Hey!
I'm from Germany and quite new to Sanderson (and the Shard).
I only finished Mistborn Era 1, now I'm diving into Elantris. (Any recommendations in which order I should read the rest of the Cosmere? Especially the short work?)
I discovered the Final Empire (in German it's called "Kinder des Nebels") a few years ago in a bookstore, thought it might be interesting, but unfortunately didn't end up buying it (too much unread books and all that). When I finally wanted to buy it: out of stock, no reprints. Then, I was quite sad, but now I'm happy about that. With all the publisher changes occuring at the moment, it would look horrible on my shelves. (And if I want a series to look great, it's the Cosmere, even if I only read Era 1) Now I'm reading all the Cosmere in English - With the positive side effect of not having to wait for a translation.
My first Sanderson-reads were Legion and Skin Deep. After that I immediately startet Mistborn. The rest of the Non-Cosmere-works'll have to wait until I caught up with the Cosmere.
Hope to have a great time here.
