harrythethird Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Hello! I'm an avid van of the Cosmere, and I strongly prefer to read them in the intended/published order. The problem I'm running into is that I have a lot more time to listen to audiobooks than I do to read physical books. I'm approximately 30% of the way through reading Dawnshard, and I just finished listening to the Prologue of Rhythm of War. I'm afraid to continue listening to Rhythm of War out of fear that I'm going to accidentally spoil Dawnshard for myself, so I'm seeking some very light contextual spoilers. Can someone tell me in what chapter of Rhythm of War that anything from Dawnshard becomes relevant so that I know how far I can get into listening before I need to have finished reading Dawnshard? Any advice would be sincerely appreciated! No story spoilers please!

Chapter one is safe for sure, two, and four are definitely good, I am almost certain the three is good, but five has spoilers. Again, the spoilers are pretty minor, I read all those chapters before reading Dawnshard, so unless you really care, its not a big deal. 1

Chaos he/him Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I personally wouldn't say Rhythm of War spoils Dawnshard. Brandon designed them not to spoil each other. 2
Aspiring Writer Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 There are details that you can tell is from Dawnshard, but the overall story is still a mystery. It honstesly just makes you want to read the book so you understand the reference like Captain America in the Avengers. Pretty sure i could read Dawnshard and have no idea how it will go. Honestly, if you're familiar at all with how Dawnshard is going to go, the details you see aren't all that 'oh my god!', and more like 'curious'. 1
jamesbondsmith He/him Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 I'm a bit past the end of Part One and there are spoilers in that section, but they're spoilers in the same way as knowing the identity of worldhoppers before reading their introductory book. You're like 'oh, you're in the other thing I'm reading but you're here so I know you don't die in the other thing'.
