G'day!

[Pagliacci he/him]

I've been reading Sanderson's magnificent Cosmere for about a year now. I've read all of the Mistborn novels except Band of Mourning. I've fallen in love with the Stormlight Archive and really enjoyed Sanderson's standalone works as well.

This place seems like a really positive environment of fellow sanderfans (is that the term?) so I thought I might as well join.

Major Warbreaker spoilers below.

Spoiler

Tangent: Is it just me or does Warbreaker share some elements with Beauty and the Beast? A woman locked in a palace with a 'beast' who is healed by the end. Talking objects and a charming rogue who turns out to be... well, evil. Just some amusing connections I'd thought to point out.

Welcome to the Shard, have an upvote and a cookie. I had never noticed the Beauty and the Beast connection before, but now that you mention it it does seem to be present. If you had to pick a favorite Sanderson book what would it be? 

[Pagliacci he/him]

Tough question... I suppose it would have to be either TWOK or Warbreaker.

That said Mistborn era 1 has the most interesting STORY but I feel it is best to judge tFE,WoA and HoA as one unit rather than individual instalments.

Hello and welcome to the shard!

And which one would be your favourite character?

[Pagliacci he/him]

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Sazed, Szeth, Dalinar and Hrathen are all contenders. Either them or Stick from WoR

I really liked Hrathen. Though for my favourite I usually name Shai from the novel "The Emperor's Soul" (which you should definitly read, if you haven't so far )

[Pagliacci he/him]

I thought Shai was excellent in The Emperor's Soul, which I had read immediately following Oathbringer so it was a real joy getting an even more in-depth look at the interactions between the cognitive and physical realms.

Welcome to Shard! If you could compound one metal, which would you choose?

Probably zinc/zinc. Increased mental speed and rioting emotions. A dangerous combination especially with compounding especially in the modern world. What about yourself?
