I first learned about it from my cousin. I think it had been a few months actually since he first told me about it, before I really became interested. We were at a youth summer camp, and he was discussing this book called “The Wave Kings” with our other friend. I didn’t listen in too much, but enough that I was pretty intrigued. So, I asked if I could borrow it, and I got to work! When my cousin first lent it too me, I actually recognized the cover! I very faintly remembered seeing it on one of the bookshelves in our house I don’t know how many years ago. I’m pretty sure I thought it was some medieval story. But anyway, I started, and I loved it! I finished it and the next two, and then my cousin took the liberty of explaining the cosmere to me. At that point it seemed pretty essential that I own and read all of Brandon Sanderson’s books, so that’s what I did!
