I'm pretty sure I read Arcanum Unbounded after most of the other cosmere books (Era 1-> Elantris -> SA -> Era 2) and read Warbreaker after that. I wasn't able to fully connect all the dots until after I reread all of them though. I remember rereading WoK and reaching the interlude where "Grump" starts talking in Duladen, saying "kayana" and I was just FREAKING out. And I loved reading Mistborn: Secret History because of all the behind-the-scenes action going on! And that quiz is so cool! I got 74% Lightweaver & 71% Willshaper and can't decide which I'd like to be more.

Thank you so much !

One question I have though is about member reputation titles. What are they?

After rereading the first three books in prep for RoW recently I was thinking about connections between Cusicesh and one of the Unmade, googled it and saw a post already about it! I forgot about this until after finishing Dawnshard and I've just been reading theories since joining

Thanks for the tip! And since it's definitely hard to pick just one I'd say Kelsier, Raoden, or Hoid. Mistborn was the first Sanderson book I ever read and Kelsier definitely left a big impression on me. And before I knew about the cosmere Hoid was just popping up in all the books and I kept thinking what?! I love every scene he's in no matter the series.

I'd go for Ingenuity (if it proves to be a Shard) because its definition as "the quality of being clever, original, and inventive" (google) would hopefully act as a loophole to Intent being too binding. As opposed to Preservation and Ruin's inherent characteristics altering their Vessels, I feel like the Shard improving on cleverness or inventiveness would be pretty sweet.

Just finished Dawnshard and can't WAIT to read RoW. I read the Mistborn Trilogy about three years ago and didn't make any cosmere connections until after I rereaded the Stormlight Archives for the third time. Totally blew my mind. I found out about the 17th Shard just recently and can't wait to discuss theories!
