Muggins she/her Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi everyone!! I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I want to know which stories from Arcanum Unbounded I should read before Oathbringer. I know Edgedancer is a must, but which others? Basically, I have been doing a reread of the The Stormlight Archive in preparation for Oathbringer. I haven't read Arcanum Unbounded yet (I haven't read Elantris yet and was worried about spoilers). I was planning to read the Cosmere Collection some time over the next month, but found out I am getting an Advanced Reader Copy of Oathbringer later this week. This is fantastic, and I'm super excited, but it has thrown off my reading timeline. I know I'm going to want to start Oathbringer as soon as it arrives, and I'm short on time, so I want to make sure I read the right stories. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRyan he/him Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) You are right that "Edgedancer" is a must read before Oathbringer. Do not skip that. Beyond that, I don't think any of the other stories are must reads. "Mistborn: Secret History" has some interesting tidbits about how Connection works but it is only mildly related to anything we have seen so far in the Stormlight Archive. None of the other novellas have anything even that closely related as far as I can recall. If you have not read "Warbreaker", a stand-alone full sized book, then I do suggest you get to that. It has some very interesting, if, at the moment, minor elements that are part of the Stormlight Archive. Congrats on the ARC! I hope you enjoy your early read! Edit: @Muggins, tagging you in my reply in case you do not have email notifications turned on for the post. Edit 2: Also, welcome to the 17th Shard!

Muggins she/her Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks @CaptainRyan. I did read Warbreaker. I think Elantris is the only adult Sanderson novel I have yet to read. I've read most of his middle grade and YA as well (Steelheart and Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians), and I really enjoyed The Rithmatist; that one is probably my favourite besides The Stormlight Archive, which is probably my most anticipated book of the year by any author. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
