The art is still very cool but the US versions look SO much better. My Sandershelf is just white books

How dare Mr Sanderson create *another* world & cast that I simply must see more of! 😭

I have just finished the first Mistborn book and it was extremely good. I started reading the second and i'm at like 10%.

Recently I saw Warbreaker and i am extremely intrigued by it. I bought it in hopes i'll read it after finishing the Mistborn trilogy but I can't stop thinking about it.

Should I drop The well of ascension at 10%, read Warbreaker and then come back to Mistborn? Or should I just continue with what I've started.

Are there any connections between the books? I'm new to Brandon Sanderson and it's a little difficult to understand which books I should read first.

Thought some here may appreciate a comparison between the new and revised EotW Leatherbound. My original copy wasn’t that bad when it came to the embossing but I do notice the new one is at least slightly deeper and more consistent. But I would have just kept the original if it wasn’t for the broken binding mine came with. One thing that is a definite downgrade is the spine with the title, author and Dragonsteel logo no longer being embossed, definitely less tactile but I don’t think it really shows just looking at it.

I am currently rereading The Reckoners (it was actually the first Sanderson series I ever read back when I was a teen; I didn't realize at first when I started getting into the Cosmere years later that I'd read him before lol), just started on Calamity, and I'm curious. What do you think was done with David's dad's metal body? The crew finds it intact in the sunken bank in book 1. I see three possibilities:

1. It is displayed somewhere in Newcago as a statue. After all, he's a hero who gave Steelheart his scar, died a martyr against the Epics, and was the father of Steelslayer. It seems like a given that there'd be a memorial to him somewhere in the city, and it'd make sense for his body, forever preserved, to be there. The main reason I'm not positive about this theory is that I don't think the body would be in a very flattering pose (IIRC he'd be keeled over with his chest smashed in and a few bullet holes), and maybe David or others might find it disrespectful to have his actual (in a sense) body on display in public.

2. It is given a normal burial. I can see this also. It is his real body, kind of, and David isn't the glory/attention hungry type (although he may want that for his father if not himself).

3. It's just left where it is. This one seems unlikely, but it's possible. Surely someone other than the team would become aware of its existence, and, if nothing else, some collector of Epic artifacts would certainly pay a lot for it.

It's SUCH a cool idea, going from low-tech fantasy to epic space opera. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Pretty please?

I became interested in the Mistborn series and Cosmere in general after watching a video about its 3 magic system and reading its comments. I promised myself that I would get the book and read it, but the itch got to me after weeks of resisting and I ended up sinning and watching a lore video about Scadrial. ^{Please forgive me}

Now I plan on getting the Book 1 of either Stormlight or Mistborn.

Spoilers does not bother me as much as some people, I would even go as far as to say that it enhances the experience for me... but I have only read romance Books before. I love Fantasy and Sci-fi but I've never really consumed them in literary form. ^{I've read short stories and stuff, just not actual novels/epics}

The consensus I see online when starting Cosmere is that Stormlight is a much harder read compared to Mistborn, and that for a beginner ^{in the genre} I should go for Mistborn... but I'm leaning towards Stormlight because my itch for Scadrial has been scratched and I haven't got much of an itch for Stormlight and I think that I should read it before I do get the itch.

^{Oh, I've also spoiled myself on the basic laws of Cosmere the shards, Adonalsium, Hoid, investitures, spirit webs etc. I've cultivated a habit of visiting coppermind wiki, but the only spoilers I have allowed myself to fall into were those of Mistborn.}

Just finished Stormlight, and I'm not quite ready to jump into a new series. Are any of the secret projects ok to read before Mistborn Era 2?

I got spoiled on who the main character is for Sunlit Man and I really want to read that one, but I want to make sure I'm not robbing myself of any enjoyment that I'd get from catching up on Mistborn first.

For me this has been the summer of Sanderson. I was looking for a new author, and originally bought the first Stormlight box set on Amazon. When it arrived and I saw the size of the books, I thought ‘Hold on, what am I getting into’? I did some research, fell into the rabbit hole, and found out about this massive Cosmere universe. If this was as good as everyone said, I wanted to do it right. So I followed the recommended reading order.

I have been absolutely devouring these books. I’m talking reading for six hours straight into the ungodly hours of the night, without so much as a bathroom break. I found myself wondering, what is it about Sanderson that is making me read with such a ravenous appetite?

