Texas Skybreaker Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Hi all, newbie here! I've just finished Oathbreaker and have read no other Cosmere books yet, so my knowledge at present is limited to Roshar and a very basic understanding of the other world in the Cosmere. Got me some questions if you'll indulge my novice-ness. Spoiler Now that we know that the humans ARE the voidbringers, do we know which world they came from? I assume one of the other shardworlds? Also, as I look to expand my Cosmere knowledge, is there a book with which you recommend I start?
Nathrangking he/him Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 They came from ashyn in the roshar system. If you want a stand alone story Warbreaker is a good place to start if you want to jump in deep start with Mistborn.
Calderis he/him Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Warbreaker will introduce you to some.. Familiar faces. Beyond that... Just read everything.
Weltall Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Welcome to the Shard! And yeah, Warbreaker is a good starting point if you want a shorter standalone read, the original Mistborn trilogy if you want to jump right into the deep end. Or if you want a good primer on how the three Realms work and a shorter and more 'personal' story you can also try The Emperor's Soul. 2
Angsos Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Welcome and like all have said, you should start with warbreaker. 3 characters get their start in that book and after that, start with Mistborn Final Empire.
Ripheus23 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Arcanum Unbounded, except skip the Mistborn sections until you read the original trilogy, maybe?
Texas Skybreaker Posted August 9, 2018 Author Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks so much for the warm welcome, everyone! Sounds like the consensus is to start with Warbreaker, so I'll do that before moving into Mistborn. By then I figure I'll have enough background so Arcanum Unbounded doesn't give me spoilers. Muchas gracias! 4
Solant he/him Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 When you say you haven't read any other Cosmere books, does that mean you didn't read the first two Stormlight Archive?
Texas Skybreaker Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) No, sorry, I should have worded that better. I read WoK, WoR and Edgedancer prior to Oathbringer. I should have said I have not read any of the Cosmere books outside of the Stormlight Archive. Edited August 10, 2018 by Texas Skybreaker 2
goody153 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Warbreaker for Stormlight relation and Mistborn just for basics of Cosmere.
