Hello All

[Nerd3.14159265358979 he/him]

Hi all! I'm new to the forums in the sense that I haven't had an account for very long, but I have read a fair amount here for the time that I've been a Cosmere fan. Speaking of that, I've been reading the Cosmere for about 6 months, and I've read everything but Warbreaker, as I've been told it has some sketchy sections that I may want to skip, and I haven't yet had access to a copy with those sections marked. I have, however, read the synopsis in order to gain any Cosmere content I may want (I'm glad I did this, cause Oathbringer). I've also read the Reckoners and the Rithmatist. 

 

Warbreaker is now finished.

Welcome to the Shard have an upvote and a cookie. I'm guessing that you might prefer pie to cookies though...

Thank you! You're right-I'd probably prefer a pie-pies are bigger..

...skip...parts of a Sanderson book?!  HERESY! :-O

Seriously though, I did find Warbreaker to be a bit hard to follow in parts, and I didn't enjoy it as much as other Cosmere books.  But regardless, I can't think of any part that I would recommend skipping entirely, it would get very confusing.  It's not a very long book (well, not compared with many of his other books anyhow ) so I'd recommend just reading it anyway.
 

 

PS, beware the cookies

Alright. Thanks! It hurts me inside to consider skipping too (in any book-especially Sanderson)-which is probably why I haven't sought out a marked version. After your post, I'll probably just read it. Thanks for the cookie warning too-I've heard it has something to do with Hemalurgy?

What would make you think that? Don't ask questions just eat the cookie pie...

Welcome to the Shard! Tis great to have you,

As for Warbreaker: there are some... interesting scenes, but it never gets too bad. I am a fairly sensitive soul, and as soon as I was like "Maybe I should put this down" it didn't get worse, and the scene ended pretty fast. I'd suggest giving it a read, and enjoying it, it is one of my favorite magic systems, has fun characters, and is Sanderson. So read it

Sure, I'll do that-or not.

 

 

 

 

 

I've heard that double posting is annoying, so

Thanks for the analysis! Will do.
