I have a D&D group I get together with from time-to-time, and one day one of the members started talking about Sanderson and a book called Mistborn.  I was always an avid fantasy reader, so it piqued my interest.  He then went on to say he was reading another epic fantasy series from the same author called The Stormlight Archive, which seemed even more up my alley, but I was reading ASoIAF at the time and felt this might be too large a commitment.

So I picked up Mistborn, mainly because the books were shorter in length.  I had always been someone who reads multiple books at a time depending on my mood that day - after I started Mistborn: The Final Empire, that all changed.  I got sucked in nearly immediately, and that was the beginning of my journey.

I'm still somewhat new to this, having only finished the Mistborn Era 1 trilogy and now almost finished with Wax and Wayne, but I'm really looking forward to moving onto Elantris, Warbreaker, and then The Stormlight Archive, along with everything else Cosmere related.

@PeterJ13 Welcome to the shard!! Have an upvote!

Around here, we like to say "My life to yours, my breath become yours" as a greeting. You should try, you say it first!

 

Also, what is your favorite thing from the wax/wayne books? (Wayne is my favorite character/Spirit Animal)

Well I'm only halfway through Shadows of Self but I love the dynamic between Wax and Wayne - so different on so many levels yet they understand each other and work nearly perfectly as a duo.  I guess I'll go with that.

That kinda makes me feel dirty...

Oh, and "You didn't promise to kill me.  You promised to have killed me.  That there be the present perfect tense."

Alright ef it, I'm gonna do it against my better judgement and the instruction of those more experienced in the shard than myself!

I'm definitely going to screw up with these cookies 

New member here, relatively new to the Cosmere.  So far I've read the original Mistborn trilogy (which I loved), The Alloy of Law, and I'm currently on Shadows of Self.

My plan from here is to finish Wax and Wayne and then probably move to Elantris, then Warbreaker, and then finally delve into the Stormlight Archive (can't wait for this).

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and really look forward to contributing!
