A place to discuss stories set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere! Non-Cosmere series such as Skyward are also welcome here.

Make sure to tag spoilers. Posts titles should begin with [Book title] to denote what spoilers can be discussed in the thread without tags. i.e [Words of Radiance] or [WoR]

Warning! Spoiler markup currently does not work on the Jerboa or Mlem apps. Spoiler text will be plainly visible when viewing from these apps.

Any comments with spoilers outside the scope of the book mentioned in the title, or books preceding it in a series should be tagged. Lemmy's spoiler formatting for post bodies and comments is:

How did you discover the Cosmere? (lemm.ee)

I have been a lurker of the various Sanderson-themed subreddits. Unfortunately for me and my fellow introverts, there isn't much here to lurk at (yet!). I thought maybe we could get things started by discussing how we all got into the Cosmere. I'll go first!

In November of last year, a friend of mine recommended I read Mistborn. I had just barely started reading again after a long break and was in need of a new series. I was about to go on a long drive, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library so I had something to listen to. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. In the last six months, I have read every single Cosmere book I could get my hands on, and have absolutely loved each one. I finished it all off with Tress last month. My only regret is not getting into this sooner so I could have been a part of the Secret Project Kickstarter.

Here's hoping we can get this community going!

I saw a recommendation in a thread on /r/books over at reddit actually! I started reading around the time of Words of Radiance, and went through things pretty slowly in a relatively unintuitive order:

  • Way of Kings
  • Words of Radiance
  • The Final Empire
  • Warbreaker
  • Oathbringer
  • The rest of Mistborn Era 1
  • Elantris
  • Rhythm of War
  • Mistborn Era 2 (Up to BoM)
  • Arcanum Unbounded
  • The Lost Metal (Went to Dragonsteel 2022 for this!)

Since I've caught up I've gotten probably a half dozen people to start reading, and have been carefully curating their reading order to avoid the nonsense I went through.

Dragonsteel was great! Are you planning to go again this year?
