Quiver he/him Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're a fan of Frozen. Well, if you Want to Read A Novel after finishing the Mistborn trilogy, I'd suggest Warbreaker. I'll admit that it's a bit of a Fixer Upper and isn't Brandon's best work, but it's still my favourite of the cosmere books. There's also the fact that he decided to Let It Go by offering it for free download on his website, so if you want you can start reading it as soon as you've finished Mistborn. And Koloss are better than People. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Welcome, Elsa You're welcome to build an ice palace and make things look pretty, just make sure your metals don't burn through and melt anything. That could be problematic. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're a fan of Frozen.Well, if you Want to Read A Novel after finishing the Mistborn trilogy, I'd suggest Warbreaker.

Warbreaker, and Mistborn are also an Open Door to the Cosmere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Welcome to 17th Shard! Just saying, if you haven't read about 50% + of Brandon's cosmere books, then get reading quickly. Otherwise, you might not understand most of our topics. Stormlight Archives (an ongoing series) is a good series to pick up after Warbreaker. Here's a few links that will help you with your Cosmere and realmatic Theory. Don't read it until you have finished Mistborn, since it contains spoilers: http://coppermind.net/wiki/Realmatic_Theory http://coppermind.net/wiki/Shard Here is a list of abbreviated book titles you will find useful, listed chronologically: From the Stormlight Archives: WoK = Way of Kings WoR = Words of Radiance From Mistborn: tFE = the Final Empire WoA = Well of Ascension HoA = Hero of Ages AoL = Alloy of Law From Warbreaker: Warbreaker = WbFrom the Books set in Sel: Elantris = Elantris Legion and the Emperor's soul = (not sure, it's also only a short novella) From the Alcatraz series (a series of children books, but still good) There's no abbreviations I've found, sadlyLook out for an awesome character called Hoid or Wit. He appears in nearly every Brandon Sanderson Book, like a cameo, although sometimes not. Best wishes and may the Storm bless you!

Ketek Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello. Would you like to build an Inquisitor today? (See what I did, make a reference to Warbreaker, Words of Radiance, Mistborn and Frozen in two sentences ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello. Would you like to build an Inquisitor today? (See what I did, make a reference to Warbreaker, Words of Radiance, Mistborn and Frozen in two sentences ) I was just thinking about this, and had a sudden mental image of Olaf as an Inquisitor. I mean, he has a carrot stuck through his face AND he's been impaled on ice. So....snowquisitor? He would be terrifying which would be hilarious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketek Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The Way of Kings, followed by The Final Empire. There's a thread for that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardmancer he/him Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I loved the mistborn series so much- The Final Empire being my favorite.. I also throughly enjoyed Warbreaker- very eay and fast read but still with all the Sanderstonian fun! And once your fully devote dive into stormlight archive, white sand, wheel of time (if you have a while).. BUT WELCOME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Have any of you read Elantris? Was it good because I was thinking of reading that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Elantris also good (it is a Brandon Sanderson novel, what do you expect?) though IMHO it is his weakest published work to date. If you're already a fan of Brandon, then go ahead and read it. There are a few references to it in other cosmere books which are cooler if you've read Elantris first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 What the... why the downvote? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I didn't down vote, I upvoted. I don't know why it says I downvoted Thanks for the book advice Edited April 29, 2014 by Elsa Steelheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Lightsworn, I upvoted you. I think that corrects it then? Despite it being his weakest, I've given Elantris to a few people who've loved it, and then been mindblown when I say its his worst published. So yeah, its awesome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks I'm so glad I joined this forum Does Brandon Sanderson ever post anything personal about him on here or is it just about his books? Edited April 29, 2014 by Elsa Steelheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Brandon does not ever come on to say anything. You may have seen his account, but the only time it has been used is for a Q&A. However, Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon's assistant and continuity guy, posts quite often, and his comments are held in pretty much the same regard as Brandon's own. And oh, is Peter a troll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketek Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 However, he is around occasionally on Reddit (every few months or so) and posts under the handle mistborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Where does Peter Ahlstrom post? Here is his member page, you can see his posts there. As Grey Pilgrim says, he frequently trolls and leaves cryptic hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 welcome elsa to the 17th shard. peter posts wherever he feels like posting. he posts mostly on the most popular topics. he's a bit like hoid that way he is just anywhere that he feels like being posting what he feels like posting. he makes fun of people, provides insight on other things and just really posts random stuff. peters a funny guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 He posts pretty much all over the place, mostly to correct something, provide a bit of information we don't have quite yet (this is referred to as a Word of Peter or WoP, held in nearly the same regard as a WoB), or the make a cryptic comment and suck up ridiculous amounts of rep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
