I've been sucked in

[detectiveken]

I feel like a newb to this series, despite having now read Warbreaker, all of Stormlight and now just finished Mistborn Era 1 I am officially obsessed. Need to talk about these books, dang it.

Anyway, I'm Ken and Dalinar Kholin is my king, even if he doesn't want to be.

Welcome to the Shard, Ken! What's your favorite of the books you've read? 

[Mage he/him]

Old Dalinar, young Dalinar, or all Dalinars?

Currently Oathbringer, but there's a special place in my heart for Warbreaker, as it was my first.

The jury is out on Way of Kings Prime Dalinar, but the rest are everything.

Welcome to the never-ending pit of the cosmere, Ken!

What cosmere book(s) are you going to read next?

Well I only finished Hero of Ages yesterday, and as much as I should probably take a break, I've already read the first chapter of The Alloy of Law, a sliver of Way of Kings Prime, and some of the Kelsier stories. Helps that Wax and Wayne are short books, but I'll run out before Stormlight 5 at this rate.

Hahaha, that's the best way to do it. Become one of the clamoring masses, scraping and clawing for new cosmere content.

But really this is the best time to start Wax and Wayne, since the final book for them comes out next year, and you've still got Elantris, White Sand, Aether of Night (technically unpublished, but you can only get it here!), and the stories in Arcanum Unbounded to get through! Plus whatever Stormlight novella releases between now and SA 5 (I think it's supposed to be a Rock novella).

I live for that Rock novella. He never reached his full potential in the main series and I was so sad when he got Poochied out of RoW.

We're all living for the Rock novella. Best character. 

[Aeternum]

Welcome to the Shard! Who's your least favorite character?

[detectiveken]

Lift.

She was fine in Oathbringer and RoW, but Edgedancer was a hard read... And I dread the day Brandon does the Lift book.

There’ll be a time jump of 10+ years at least until then, so hopefully she’ll have grown up. But the flashbacks won’t be great.

It is too easy to get addicted to this stuff guys.

Brandon Sanderson makes the best books.
