Hello there

[SheriffHeckTate]

Hello there,

Im SheriffHeckTate. I read Way of Kings a couple years back have since gotten all of the Cosmere books available on Audible. I hadnt gotten around to listening to them all, but when I saw Rhythm of War was coming out this fall, I figured this was a good time. I just completed the first Mistborn trilogy (which was great) and just dived into Elantris. I'm definitely not going to make it all the way through the current stuff before Rhythm drops, but thats alright. I'm enjoying the journey.

Borrowed White Sand 1 and 2 from my local library, then learned about the prose edition, which I just snagged, and Aether of Night, which I've requested. 

Should I just read the prose and skip the graphic novels (especially considering I cant get the third one)?

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Welcome to the Shard!  I haven't read the prose, so I can't say anything about that, though.  Glad you're here!

Hi! I've only read the graphic novels but I think they're great. Welcome to the crazy

[Mist she/her]

Welcome! What's your favorite book? I think either way is fine. 

[SheriffHeckTate]

If you mean in general, then To Kill a Mockingbird. Probably.

If you mean Sanderson/Cosmere, then probably Hero of Ages. Final Empire did some worldbuilding and Well of Ascension built on it a bit, but I think Hero of Ages really kicked that and the mythos into high gear. Plus I loved the ending.

Hi! I’m new here too. Also just started Elantris. Are you planning on reading the second era Mistborn books?

[Honorless he/him]

Welcome to the Shard, @SheriffHeckTate! Definitely skip White Sand graphic novels vols 1&2 and read the prose instead. I'd still recommend reading vol 3 though, that one's actually pretty good! Comparably better than its corresponding part in its source material + there are some changes & an extra scene

Definitely. I originally had them near the end of my list for the order I was going to read through but I enjoyed the first trilogy so much I think I'm going to move them up to just after Elantris.

Welcome!

I also liked the graphic novels, it is nice to read comics sometimes!
Need to get a hold of the prose myself...

I really loved Mistborn Era 2, maybe even more than Era 1 to be honest.

Have you taken the Radiant Order quiz yet?

Nope! Where would I find that?

I feel this way too. Era 1 one was so amazing and epic, but Era 2 was/is just a delight. In a completely different way. If I were you, I'd read it real soon!  ...Though it's rough not having that last Era 2 book out yet.

72% Windrunner. I think that fits me pretty well.

It's rough not having the entire Cosmere...
I do envy my future kids, but Brandon might not be done even by then!
