All of this is wonderfully helpful; thank you. I'll PM for details on Cosmere Guide. I was already aware of the beautiful Master project. It's fantastic. I suppose what I was wondering about was a variation of the above where hints are given instead of direct connections. In that I want to be able to find the treasure in these books but SA in particular, is so big One small example would be seeing character overlap between WoK I-5 and WoR I-3. I found that on coppermind, which was cool, but I'd liked to have discovered it myself. But that's precisely my issue, I feel I'd need to start keeping through notes on all of the dozens of unusual characters that appear. I'm aware I haven't really asked a question but yeah, that's my current thoughts.

I'm aware there are already a bunch of threads here about reading and re-reading order. However, I think I have something new to ask. (Not that I have any good answers). Given the mammoth size of the Cosmere, I think it's fair to say that your average casual reader could take about two years to read everything published so far. This is only going to increase as the years go by. Of course, people are forgetful, and it's almost impossible to keep track of everything you've seen before (especially without spending time on these forums and Coppermind). Therefore, I suggest some partial re-reading during the initial reading, though ironically, this would mean it would take even longer. This might mean reading shorter and enlightening novellas like The Emporer's Soul twice, or it could even mean reading WarBreaker before Way of Kings and again before Oathbringer to remind yourself of how awakening works. Or, and this is where it gets interesting, which Stromlight Epigraphs or Interludes would be most enlightening at certain stages to help keep people in the loop either for SA itself or even for Mistborn Era2 where connections are helpful too. Mistborn Epigraphs may also be helpful for reminders of how Hemalurgy works and such. For reference, I just finished BoM and I found the Identity and Investiture explanations more confusing than I expected to. Also little things I only discovered online like So, all that being said, my question is this: Does anyone have a suggested reading order that includes selective re-reading of sections of books or even entire books? On a slightly different note, do people have ideas of things they would say to readers? e.g. 'Look out for Hoid/storytellers' to someone reading their first Cosmere Or P.S. I haven't read The Lost Metal, Rthymn of War, The Sunlit Man or Yumi yet, so please avoid spoilers for them. (Only having 4 books left feels so close! I'm nearly caught up for December :D)
