Greetings All!


Recommended Posts

Finally finished my long road of reading all of the major Cosmere works, so I decided it was time to make an account here. I can't wait to bug you all with questions and theories (I've got a lot of them)!

Just a little context about me; I picked up Mistborn toward the end of elementary school (like 2010 I think) and really enjoyed the book, but hadn't yet discovered the rest of Sanderson's works. In 2016, I was reintroduced to Sanderson through my brother, who gave me The Way of Kings for Christmas, then ended up reading Words of Radiance and Oathbringer soon after. Starting in August 2020, I began a re-read of Mistborn and worked my way through the series, then followed it up with ElantrisWarbreaker, and a full re-read of the Stormlight Archive. I'm now working my way through the Arcanum Unbounded (though I've already spoiled most of it for myself from trolling around the Coppermind). Now that we'll be waiting a few years for Stormlight 5, I thought this would be the best way to sustain my Cosmere knowledge, and I'm really happy to be here!

 

See you in the threads,

Welcome to the Shard! 
That’s awesome! I didn’t get introduced until last year! 
What is your favorite cosmere book?

Very tough question, but I think I have to go with Words of Radiance. The events of that book have always stuck in my head the most.

Ah. Very good choice. I have to go for WoK, but Words of radiance is up there for me.

What Order did you get?

I'm an Elsecaller! I wasn't sure about it at first b/c their powers don't seem nearly as exciting as some other orders, but after some thought I realized it was pretty spot on. I'm in college right now studying to be a diplomat, and apparently Elsecallers are usually envoys between the humans and the spren. Too on the nose, perhaps?

I've got a couple favorite characters. One is Hrathen, and I don't think I can explain that without getting too spoilery. The other favorite is Szeth; I get completely drawn in during his chapters and can't seem to stop reading. I think these two are kind of unpopular answers to this question though, because there are just so many solid characters in the Cosmere.

That's cool. If you don't mind me asking, are you in a general programme or specializing? Welp, if you don't want to talk about irl stuff, how do feel about Jasnah, the current sole Elsecaller?

I don't mind at all! I'm specializing, technically my major is "international relations," with more acute focuses on Europe-America diplomacy and global economics.

And for your other question, I really like Jasnah! It's nice to have a main Stormlight character with some Cosmere-awareness. She definitely provides a very unique perspective within the series and I think it's important to have as many clearly varying perspectives showing off this universe as possible.
