_joe_ Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 I'm a dozen chapters into RoW, and noticed a number of references to things I'm assuming happened in Dawnshard. Should I stop where I am and read Dawnshard first?
Serack he/him Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) My experience was similar in that I read a little over a dozen sample chapters before Dawnshard was available for general consumption, and I bought it and read it before RoW released. Other than the minor references you have already run into, and an interlude that isn't very significant, there is (IMO) only one thing from Dawnshard that helps distinguish the motivations of something that influences RoW from (presumably) offscreen. So if you were to stop and read it, you would get basically the same experience I did, and IMO that would be a little better than reading it afterwards. But I don't think it would be a big deal if you wanted to plow through RoW because you are in the groove and don't want to interrupt it and then read Dawnshard afterwards. Plowing through wasn't an option as a sample chapter reader. Edited December 1, 2020 by Serack 1
Rorzikel Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Read it after, it's not really relevant for RoW in my opinion. It is, however, highly, highly important for the greater cosmere if that's something you're interested in. 1
