artiestroke she/her Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hello! I was introduced to Sandon Branderson's works around November last year, and since then have absolutely torn through almost all the Cosmere stuff I could get my hands on (mostly audiobooks) and the Reckoners series, with only really half of The Way of Kings and the rest of Stormlight left for me to get through. Brandon's works have HUGELY inspired the way I've been looking at my own writing now, and hopefully I can take that energy and actually get something to a first draft for once XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlight is such a huge undertaking that I can only imagine the influence it has had. Have you tried Rithmatist, Legion or Snapshot? You mentioned Reckoners but I feel that these 3 short books are such great stories that they cannot be missed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t yet- I’m hoping to catch up on the rest of Stormlight before tackling other works- but I’ll definitely be checking all of those out eventually! I’m thinking of reading Skyward next, sci-fi pilot stuff is my jam! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequel, Starlight, is due to be released later this year too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those audiobook files are absolutely massive X,D I literally had to take a break at the halfway mark of Way of Kings because it was just so long. Finished up a bunch of the short stories, like Sixth of Dusk and Shadows for Silence, as well as the three Wax and Wayne books before coming back to it. Kaladin has it... particularly rough. And Shallan’s life choices so far leave me in a state of second-hand embarrassment a good chunk of the time. Kinda drains my emotions a little. I really enjoy the Dalinar/Adolin chapters tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
