Herald

Thanks for all the feedback. I finished The Emperor's Soul and it was just fantastic!! Now I'm very eager to read Elantris right away

I just know that both are set in the same world, Sel. Can anyone clarify (without spoilers of course) if Emperor's Soul can be read before Elantris? Or if reading Elantris before Emperor's Soul would be much more enjoyable and gives a better experience? (may be due to the world-building or due to any subtle hints, if any?)

According to wiki, a rough chronological ordering of current Cosmere works is: Elantris and The Hope of Elantris The Emperor's Soul Mistborn Era 1 Warbreaker The Stormlight Archive Mistborn Era 2 Sixth of the Dusk, which is in the age of Era 4 Mistborn books, the science fiction trilogy But where does Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell fit in the above list? Is there any WoB regarding this? If not, any theories regarding it's timeline?

Apart from the great ones mentioned here that involved Wit, Lopen and Shallan dialogues, these scenes really cracked me up.

Granted. But you can never keep more than the sphere with you for more than a day, you will loose it. I wish to be able to read and influence the minds of others at will.

When you use "Storms" to swear or "Oh Stormfather!" to exclaim and when you always discuss Stormlight Archive and Cosmere theories with your friend every weekend for few hours.

Hello, 17th Shard! I'm 23 old bibliophile from India. I fell in love with Sanderson the moment I finished The Final Empire on Feb 24 2015. Sanderson rekindled my love for fantasy after I stopped reading this genre after Harry Potter and LOTR. He has an incredible grip on the magic system, the plot and best of all - the worldbuilding. I finished Mistborn series in a month and then jumped directly into his magnum opus, The Stormlight Archive. I read WoK twice before going to WoR. I know I'll re-read both of them again before Oathbringer I did not read the Alloy of Law because I wanted to read it a week before Shadows of Self release. I finished Sixth of the Dusk just yesterday. Books I read till now - Cosmere: Mistborn trilogy, Stormlight Archive, Sixth of the Dusk Non-cosmere: Legion, Legion Skin Deep, Reckoners I have some theories and doubts in Stormlight Archive and so here I am. Looking forward to devouring more Cosmere books and having a great time here

Yeah there is a reference to that, but I'm not sure if it is the Herald. The description fits Ishar but I wonder if we are over-analyzing. A man with a long grey and black beard slumped in the doorway, smiling foolishly—though whether from wine or a weak mind, Szeth could not tell. “Have you seen me?” the man asked with slurred speech.

Possible spoilers for WoR below. Why are the Heralds present during Gavilars assassination? The Heralds I noticed are 1. Nalan the Azish man with the white birthmark on his cheek. Or was it a scar? 2. Another Herald (Kalak/Ishar) talking to Nalan. “I’m worried about Ash.” “You’re worried about everything.” Jasnah hesitated in the hallway. “She’s getting worse,” the voice continued. “We weren’t supposed to get worse. Am I getting worse? I think I feel worse.” “Shut up.” “I don’t like this. What we’ve done was wrong. That creature carries my lord’s own Blade. We shouldn’t have let him keep it. He—” Here I think "Ash" = Shalash, "That creature" = Szeth, "my Lord" = Jezrien, "Blade" = Honor Blade 3. Shalash is/had been present there. She is confirmed to be Baxil's mistress. Szeth notices that Shalash's statue in the palace was conspicuously missing while the other nine heralds were represented. It had been destroyed by her. Szeth brushed by, continuing past a line of statues depicting the Ten Heralds from ancient Vorin theology. Jezerezeh, Ishi, Kelek, Talenelat. He counted off each one, and realized there were only nine here. One was conspicuously missing. Why had Shalash’s statue been removed? What is so interesting in a treaty between Alethi and Parshendi that warrants the attendance of 3 (atleast) Heralds? It seems too much of a coincidence whatever be the significance of the event. Did they attend knowing that the Parshendi were voidbringers and that this event will have some crucial part to play in the Desolation to come?
