Obsession Becomes indebtment

[Kaladins]

... or something else poetic™. Hey I'm Alex and I have read almost all of Oathbringer, after starting the Way of Kings only a month and a half ago or so. Decided to join the forums as I start to work through more of Branderson's works! How is everybody?

Hey! Welcome to the Shard. I’d recommend that you read the first 3 Mistborn books and/or Warbreaker next. My personal favorite Sanderson work is The Emperor’s Soul, a companion to Elantris, so that would work too. I’d usually recommend that someone reads Warbreaker before Words Of Radiance, but it’s a bit late for that, so there’s no real problems with going in whatever order you feel best about now  

I’d suggest that you keep an eye out for Hoid in the other books as you read them. He’s always fun to find. You might recognize some other similarities, too  

Don’t eat the cookies, they’re spiked

Oh, and I believe Oathbringer is still under spoiler advisory, so don’t talk about OB plot points anywhere except the OB section. Don’t want you to get in trouble  

Hope you have a good time here!

Welcome to the Jacob Marley club, where you forge your own chains of compulsive indebtedness with  every extra tiny revelation of the secret workings of the Cosmere you are able to pick out. Just remember people call obsession Drive or Motivation when it's linked to a goal, at least that's what I tell myself at 4:00 am when I'm checking on threads that I'm interested in. To reword the words of Obi Wan Kenobi when preparing young Luke for the perils of Mos Eisley, "Never will you find a more wondrous hive of genius and and caring humanity" that exists on the 17th shard.

Have an upvote, and welcome!

I already read Warbreaker, as well as Edgedancer and I'm starting the first Mistborn trilogy tomorrow! I know OB is under spoiler warning, and seeing as you could kill your fair share of enemies with it it makes sense. Anyone play DnD?

Oh, ok! Cool. We’ve got a DnD Discord Server here, although I’m not sure if there are any campaigns still accepting new members. You’re welcome to check, though!
