I've read the (first) Mistborn trilogy but nothing else. Co-workers were talking about Stormlight the other day and it sounded pretty cool. --- MSI MEG X570 Unify | Ryzen 7 5800X | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 3080 Samsung Odyssey G7 32" - 1440p, 240hz, GSync ... Copied to Clipboard!

Until you get to book 4 it's fine I think. But every one of his worlds is connected and it starts to show. --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not important, but there are neat crossovers and references. I am thinking of Warbreaker, specifically. --- Currently playing: Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) ... Copied to Clipboard!

It isn't terribly important at least through the first three books. Reading Warbreaker isn't a bad idea though. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

I read Sanderson's first novel, Elantris, and thought that it was terrible. They told me that it was not an important novel ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's still got decent world building but it's just not a well-written novel. Thankfully its Cosmere overlap is super minimal. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hmm I guess I'll read Elantris and Warbreaker at least. --- MSI MEG X570 Unify | Ryzen 7 5800X | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 3080 Samsung Odyssey G7 32" - 1440p, 240hz, GSync ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was told to read Mistborn trilogy and Warbreaker and then I read the short story "Edgedancer" before starting the third book of the Stormlight Archive series which I'm on now. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ...

Id read them all in publication order for maximum impact. Sanderson has declared the gloves are off with the Cosmere with the latest Mistborn book. I guess it depends how much you enjoy his books. I like pretty much everything hes put our, including Elantris. --- I am the Cheese! I am the best character on the show! I am better than both the salami and the bologna COMBINED! ...

So I shouldn't be reading the second Mistborn era all in one go I take it. --- MSI MEG X570 Unify | Ryzen 7 5800X | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 3080 Samsung Odyssey G7 32" - 1440p, 240hz, GSync ...

You should definitely read Warbreaker before the 2nd and especially before the 3rd book. Since you've already read Mistborn then you don't really need to read much else. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard!

No one read the Reckoners series? And if so, are those connected to any other series? ... Copied to Clipboard!

bloodyarts posted... No one read the Reckoners series? And if so, are those connected to any other series?I think that's its own thing. Cosmere is just Elantris, Mistborn, Warbreaker, Stormlight and some standalone novels released/releasing this year, I think. And some graphic novel I think? --- MSI MEG X570 Unify | Ryzen 7 5800X | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 3080 Samsung Odyssey G7 32" - 1440p, 240hz, GSync ... Copied to Clipboard!

The optimal order is Elantris White Sand(if you really want to. Its pretty minor so far) Mistborn Era 1 Alloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning Mistborn Secret History Warbreaker Way of Kings Words of Radiance Arcanum Unbounded Oathbringer Rhythm of War Dawnshard the Lost Metal BUT thats a really difficult order and jumps between series. Honestly I would only recommend Warbreaker before starting Stormlight. Then just read whatever you want. The Lost Metal and Rhythm of War are the only two books that start to get really heavy on connections. But not enough that I think it matters. That may not be true for later books though. Hes gotten really positive reception with the connections in the most recent books so itll likely only get worse going forward --- Currently Playing: God of War Ragnarok ... Copied to Clipboard!

Some people like to keep sub series together to help with the narrative flow. Im a publication order always guy. Mistborn era 2 does intertwine with Stormlight Archive. --- I am the Cheese!
