re: Stormlight Archives - Spoilers and Discussion thread (and other Cosmere spoilers)

Just realized Sanderson's Dragonsteel Con is held in SLC. Only a four hour drive for me. Might see if I can convince the wife to head down there with me. Would love to get my hardcovers signed by him.

Sanderson is doing such a great job with the Cosmere the giant question is does he attempt at some point to stick the landing and end the story or does it just persist until it inevitably falls apart?
He has an ending and I'm pretty sure he said he has a rough, working outline for Stormlight to the end and the final book, Dragonsteel.

Seeing as colors and metals are basically everything in the Cosmere I will be jacked up if Dragonsteel is dragon fired metal and we get a dragon in the Cosmere.
Smaug is still one of my favorite fantasy characters and I still remember reading his chapters in the Hobbit the first time.

Dragons are already in the Cosmere. If you've read the Stormlight books, then you've read letters from one dragon to Hoid (in the epigraphs).

Halfway done with secret project 4, I’m intrigued by the timing of the book and where it falls in the timeline.
Can’t really look it up on the copper-mind or 17th shard yet because I know they contain full spoilers of the book essentially when they get released.

I'm really digging secret project 4 so far. Only about 10 chapters in so far.

There is a dragon in Tres as well

The cool thing about Coppermind; it has the "Time machine" which lets you set the site to a certain point in time.
https://coppermind.net/wiki/Special:TimeMachine
If you click on the link above, you'll see that it defaults to the day before The Sunlit Man was released. So anything added to the site after that date won't appear.
Though it could spoil other books. So this is useful for people who are reading in publication order and haven't caught up yet.

I went through the 3 rfeleasex Skyward books. Despite being a clear YA series, I really enjoyed them. Glad I tried them out
Going to give the Reckoners series chance while I wait for Oct10 so I can get Secret Project #4
As for Cosmere books, how would people rank the novellas and what to read first? I've gone through every novel in past 3 months, figured I might as well knock out the novellas

So you've read RoW but not Mistborn Secret History?
I enjoyed all of the novellas. If you haven't read Secret History, I'd start there. After that I'd recommend The Emperor's Soul.

So in RoW, did you catch the Thaidakar reveal? Like you I hadn't read Secret History before RoW.
I was completely shocked on the Thaidakar reveal. Still remember reading that section because I immediately stopped reading RoW had to find out how that was possible. Figured out I had missed Secret History and read that before finishing RoW.

I started with stormlight archives, so I didn't realize it was someone important

Ah gotcha. Well I would still recommend starting with Secret History for the novellas. They all provide tie ins with the main novels.

Finished The Sunlit Man last night and loved it.
I would recommend reading all of Stormlight Archive, Dawnshard and Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell before reading this.
This book is definitely for those who already have a good understanding of the Cosmere. Gives another glimpse of the future that the Cosmere is heading to.

Finished as well. For secret projects thought Yumi by far was best followed by Tress, then Sunlit and frugal wizard. Sunlit was fine, I expected more once I realized who the main character was.

Mistborn finally came available on my library's audiobook app.
About to finish Warbreaker, really enjoying it.
Finished Elantris a week or so ago and thought it was garbage compared to his other books. Was a real chore to get through.

I generally liked Elantris. Weird
My library audiobooks collection low-key sucks. Especially since I only realized they had one after I got the ones they have on audible

It might have been the graphic audio version that I listened to. It was pretty terrible. It was free, though

Audible had the standard audiobook for free too
