Should I read secret projects or Elantris or maybe Wheel of Time idk anymore. Please help There are many Reading order threads you can check out to get a wide variety of opinions, what I would suggest is making an informed decision. Based on the above, it seems you have read: Spoiler Mistborn: The Final Empire The Eleventh Metal Well of Ascension Hero of Ages Alloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning Mistborn: Secret History The Lost Metal (? - Spoilers for Rhythm of War so not sure if you have read this or not) The Way of Kings Words of Radiance Edgedancer Oathbringer Dawnshard Rhythm of War (almost complete) Is that correct? If there are items in that list you have missed, then it might be a chance to fill in those gaps. Warbreaker is the backstory for a number of things you have already seen in Stormlight Archive (and us usually suggested before Way of Kings). It's even available free on the website. Elantris is foundational and also ties to things seen in Oathbringer and Mistborn Secret History, and is also recommended before Tress of the Emerald Sea. The Emperor's Soul is a Novella that also really helps grok the three Realms in a great story that is a quick and easy read (also pertains to a character from The Lost Metal - recommended before TLM). White Sand (in all of the versions) is the backstory for the person who writes the Ars Arcanum for each book (since those are in-world documents) and relates to things seen in both Stormight Archive and Mistborn Era 2 and is also recommneded before Tress of the Emerald Sea. Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell is recommended to read before The Sunlit Man. Sixth of the Dusk is recommended before most Secret Projects, but will be most important before SP5 - and it also relates to things seen in Rhythm of War (Lift Interlude). I guess, out of all o fthat, I would recommend one of the Following: Elantris: Especially if you like more political stories with most action at the climax Warbreaker: Especially if you like a balance of action and intrigue and want more information on certain "people" from Stormlight Archive (see below) Emperor's Soul: Just because it is one of the best Cosmere stories and a great foundation for everything else Continue with those three in whatever order appeals to you. Slight Warbreaker Spoilers Spoiler If you are sure you want to know? Spoiler Zahel, Azure, and Sword-nimi 53 minutes ago, THILL447 said: maybe Wheel of Time Wheel of Time is not Cosmere, and takes a special kind of person to really enjoy, but if that is your thing then feel free to go fo it - just know that it is not related. If you are also considering non-Cosmere stories, then also please consider Sanderson's Rithmatist, Reckoner's Trilogy and Cytoverse. For other non-Sanderson sotries, we also have a Reading Recommendation Thread with summaries and information posted by many Sharders and collected in one place for easy reference. Hope that helps Edited @THILL447 Edited April 23 by Treamayne SPAG/Clarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is what you would like - please note the recommended Novellas and Short Stories that can be important before most Secret Projects: Tress Recommendations: Spoiler Very Important: Elantris Mistborn Secret History References that can be important White Sand Sixth of the Dusk Yumi and the Nightmare Painter Recommendations: Spoiler Very Important: Oathbringer References that can be important Warbreaker The Sunlit Man Recommendations: Spoiler Very Important: Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell Rhythm of War Dawnshard Bands of Mourning References that can be important Elantris / Tress Edited April 23 by Treamayne SPAG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Welcome to the shard @THILL447! I personally just read them in whatever order I can get my hands on ‘em (but still keeping to the dedicated orders of series) My introductory question to you: If you could bring any 2 of Brandon Sanderson’s characters back to life in a room for an hour who would you revive? (Hit the spoiler button to avoid spoilers for people who haven’t read as much [the eye button at the top of the text box]) Also @Treamayne, thank you for the reading order, this will be very useful (it wasn’t intended for me but it very much helps, so thank you! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
