Hello, I exist

[Craghack]

Hello everyone

 

I just wanted to say thanks for all the content this community produces. I’ve enjoyed the recent shardcasts - they gave my mind more time to hang out in the cosmere. 
 

Also, without this community I would have had no idea who “Azure” really is. And I would be in the dark about the myriad of other things that add another layer to Sanderson’s books. Thanks!

I’m not sure I have a favourite cosmere book, but my favourite Cosmere moment is when Kaladin says:

Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do.

That is is a great moment, there are so many great moments in these books. Welcome to the Shard! So, have you read all the Cosmere books? 

[Craghack]

I’ve read all the published Cosmere books except the White Sand series and Sixth of the Dusk

Sixth of the Dusk is great, definitely keep an eye out for it. Wait, so you read the Cosmere shorts separately (haha, I did the same thing) The Arcanum Unbounded has all the Cosmere shorts collected (except Dawnshard) plus info on the star systems. You have read all the other shorts? Just to double-check: Emperor's Soul, Hope of Elantris, Mistborn: Secret History, Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Edgedancer, Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell, Sixth of the Dusk.

You can get White Sand by subscribing to Brandon's newsletter! Just go to his site and you'll get an email with the most recent newsletter, it should have a link for you to download White Sand prose!

Yeah, I already had copies of the Emperor’ Soul (which I love) and Secret History when the Arcanum came out. Plus, I was under the impression that, apart from Edgedancer, the others were very, very short. I guess I didn’t feel like it would scratch my itch for epic fantasy.
 

I thought I had caught up with everything but thanks to your comment I know realise I have passed over Allomancer Jak and Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell.

Which means I get to read more Sanderson I guess!  

Thanks!

What was the first book in the Cosmere that you read and do you wish you had started elsewhere? Look forward to seeing you around!

My sister lent me the Mistborn trilogy and I somehow managed to start by reading the second book (The Well of Ascension) first...

So I guess i wish i had started with The Final Empire.

Well... that is definitely a unique way to start!  I think managing to start there just makes you extra skilled in my book  Yes that does sound like a bit smoother of an entry

Oh also a small detail because corrections make you feel SO much more welcomed!  Lols no biggie but mods prefer no doubt posts. You can tap the plus icon next to Quote on multiple peoples posts to quote them all at once in one mega post! Hope you enjoy the Shard!
