Just spotted that… god the ‘priceless’ line from Dalinar is still so good. Very good point on the interconnected aspect. Part of the appeal of reading the other books after all. Based on the comments in that reading order thread it does sound like I’ve started on hard mode, and there were definitely lots of plot points that were hard to grasp or fully comprehend so it’ll be nice to clear things up. Speaking of, I just remembered that I missed out on god knows how many sketchbooks and other illustrations with listening instead of reading… so much to catch up on!

Awesome thanks for all this! I think I’ll give myself some time to process this latest book and then dive in with Mistborn. I feel like I’m missing out… like I’ve only got part of the available puzzle completed for the Cosmere. It’s going to be weird moving on (temporarily) from the world and characters I’ve grown attached to but that’s how these things go ey. Coppermind is a goldmine thanks for the link!

I just finished book 4 of the Stormlight Archives and… wow there’s a lot to unpack! I’ll admit part way through I was finding some of the book to lose me slightly but towards the end it gripped me like a voidbringer. Overall I’ve absolutely loved this series, and it got me back into books in general so thank you to Brandon for that. Having listened to the series via audiobook over the past year or two, I feel like I’ve missed or forgotten a fair bit so I have some questions and am hoping for some direction. I’m scared to Google too much because I know there’s lots out there I’ve not yet read. - I have read no other Cosmere related books outside of the Stormlight Archive and Warbreaker. Where should I go next? (Mistborn?) - What’s the latest information on Stormlight 5? - How much should I know and understand about the shards / gods? I feel like I’ve either missed or lost parts of knowledge. - Is there a good recap anywhere about all of the key events that happened throughout the series? It’d be great to have a refresher. I feel like there were so many questions raised throughout the series that I can’t remember which were answered and which weren’t. - Are there any good podcasts / video essays that break down the series so far that you’d recommend? - How do you all survive knowing you have to wait for the rest?!
