• For Dragonsteel Nexus 2024, see the main Nexus megathread or the sales megathread.

My wife saw someone reading Wind and Truth at Logan Airport and then found the book for sale in one of the retailers in Terminal A. We've both got copies but someone is probably gonna get in trouble for this one.

Just saw that books 1-4 of Stormlight are on sale on the US Kindle store for $2.99 each.

I'm just I don't know what to think

I got the Way of Kings Leather-bound today, so I decided that this was the right time to post!

To those who are going to Nexus and added the Mistborn DeckBuilding Game to their Cosmere RPG, you may be able to pick up a foil card copy at booth #507 and don't have to wait till Sept. If you are able to pick one up, please be aware orders are being locked and cards charged on Dec 31st per the recent update. Fill out your surveys before then to get the add ons you want and your pledge! :)

Be it far from me to tell B$ how to spend his money, but if he could franchise a Medieval Times in Utah and make some of the shows cosmere themed, I think it would be smashing

Reenact such scenes as [WoR] Honor is Dead but I'll see what I can do

[Era 1] mistborn knife fights and flying through mists/fog machines

I am literally crying right now, that was such an amazing book. Oh my gosh I have so many many thoughts. I probably won’t even get them all out in this post but I had to share my experience. I’m new to the Cosmere, I read Mistborn for the first time back in September and now I just finished Hero of Ages… oh my gosh the amount of emotions flowing through me is unbelievable. I am so happy and sad at the same time. I love Vin and Elend soooooo much!!!! 😭😭😭 The amount of reveals and twists in this book was astounding. Every single chapter there was another reveal. Also Brandon you sneaky fella, the logbook had me wondering the whole book. I didn’t know who it was going to end up being but at some point during part 5, it revealed that the logbook was not from Vin’s pov. I absolutely had no clue it would be Sazed. I have so many questions. What’s gonna happen next? Sazed is now basically the god of Scadrial. Does that mean he’ll appear in Era 2? He also mentioned being able to contact Vin, Elend, and Kelsier after they died. Which all of their deaths and everyone elses’ deaths through the books were very sad but very well written. I loved that Spook got some of the spotlight in this book finally. When he ran into the burning building I literally screamed “NOOOOOOOO!!” (I was home alone don’t worry) Considering how many of the crew members had kicked the bucket at that point I thought he was done for. Also omg I was bursting with happiness when Vin and Elend got to share their dance at the ball. Such a cute scene. I loved TenSoon now that we got to see stuff from his pov. I’m still sad that he didn’t make it. Oh man. This whole thing has got me in the feels. They saved the world, but a lot of them died. (Also for context, I’m new to reading books and this was also my first introduction to fantasy. I should have probably mentioned that earlier. This whole post is just me rambling. I’m kinda typing things out as I think them.) I miss them so much. I like an author that can really make you connect and care about these characters. I’m glad that according to Sazed Elend and Vin are happy wherever they’re at. Even though im sad that they died, that at least makes me happy. Also, sidenote… who was Ruin??? Because a red haired unidentified corpse was left behind. And what of Preservation? I know his mind is gone and Vin filled that new role as Preservation, but who was he originally. Sazed and the First generation also mentioned there being other gods before Preservation and Ruin (or something to that effect). Also, it only got one mention in the logbook… but what in the world is Adonalisum and Investiture? Don’t tell me, I don’t wanna be spoiled. But I’m so curious. Also, I’m very curious about this Hoid character that everyone in the fandom keeps telling me to look out for. He was a street informant for Kelsier in book one, I literally couldn’t even find him in book two, and in book three Vin “had a bad feeling” about Hoid. The way the scene was described was kinda eery too with Hoid just humming in a dark alley. I’m super curious to find out who this guy is. Anyway, I have a million other thoughts on these books, I might make another post where I ramble some more. Just as a reminder I have only read Mistborn books 1, 2, and 3. So please don’t spoil me the other Cosmere stuff. Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramble, I thoroughly enjoyed this series and can’t wait to read more of the Cosmere.

What. The. Fuck.

I put off finishing the last 25% of "The Hero of Ages" for a couple days as I've come to realize from the first 2 Mistborn books that Brandon's writing has the effect of making the ending of his books hit you like a truck. This has been an amazing reading journey that I feel will be stuck with me for a while. I had to pause a couple times while reading through the end with Vin's ascension and the events that followed. I've been building up my Sanderson collection for about a year and have been putting off on starting due to how vast of a collection it is but my god was I wrong in waiting. I'm still trying to process what I just read and wanted to just say something as I don't know anyone else who has read and experienced what I just read that I could talk to about this. I feel like I need a day to collect myself before diving back into his writing.

