newbie Hello! Newbie here both in the Shard and the Cosmere. Please be gentle :)

[Lieweaver he/him]

Hello everyone. New to Cosmere here. I don't know how this place works, and I have little knowledge about Cosmere and all the jargons Sanderson fans are spouting. Si, please be kind hehe.

My friend converted me from general fantasy to Sanderson fantasy. Any recommendations? How do I do things properly in my TBR and in this forum? Any help is appreciated. Thank you guys!

Welcome! 

What's TBR?

What's your favorite book? 

Recommendations? This site can be what you make of it. You can post theories, roleplay, discuss anything, or play games on the forum. If there's something you want to make, make it.

I think TBR refers to the "To be read" list. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Right. To be read books for the Cosmere. Does it have a chronological order to it? 

 

I love Emperor's Soul.

Read Mistborn: Secret History after the published Mistborn books. Warbreaker is recommended before Words of Radiance. Those are the main two.

You mean until Era 2 of Mistborn?

Welcome aboard!

Yeah Secret History is best read after era 2. But I'll also recommend not jumping straight to era 2 right after era 1. There's a big disconnect there. Read Warbreaker or Elantris or Brandon's non-Cosmere books in the middle.

And Emperor's Soul is always the right answer.

Yesss. Thank you

Welcome to the Shard! If there's ever a term you're confused about, just ask, we're all happy to dump cosmere words on people

Welcome to the Shard!

In my opinion, while the Cosmere has a relatively loose reading order, I generally find this link to be most helpful for people.  (If I can't convince them to follow my weird and specific reading order )
