Maybe minor spoilers for the cosmere Hey guys, I've been lurking for years but never really posted much. I'm sorry if this had been answered before but I was curious. I think Hoid has different magic types and can world hop, thus bringing the different magics to different worlds? What I was wondering though is, if let's say, Kaladin could World hop and gain enough breaths and training to become a powerful awakener, and maybe gain some magics from other worlds, could he then take these new powers back and just be that much more powerful than he was before? if this is possible, does this mean everyone in the cosmere has a breath and they just don't know how that magic system works outside of the warbreaker series world? (Sorry can't think of the World name at the moment) kelsier has a breath, kaladin, shallan, etc? I know I just said I thought hoid did that, but I wasn't sure if I was even right, or if he was special. I hope my question makes sense.

fail double post on bad internet on my phone. Sorry

I downloaded book 1 of Malazan. I'm really excited to get started with it tonight. I tried looking up shadows of the apt on audible but no look. It looks like I might have to read that one when I get a chance to sit down with a book. I don't like to have multiple stories going on at the same time so it might be a couple of months before I get to try it out. I read that the co author on Malazan made his own 6 books that are important to the series. Would you guys recommend reading Erikson's books first then move on from there or mix the different series together? I'm not sure of the timeline here. I also have the rift war cycle on my list. Will be checking them out soon as well.

I get what you are saying. I enjoy a lot of books, and series, however, nothing has come close to way of kings or most born. I am only asking for help here because I assume everyone here is a Brandon Sanderson fan. I hoped in putting down specifics it could help give you guys an idea of what I was looking for. My attitude about a book starts off as "it probably won't be as good as way of kings" which is negative, I know, but even something half as good will be fantastic. I am not looking for a clone by any means. I am more than willing to go in to a series open minded, but what I am looking for is something like what Brandon did with most born. You know kelsier or vin will end up fighting the lord ruler, but what happens next is such a twist it left me speechless. I have read countless reviews both good and bad about almost everything I could find. However some of these reviews might have been written by someone who thinks Stephen king is the best author in the world. I came here to try to find like minded people to myself. I appreciate your post and gave you an up vote. My skin is not so thin as to not be able to handle a little criticism. Your assumption about me is correct. I've only been reading fantasy for 15 years or so, and have only read maybe 6 different whole series, and maybe 50 books. I read very slowly and re read and re listen a lot. I have been pleasantly surprised a few times, like when I bought "the shadow of what was lost" by James Islington. I really enjoyed that book. Thank you guys for all the recommendations. I really appreciate it and it gave me a great place to start.

I tried discworld but the first book wasn't on audible. I tried reading a summary of book one then listening to book two and had no luck. I was lost and couldn't focus on what was happening. Would it be worth going back and reading book one then continuing on with the series in audio format from there? I was looking for more of a serious series. This one seemed a little goofy and odd to me. Is my assumption wrong? I'm having a hard time deciding on the ones that were recommended to me

Thank you guys for the recommendations! I'll check them out. Haelbarde, I am so sorry. I fat fingered the like button and accidentally down voted you. I don't see a way to change it, but I will look up some of your other posts and like 2 of them to offset it. I appreciate the help guys.

Wowza, I can't even turn pages that quickly . On topic though, I thought that shard plates only glow when they get cracked? (when normal humans are wearing them anyway) it's been a while though, I'm probably wrong.

Hello everyone, I am having an issue, I have read and reread everything Brandon Sanderson has created multiple times now. -Elantris 2x -Mistborn trilogy 3x -Way of kings 4x -Words of Radiance 2x -Alloy of law 2x -Shadows of self 1x (just finished) -And all of his other works at least 1-2 times each. I actually Just finished "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" which was great as well. I have also read The Wheel of Time series 2x through and The Eye of the World at least 10x. There is something about tEotW that brings comfort to me. I can't say I enjoy the story as much as most of Brandon's works, but I really love being in the world Robert Jordan created. I have a yearly tradition where I will wait until a cold winter night, start a fire,and read the Eye of the World for as long as I can, and try to finish it in one weekend. I have read Terry Goodkind, Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Butcher, Brent Weeks, Tolkien, James Islington, and Scott Lynch. (everything they have written) one time each. I enjoyed all of these but they fall WAY short of Sanderson in every way possible. (imo) I have read some Orson Scott Card (loved Ender's game and Ender's shadow, the rest was meh for me) and I have read George R R Martin which i really did not enjoy. I have read the first 3 books in asoiaf, couldn't get through the rest. I know I know, most people will consider me insane for not LOVING this series. Now that I laid out my history, I beg for help. Is there anything out there in the world of Fantasy or Sci Fi that can be as half as good as Mistborn, or Stormlight Archives? I am specifically looking for a world I can get lost in. A world with interesting characters, and unique magic systems. A world with mysteries, honor, love, betrayal, friendships, and everything else that makes a great fantasy story. A world with a history, and a future? I would love something either insanely long like the Wheel of time Series, or a bunch of different books set in the same universe or something like the Cosmere. I should mention that I am looking for something to download on audible. I work alone and have multiple hours a day to enjoy audio books. As it has been 5-6 years since my last read of Elantris, I was thinking of going back to it again for another read through, but I wanted to see if anyone could recommend anything new to me first? Thanks guys. ps: I know about the search bar, I have tried using it multiple times. I have read the threads about "what are you reading" and about each individual book, but most of these are about a good story, not a world to get thrown into. I have Googled top fantasy books, and tried most everything on the lists. Some authors I can't even get half way through their books, like Roger Zelazny and Lev Grossman, Terry Brooks, and Stephen King. I am not trying to offend anyone, I just can't seem to get in to some stuff, It's probably a fault in my tastes. Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Hello! I've been a Brandon Sanderson fan for about 3 years now, I think. I figured it was time I went online and added one more to the community.
