iLewoArtist29 she/her Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I just finished The Way of Kings. Wow. I mean, that was a literal 1007 pages; it was hard, even for me. Took me three days of near constant reading to finish it. So anyway. I'm kinda just here, announcing that, but while I'm here, what was everyone's favorite character? I'm pretty sure I can infer that @Hyper129's favorite character was Wit, but what about you others? I think mine was Syl, but I still don't know what she is.

Quantus he/him Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but from the WoK cast (and that place in their respective arcs, etc) I think my favorites are most of Bridge 4 (especially Rock and Lopen), Syl, and maybe Pattern. Also Wit, but he's a special case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLewoArtist29 she/her Posted July 15 Author Report Share Posted July 15 It was literally just the first book, and a lot of sitting and reading. I'm a fast reader. 9 minutes ago, Quantus said: Also Wit, but he's a special case. Wit... Wit is Wit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from your post in Hyper's Intro post you have read Mistborn (and Skyward/Reckoners, but those are not Cosmere). Is it just the first Mistborn Trilogy? Have you read any of the other Cosmere works? If no, have you considered your plan for other Cosmere works (skipping them, mixing them in between SA novels, etc.). Slight Spoilers (ish): Spoiler SA1 - Way of Kings - References, but not spoilers, for Elantris, White Sand and Mistborn Era 1 SA2 - Words of Radiance - Heavy references for Warbreaker (in addition to the above) SA3 - Oathbringer - References to Alloy of Law, Sixth of the Dusk and Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (in addition to the above) Recommended to Read before Yumi and the Nightmare Painter SA 4 - Rhythm of War - Reference to almost everything Recommended to read before The Lost Metal and The Sunlit Man. Reading Order Thread that also has links to other Reading Order Threads. My personal opinion is there is no one "correct" reading order, but fans should have enough information to make informed decisions based on personal preferences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Tress of the Emerald Sea, and also Mistborn Era Two. What other Cosmere books are thre? I don't really have a plan other than reading every Sanderson book I possibly can I also read Elantris, though that was a long time ago.

If you checked out those reading order threads, they pretty much list everything. You can also check out this Coppermind page. Probably the big one is Warbreaker (recommended before Words of Radiance - but not spoilery so it can come after, you just may miss references in WoR and Oathbringer). It's also free on the website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine was Syl, but I still don't know what she is. Bridge Four! Personally, I have a hard time choosing between Dalinar and Kaladin; Kaladin's a tad more relatable, gets more action, and is just awesome. Dalinar is more mature in and I generally see him as a roll model, and is just awesome. So, a tie between the two, but each for different reasons.

JohnnyKaizen he/him Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 My favorite character changes ever time I read the SA. They change within each book. I find it amazing how much that changes based on how much I've changed since I've last read them. For example, I used to despise Shallan. I couldn't stand her. She would grind my nerves to nothing, every time I read her. But in the last few years, as I've confronted my own insufficiencies with my mental health, and sought treatment and healing, I have come to connect with and adore Shallan in ways that 5 years ago me would be floored. I have too many favorite characters, for a multitude of reasons, and I love it that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLewoArtist29 she/her Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 I love that you've been able to reconcile to Shallan. Originally, I thought she was kinda stuck up as well, but her depth was revealed more later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally, I thought she was kinda stuck up as well, but her depth was revealed more later. We'll see what SA5 brings (no spoilers please, I'm avoiding previews) but, so far, I'm the opposite. Discussed in more detail here - but basically,I liked Shallan in the early books, but really started to dislike her in Oathbringer (to the point where that is my least favorite SA book - pretty much all due to her sections) and RoW didn't improve much for me. It really is hard to choose a favorite character, but I am relaly looking forward to more Renarin in the back-half, because I think he will be my favorite once we get enough backstory and screentime to put context on what we know (which is not much). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I spoil something accidentally? Do you mean Renarin (Adolin's Brother - he is in Way of Kings)? Or were you referenceing a post further up than mine?
