Been a while since I updated my journey towards finishing the Cosmere:
Finished The Way of Kings, Warbreaker and Words of Radiance! @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren told me I have to read all of Mistborn Era 2 before Rhythm of War? And I've gotten Oathbringer and Alloy of Law to read!
(Ratings for each book I've read - spoilers)
SpoilerOMG. TWoK was amazing, Kaladin's character development was substantial and pretty interesting. Although, I really wanted to read ONLY his parts, and skip Shallan, but after WoR, she's become like the saving grace for EVERY STORMING CHARACTER. Then Warbreaker wasn't that bad (idk y people flame it??) and the storyline is insane. Also, thanks to @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren I know that Zahel is Vasher? Thanks for the spoilers...
Anyway, to WoR. Holy rust. Amazing storyline and character development, although the resolution was boring... Hero of Ages was MUCH better. And the fight between Szeth and Kaladin could've been lengthened... AND SZETH GOT GIVEN NIGHTBLOOD WHAT THE STORMS. And we got some more radiants!!
Overall insane lineup of books so far, and really liking Brandon's writing style.

Update in my journey to finish the Cosmere: Read some short stories in Arcanum Unbounded and getting my hands on the Way of Kings (Part 1 & 2) soon. I've read the Scadrian, Selish and Taldain System Essays, the 11th Metal, the Hope of Elantris and Emperor's Soul.
I loved the new magic system introduced in Emperor's Soul but am a little bit confused on the 11th Metal story:
SpoilerWhy does the 11th Metal have a singular mention of the notes for the 11th Metal? It's more about Kelsier's training and starting to fight Mistborns. I was slightly let down, as I really wanted to find out how Kelsier found out about the 11th Metal and got it (exactly found out, I know it's in the keep's notes but still)

SpoilerYeah, it is pretty funny/weird that The Eleventh Metal doesn't actually have much to do with the metal it's named after.
It was originally written to be included with the Mistborn Adventure Game (aka the original Mistborn RPG by Crafty Games) as a primer on the magic and world for people who weren't familiar with the books. That's why it goes over all that stuff again and has a pretty small scope.

Finished Elantris
Loved the book, can't wait to get Arcanum Unbounded (Can't read Whitesands, I tried tho)

I have just finished the Mistborn trilogy and I now know why people say it's the greatest Sanderlanche ever. What. A. series. Over three books, my interest in reading, fiction and narratives has been restored, along with the faith that people can create amazing series. I'm reading Elantris next, as KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren recommended that book. Can't wait to continue the Cosmere, and I highly recommend this series!
