Hi there, it's me. I should probably say something already.

I am an aspiring writer (who isn't?) who discovered Brandon Sanderson's work the way many of us did: through reading his completion of WoT and loving it. Yes, even Mat. Maybe especially Mat.

After that, I immediately launched myself headfirst into Mistborn, then Elantris, then every shred of anything Sanderson I could find. I experienced a sweeping revival of my love of fantasy thanks to these books. I barely understood or appreciated worldbuilding before my career as a cosmerenaut, but I haven't looked back since.

Other than that, my claim to fame is that Brandon Sanderson once told me I looked familiar for some reason at a signing for "The Alloy of Law."

Great to see another Sharder! I'm probably not the best one to reply to you, as you can see by my post count.

What's your favorite book by Brandon--All, cosmere-only, or non-cosmere?

Have you read any books that are similar in style to the Cosmere (other than WoT)?

[Rebecca she/her]

Welcome! It's great to have you here. Happy Reading!

@Walin  My favorite is probably still WoK, even though I adored WoR. Maybe it's because Roshar was a brand new Shardworld for my mind to play in, but probably because I really loved the subtext about the responsibilities and facets of leadership.

I usually like cosmere-related stuff over non-cosmere, but The Rithmatist was really, really good.

@Rebecca Thanks! Counting the days until Oathbringer like everyone else!
