Wasn't expecting such a zealous response.

Welcome! What's your favorite planet? Would you want to live there? 

Roshar I feel the most invested in; and it has, I feel, the most developed magic system. So definitely my favourite so far! Living there would depend on my status in the world, civilian, definitely not doesn't seem to be best for the working class. However as a radiant ofcourse. Who wouldn't want to?

Hello! We are glad you’re here! Who’s your favorite character so far?

Very hard to not just jump onto Kaladin, I'll think about it as I respond to everyone else! (Note: That I do like the symbiotic connection between spren and their radiants so I would consider Syl and Kaladin as a single entity.)
 

Just from pure interest in the character from a meta perspective I'm excited to spot Wit in the other books. But I think I'll stick with Kaladin for now as a story focus.

Hello and Welcome!

Who's your least favorite Sanderson character?

As with most favourite I think I'll have to sit on that a bit. The fact that no one immediatly comes to mind is a big plus though!
 

Again I've been sitting on this most of the day, along with favourite, and no one really comes to mind. So I don't wan't to pointlessly label someone right now. I'll consider it on rereads

Yay!! Happy to have you jump in and join us!

Dang, if you've made it through SA, Mistborn, and Elantris I think we could say you like it ! Shoutout to that reddit recommendation! Got you introduced to a whole new world (yes... *cue Aladdin soundtrack*)

I would totally agree though, one of the best parts about the books is how interconnected they all are. When it's just a contained package once you're done, you're done. However, similar to big movie franchises like Star Wars and Marvel, when everything's connected you maintain interest because there is always a reason to go back and look for new things or take new material into context.

Hope to see you around!

Thank you, you too!

Welcome to the Shard! Don't forget the Arcanum Unbounded! (It's a collection of Cosmere stories: Edgedancer, Secret History, Emperor's Soul,...) 

Yes! that is next on my list to read, I do however want to reread the stormlight archives before The Rythm of War is released as on my first read through I tend to remain ignorant of the larger plot lines going on due to exploring a new world.
 

Hey,

normally I lurk on forums like these but I thought I'd give this a shot.

I discovered Sanderson whilst trawling through reddit for book recommendations. I was intriguied by the promise of a magic system that spanned different worlds with different rules. And started with stormlight archives, mistborn & Elantris. I'm currently reading through Warbreaker.

I hope to be able to join in the discussions here!
