I was slacking but finally started mistborn. My first Sanderson book. I’m only about 60 pages in but I’m liking it so far.

Elantris and yumi are the only books left I need to read but I'm kinda burnt out on sanderson books. I'm just waiting on stormlight 5

Mistborn era 3?

I just started Oathbringer and really don’t understand why some fans dislike Shallan. I like her POV chapters a lot because it’s a nice lil break from the intense Kaladin and Dallinar chapters lol. So far I like all the main POV’s

she was just super annoying and whiney for a while

It’s Kaladan’s POV in the final quarter and pretty much all of RoW that is kinda a drag to read but it was very relatable to me tbfh.

Yea I’m halfway thru RoW and some of Kaladin’s chapters don’t have that same feeling. I still like Shallan in this book too

did not love ROW on my first go through

Okay I’m finished Stormlight and Warbreaker. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them, while the third and fourth books were a little slower to me.

My ratings (in order of when I read them):
The Way of Kings 4.5/5
Warbreaker 3/5 (the ending lowered the score for me)
Words of Radiance 5/5
Edgedancer (novella) 3/5
Oathbringer 4.5/5
Dawnshard (novella) 3.5/5
Rhythm of War 4/5

Gonna take a break before I go into Mistborn Era 2

Damn I wish I would’ve found this thread a grip ago

Currently reading Rhythm of War rn. This series is so good.

Finding it hard to finish the last 2 books of Stormlight after starting Malazn tbh.

who now

im intrigued

Is malazan really good? I've heard a lot of ppl mention it

It is but its very dense and disorienting in the beginning. I used a google doc that gave a recap of each chapter and character as i was reading the first 2 books.

That sounds like a commitment. I'll save that for later

Its worth it

I don't doubt it but rn I'm reading the first law series by Joe Abercrombie

Need that doc, I'm about to start

Gimme an hour

The og google doc for the first book is under review by google for some reason. This is a pdf version of it. drive.google.com/file/d/19BQOoO0FcbykHH-YG0PVy4OyomZgTU8e/view

Almost done with The Way of KIngs...started out a little slow but really picks up. It took me a while (month+) to get through the first quarter but I think I might be done with the last 3/4 in like a week or so.

My first book by him.

Starts out with a badass assassination attempt. But I get what you mean

Been wanting to get into Sanderson. Where should I start? Are any of the Novels stand alone that I can pickup without having to read anything else?

Oof the standalone books are Elantris, Warbreaker, tress of the emerald sea, The Sunlit Man, and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.

If you want to dip your toes into sanderson I'd recommend the first mistborn book it's only like 500 pages. I've only read 3/5 of the stand alones. Tress was boring imo. Warbreaker was cool I enjoyed it and sunlit was good there's a lot of action in that one if your into that. It also has a lot cosmere references you prolly won't understand if it's your first book
