My first series I read by Brandon, I started with book 2. it was the Alcatraz series. I'm a terrible person.

[Tsidqiyah he/him]

... I may not have broken a chicken... but getting lost is my specialty, though only at dusk and dawn.

Yes, i have read them a few times. I actually have 1-4 from both publishers

not gonna lie I read bastille's letter at the end of book 5 before actually reading the book

I swear I feel like she's a monster from my closet who will spring out one day and put me in a choke hold saying, "You shouldn't have read the letter!"

[Chaos he/him]

My secret: I really hated Sixth of Dusk.

honestly I did too...

[Mestiv he/him]

I think Sixth was weird, but ok.

I had to start Warbreaker 2 times, because I got bored on my first try and just stopped reading.

[Farnsworth]

I forgot Wax’s name when talking to my uncle who is a Sanderfan. I just called MB part 2 “Wayne and... what’s his name? That other guy”

I read it as you forgetting Wayne's name at first and I nearly blew up...and then I read it again. "Ohhhhhhhh. Okay. That's not nearly as bad."

Mistborn SH spoilers:

Spoiler

I spoiled Kelsier's life after death to no less than three people, albeit accidentally.

I also commonly recommend SH be read right after of HoA rather than after BoM.

SH spoilers:

Spoiler

I spoiled Keseir's original death to my brother. Then I corrected myself by saying that I would live until era two so it wasn't spoiled. Then I told him that it was a lie, even though it is actually kind of true. He now thinks that I lied to him, when what he thinks is a lie is the truth and what he thinks is the truth is a lie. I am a really bad sister.

Maybe both of our responses to siblings and friends inquiring about plot elements like that should just be a RAFO and a sly smile.

....I also shamelessly taunt my family with "what if I told you [insert something ridiculous here] happens in Oathbringer" as I usually read the books before them. Or going, "Ohhh MY, I just learned something so COOL about Redacted that you would be interested in *sly smile*"

I hope they don't hate me xD

[MacThorstenson he/him]

@Chaos, did you dislike the character, or the story?

Oddly enough, that's actually one of my favorites.

 

[Nathrangking he/him]

I had to try reading Elantris three times before getting through it. It took forever for the pace to pick up.

[AllomancerSam]

I started Way of Kings no less than three times and just couldn't get into it. Eventually I ran out of other Cosmere books to read and had to pick it back up and actually keep reading past the prelude. It's not that it didn't interest me, I just wasn't ready.

I own not one but two sets of the Reckoners trilogy, and I still haven't read it. I just keep putting it off, probably because once I'm done with those I'll have no more unread Brandon Sanderson books (barring Wheel of Time 12-14 and some non-cosmere short fiction) and idk if I'm ready for that yet.

On more a secret secret note, for a while I thought I would never read Mistborn because the premise didn't really interest me, and my best friend told me that it was too violent for me (she was wrong), so I told her that she could spoil it for me since I wasn't going to read it and she wanted to talk to someone about it. Thankfully she didn't spoil much, just a couple of character deaths, nothing too deeply plot related, but I still regret it.

[MistbornAlpaca he/him]

I, @Master OoklaJack, read the last line of every single book I read!

And I'm not ashamed!  (Although I probably should  but let's be honest, last lines don't usually reveal that much)

[CarolaDavar she/her]

I think Sadeas is an amazing character.

Not an amazing person, but an amazing character

[Wind's Pleasure]

I listened to War Breaker on audible and the narrator was terrible! usually Micheal Kramer read them but not War breaker. He made light song sound like a surfer dude...

It does in OB... 

I used to have a problem with looking in the back... Then Sanderson called me out on it and I haven't done it since then

[Penumbra]

The first time I read Way of Kings, I read the prologue and then just stopped because I got bored. I picked it up again a few months later and had an entirely different experience though.

Now I'm like ??? It's the most action, foreshadowing, cool prologue I've ever read, how did I get bored with it the first time? What was wrong with me???