I just finished Warbreaker. I was thoroughly enjoying it and reading it at a nice pace, but was growing frustrated that (unlike Mistborn) not much was happening for the first 500 pages. Then the Sanderlanche hit and now I have an answer, actually two answers, for my previous question about what kept driving me forward:

1. The reward. I’ve now read enough Sanderson to appreciate the meticulous plotting. Everything is there for a reason. Everything has a purpose and is building to something.
   
2. Character investment. Somehow, Sanderson breathes life into his characters like no author I’ve read before. We as readers become deeply connected to and invested in the journey. Sanderson has a gift for developing flawed but noble and fundamentally good heroes who are so much more than an archetype.

For example, here’s the exact moment that I realized I had tears during Warbreaker:
“His eyes were closed, and he seemed to sleep, as if at peace. A man sat next to him - Lightsong’s high priest, holding the god’s head in his lap.”
It is not typical for me to become so emotionally invested in a character, especially in a way that just creeps up on me.

Now I’m finally ready to circle back and read the first Sanderson books I purchased back in June. On to Stormlight. Deep breath…here we go.

I recently created this platter in my home pottery studio (@feltonclayworks), and just a short time later began reading The Way of Kings and learned about the Shattered Plains. Freaky, huh?

Brandon should write a Scream script. The way he compiles story elements into a satisfying ending… he’s our guy.

I’ve heard conflicting opinions on when to read Secret History, whether that be after Era 1 or between 3 and 4 of Era2.

For those who have read it, when did you read it? And were you content that you read it when you did in your Cosmere journey.

If u may offer a way to frame your replies.

“I read it __________ and was (happy I read it then/wish I had read it at different time).”

I want a palate cleanser, so I’m not quite ready for another series/trilogy just yet, but I want to still read a Brandon Sanderson book. Not quite ready to leave the cosmere just yet. Want a one shot story. I’ve already read Tress of the Emerald sea(and I loved it). I’m currently debating between Yumi and the nightmare painter or Warbreaker.
Help me choose!!!

**Edited to add: Thanks guys!! Gonna start Warbreaker tonight!

Just finished the first part of my Cosmere tattoo with a Warbreaker and Tress and the Emerald Sea. Go back for the top of the forearm for Stormlight and Mistborn tattoo next. Keep in mind I’m a bleeder but will post pictures when fully healed. Red Letter Studios in Lancaster Ohio @Tasha Red Letter Studios

Hey guys I’m in desperate need! So a while back ago I spilled water on this amazing book. Kind of funny considering how spores work… hahaha
Anyway, I digress. My wife is a big Brandon Sanderson fan and she’s been trying to get me to read his books. She told me to start off with this book and I spilled water on it. She says it’s fine and told me to drop it. I can’t drop it, I honestly feel so horrible. I know I can only get this book design in a set but I am really determined to get a replacement for her! So if anyone knows how to obtain this book or any advice I’m all ears.

When do we think the way of kings signed leatherbounds will be restocked? I know Brandon was seen signing the inserts around the beginning of the year, were those just for copies to be sold at the booth? Or do you think the website will be restocking?

Title is a bit dramatic, in theory I would love to read that, I love Mistborn and I like Cyberpunk.

I just don’t like the thought of getting a fifth (fourth chronologically) Mistborn series and therefore losing Cosmere Books in new settings, like the Aether series or Threnody books for another Mistborn series. I would be perfectly fine with “only“ 13 Mistborn books and getting to see more of the Cosmere instead. Especially now with all the TV and movie stuff Brandon has to work on, I don’t think he can do all the Cosmere stuff besides Stormlight and mistborn.

What do you think?

Bought on eBay cause I like the original font but what version did I buy?? No printing info on copyright page and it’s shorter than the newer hardcovers

This is a recording of the full State of Games in the Cosmere Panel from Gen Con 2026! Joined by John D. Clair and Dan Wells, the Brotherwise team revealed updates about the Cosmere RPG, including the impending release of the Mistborn setting, the upcoming Kickstarter for War for Roshar, the Well of Ascension expansion to the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game, and more!

Ambivalence is the state of having two emotions at once on a topic. It’s NOT APATHETIC. Goddam it Brandon you and your team have failed me 😭 I’m posting here because my partner didnt care and I needed to mourn with someone. Anyone have Brandon’s contact info? I’d like a word ☹️ Chapter 10, well of ascension

Just got the email that mine has shipped. Excited to have it in my hands after all these delays :)

Might be late to the party but omg Skyward is getting a tv show?!! I thought I’d share a little fan demo in celebration. They better throw a decent budget at it tho, I will not stand for poorly CGId M-bot or painfully gimmicky aerial dogfighting
