Peet Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hello, I've been lurking on the site since doing the shardhunt, and decided to finally make an introductory post. I was intrigued by "the cosmere" that I became aware of after the shardhunt and have been voraciously devouring anything and everything I can find regarding it. I believe I first became aware of Brandon Sanderson's writing when he was selected to finish the Wheel of Time series. I decided to read the other books he had written at the time. I loved Mistborn, and the other two books in that trilogy after they came out. Elantris and Warbreaker were great as well. The Alcatraz books were a change of pace and quite fun to read. I thought he did well with the last Wheel of Time books (man, what an amazing responsibility to take on). I especially enjoyed The Way of Kings and look forward to Words of Radiance and the rest of the series. I think I've read almost everything he's had published (including Rithmatist, Steelheart, Legion, and other novellas) aside from Infinity Blade. After I got married three years ago, I introduced my wife to his books, and she's loved them as well. Whenever someone asks for suggestions on what to read next, I suggest Mistborn, or anything by Brandon Sanderson. When my first son was about to join us last year, I took Elantris to the hospital, and my mother-in-law ended up reading it and said she really liked it. I've read many of the books my wife has read and enjoyed by other authors, but I haven't found one whose work I enjoy as much as Brandon's. Anyway, I'll probably stick around browsing this site for quite a while, though I may not be one to post very often. -Peet P.S. Should I pick a different user name? It seems like this character could have been a nod to Peter Ahlstrom in the Way of Kings. I chose it because there is a connection to my name and I think I share the attribute of being quietly dependable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
