Needless to say, I'm a fan of Sanderson's writing. I've read almost all the books except emperor's soul and a couple of the lesser known ones. I don't expect to post around here too often, but I will check in every now and then. I'm completely new to the Shards, slivers, splinters, etc. When I was reading the books I only noticed the connection that hoid was mentioned in a lot of the books. So I've gleaned over the coppermind.net about how all the books are connected, and I feel like I understand a lot more. However, the more I read about it, the more confused I get. Has someone made a easier way to understand these things through another website (besides coppermind) or like a video? I'd totally love to understand all this cosmere awesomeness.
