    I finally got a friend to read Mistborn.

    After what feels like years of pestering her to finally get around to some Cosmere, she finally started it. She had read Rithmatist and Alcatraz, and had started Elantris, but hadn't really gotten around to any serious Cosmere reading.

    But yesterday was her birthday, and she got a copy of Mistborn.

    She has already sent me texts containing theories and questions, which I have gleefully RAFO'ed. She also seems to be using me as a place to gather her thoughts, as she sent me a nice summary of Allomancy as she understood it three chapters in.

    I'm so happy right now.

    Don't get me wrong, finding Sanderfans and making friends with them is incredible, and I wouldn't trade my Sanderfan friends that I've made that way for anything.

    But there's really something different about getting one of your closest friends to read these books and getting to watch them experience how incredible they are.

    (.....I may be getting ahead of myself. She's only four chapters in right now.)

      Yay, that's fantastic! I agree, there's nothing like having someone IRL to babble at ^_^

      Congratulations! It is always fun to get someone to read when they have been holding out on reading more. Soon I will have probably gotten both my parents to read mistborn.

      I got my friend to read the entirety of Stormlight and I've spent countless hours explaining the Heralds and so much more.

      After he finished Rhythm Of War, I spent 2 hours on the phone explaining everything I knew about Investiture and Anti-Investiture because RoW is dump of everything!
