That was around August of last year, and since then I've managed to read every Cosmere story (I think anyway). The more I read the more I was in awe of the sheer scope of the universe BS has created. I'm the type that loves to read a series planned out for the long haul, and so the Cosmere books are right up my alley. 

I've got tons of theories to discuss, and I'm also really looking forward to reading the ones people have already come up with on here!

Thanks again all, look forward to talking with you all some more in the future!
