I didn't care for the story of Warbreaker that much either but I liked the characters of Vasher, Vienna, and Nightblood. I thought Elantris had a much better story than Warbreaker.

I've read both Tress and Yumi; enjoyed both.

Loved Tress. Thought I would not like Yumi based on the art for some reason but loved it as well. Frugal wizard was not that good honestly, easily his worst book imo.

Tress is great, I loved it.

Haven't read Yumi yet.

Frugal Wizard has some moments but its definitely not great.

I will say this for Sanderson he is amazing at coming up with different magic systems tied to each world. Seems like coming up with those hard systems with well established rules etc would take a lot of effort.

I don’t think I’m that well liked even by my parents and wife .

I’ll sell them and buy Alloy of Law and Mistborn.

Or maybe I will donate the extra copies to this board

Haven’t messed with them but I admire his dedication to signing them. Dude signs for two hours straight every YouTube stream I’ve watched lol. Did he the signed copy of Lost Metal since it was like 5 bucks more.

I bought one as part of the original kickstarter. It's the first physical book I've bought in over 15 years. Next year the WoR leatherbound will come out and I plan to get that one too.

Not sure about the signed ones, they have some randomly though I think.

But the current bundle on his site are not signed.

The current all the leather bound ones are selling for 850, it’s the following books.

Elantris
Warbreaker
Mistborn: The Final Empire
The Well of Ascension
The Hero of Ages
The Alloy of Law
Shadows of Self
The Way of Kings

Edit: man those books are beautiful and would look great within my Mistborn bookends

He doesn't charge extra for them being signed. You can only guarantee getting a signed leatherbound if you back the kickstarter. For the WoK kickstarter, it was $200 because it's two volumes. The other leatherbounds that are one volume are $100.

They'll have signed ones for sale on the Dragonsteel store if they have extra from the kickstarter etc.

Sometimes he'll sign some for the Dragonsteel store if there is time. On one of his recent podcasts, I remember him signing for one of the leatherbound Mistborn books as they had a placed a big order to their printer.

Finally reading The Lost Metal.

Marsh is awesome.

Death is not a religion. It is a fact.

Oh yeah. I've got them all. None of them are signed though. Just bought them from the Dragonsteel website.

Era 2 is very good. I wasn't sure about it going in and book 1 wasn't my favorite, but the next 3 were really good.

Highly recommend the audio book versions of era 2. It really gives the character, Wayne, such depth.