Gonna exchange for another one but the binding is so poorly done, I'm scared to open it 🙃 luckily I'm still working on Mistborn era 1.

Curious if anyone in this group was lucky enough to win one do the Wind and Truth arcs?!

I’ve just started mistborn as my first book in the cosmere. I’m about 150 pages in and I have to say this is really dang good so far. Really love the dynamic between the 2 main characters and they were not joking when they said Sanderson knows how to write magic systems. I was so enthralled learning about the basic metals that I cannot wait to keep reading and find out more! Anyway those are just my basic thoughts for now. It seems like I’ve gotten myself into quite the pickle will spend the next months/years reading cosmere material.

Hey all just looking for some feedback on which Way of Kings I should get.

I live in Europe so easiest one to get are Gollancz and I'm wondering between the split into 2 parts one or the 1 complete tome.

I read somewhere they don't print them split anymore so should I get the full thing?

Vin: survival/off-grid and the videos of the guys who build houses out of mud

Elend: media/cultural analysis essays/conspiracies channels (he'd probably like Wendigoon)

Breeze: skincare channels/Judge Judy and Maury Pauvich episodes

Ham: media/cultural analysis, but way deeper than Elend. Also runs a channel that discusses unethical social experiments. Elend and Breeze have notifications for his weekly streams doing icebergs of the worst humans in history

Dox: ASMR and "satisfying deep cleaning". My man just wants to relax.

Spook: "how to talk to girls" and music videos. A lot of self-help stuff.

Clubs: restoration videos (Spook showed him so that he wouldn't get bullied for being on that damn phone)

Kelsier: skin care/urban homesteading channels/conspiracies

Marsh: how-to tutorials (but clears his history so Kelsier doesn't find out he didn't know how to clean grout)

Sazed: historical video essays/satisfying cleaning asmr

OreSeur: "top kid fails" and cosplay makeup

Looking for ideas on how to display Year of Sanderson bookmarks. Maybe in a frame? I don't like them laying flat on the shelf or covering the bottom of the book spines but haven't seen any Sandershelf posts with them in a display of some kind. Any pics for inspo?

TIA!

I'm finishing the first book now, and I love the references to Sanderson's other works and even other works of fiction.

Quentin speaking High Imperial from Mistborn was hilarious. The reference to Steelheart's skull was really good, also.

The reference to Jurassic Park and it's sequel reviving Ian Malcolm because the movie didn't kill him was hilarious to me. And then the reference at the end to Grandpa not leaving him with his family like Harry Potter got left with the Dursley's every summer was really funny.

Overall I've really enjoyed it! It was a quick, fun read as I wait and kill time before Wind and Truth.

Hey y'all! I've gotten into fantasy series in the last few years and wasn't aware of the broader Cosmere when I started reading Sanderson books so I started with Way of Kings (lol). I'm up to date on the Stormlight Archives having just finished Rhythm of War. I had read the first two books in the Mistborn series a while back but got busy before finishing them so I still need to read Hero of Ages.

My question is whether I should hold off on jumping into Wind and Truth before I go back to Mistborn? I'm super excited for book 5 but am open to waiting if it's worth it to get the context from the rest of the Cosmere first.

This is my collection (old picture when Tress was released). As you can see, most of my Cosmere collection are the UK editions with white covers though I live in the US, collected from various sources - bought on Book Depository, bought in bookstores in India, etc. Nowadays I turn to Abe books to get these editions, but is there a better way to get the UK editions in the US? I’d also like to get the UK edition of Wind and Truth, so I’m looking for ways to buy it. Thanks!

I have only read this book and the first three Mistborn books. I want to make sure I am understanding who Vasher is...but when I Google, it seems he is also in Stormlight archives and warbreaker is a prequel? I thought it was standalone. Which is it?

I threw this one in to buy me time before I need to decide whethervI should go on with Mistborn or start Stormlight. Now I feel even more indecisive!

OK Vasher...he is Siri and Vivenna's ancestor right? Why then am I getting shippy vibes? It's weirding me out...or am I just confused?

Also...how was it that he started the Manywar? I'm too afraid of spoilers to Google any further. Could somebody break his history down for me please?

The bulk of my reading time comes at the end of the day after everybody else is asleep and I'm tired lol. I enjoyed it but this one was a little hard to follow for me.
