Brandon Sanderson in this order is an awesome ride. Start with either Mistborn: The Final Empire or Way of Kings if you want to read a trilogy and not commit to the entire Cosmere. and then go from there.

The ones in bold are books.



The Final Empire (2006)
The Well of Ascension (2007)
Hero of Ages (2008)
Warbreaker (2009)
Way of Kings (2010)
The Alloy of Law (2011)

The Eleventh Metal – Short Story (2012)
The Emperor’s Soul – Novella (2012)
Words of Radiance (2014)
Six of the Dusk – Novella (2014)
Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell- Novella (2015)
Shadows of Self (2015)
The Bands of Mourning (2016)

Allomancer Jak – Short Story (2016)
White Sand, Volume 1 – Graphic Novel (2016)
Edgedancer – Novella (2016)
Oathbringer (2017)
White Sand, Volume 2 – Graphic Novel (2016)
White Sand, Volume 3 – Graphic Novel (2019)
Dawnshard – Novella (2020)
Rhythm of War (2020)
Mistborn a Secret History – Novella (2016)
The Lost Metal (2022)



Also, Evan Winters:
The Burning series:
The Rage of Dragons (2017)
The Fires of Vengeance (2020)
The Lord of Demons (TBA)\

I havent read The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu (2015) yet but i loved his short stories and its on my list to get to when im done with Sanderson.

Wheel of time is another beloved franchise i havent gotten to yet.

If you want to try out Brandon Sanderson, just try the original Mistborn trilogy, then figure out if you want to get deeper. These were his real breakthrough, I wouldn't start with Elantris which was fine but is a lesser book and completely unnecessary. The relationships between all his books only became an issue much later in his bibliography (which I think was a huge mistake but that's another conversation).

The Final Empire
The Well of Ascension
Hero of Ages
