I started with the Stormlight Archive (a big mistake on my part really), and I read all the way up to RoW. But after getting about halfway through, I randomly decided to start Mistborn. I am now almost done with Shadows of Self, and I'm wondering what I should read next.
-First the obvious choice: Bands of mourning, it's the next book in the series.
-But, I could go back and finish RoW first, would this make the later Mistborn era 2 books make more sense? Or can I read them without finishing RoW?
-A similar question: when should I read Mistborn Secret History? probably after I finish all of Mistborn? or before The Lost Metal?
-I'm assuming that I can read the Eleventh Metal because its a prequel to Mistborn era 1, please correct me if that's not true?
-I also know that there's Warbreaker and Elantris (and the short stories that go after elantris), I'll probably just read these after everything else, though I know you're supposed to start with them.
For context, I started the Stormlight Archive before I knew the cosmere was a thing, otherwise, I might have chosen a better starting place. I just found a cool looking fantasy book that was bigger then my head and thought "oh this will be a fun read."
