I‘m still really liking this one. Except… the Dalinar visions are getting old. I could edit those out and be pretty happy still. But I won‘t. I‘m sure they are worth it later. Thankfully I love all the time we spend with bridge four, so it‘s helping me to get through the less interesting parts. #CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Yes I agree- but I know part 2 is just the build up to what is coming. I really liked the Moash storyline!!!! He is working with the enemy! What did he learn? I have so many questions. 3d
Meshell1313 Ooh AND I loved that Lift is making an appearance! 2d
JacqMac @Meshell1313 Me too. Lift is so fun!! 2d
rabbitprincess Eeeee Rock‘s family! I‘m so happy for him that he has more company among the airsick lowlanders ? I also nearly LOL‘d on the bus when Lift appeared in the vision with her friend the emperor and Dalinar was like « wtf? » 1d

I have read a lot of reviews that said this book drags on too much. Maybe it‘s just me, but I can‘t get enough of it. I‘m enjoying every last bit.
#CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Same! I‘m easily becoming Sanderson‘s #1 fan! Ok here‘s my part 1 thoughts! Jasnah is alive! Woo! And what do we think about the bomb that was dropped to Shallan- that Kaladin killed her brother. 1w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I had a feeling she was still alive. I can‘t wait to find out how. And I wonder how she will feel about Kaladin now. They had such a fun relationship. Like brother and sister. (edited) 1w

rabbitprincess Whew finally finished Part 1! The scene with the Midnight Mother was absolutely chilling, very well done! And I happened to be reading this on the bus when I hit the illustration of the creepy spren lurking in the darkness 😂 YEARGH!! 6d
rabbitprincess I‘ve been finding this one a bit slower than Words of Radiance, but not sure how much of that is the book and how much of that is my thesis work kicking into high gear and leaving my brain mushy 😅 6d
JacqMac @rabbitprincess 🤣Great timing on that. I‘m finding the Dalinar parts slow. Not the flashbacks, but the visions. I could kinda do without them, but I‘m sure they are important, so I‘m trying. Lol (edited) 6d
Leniverse I've started a new job with a steep learning curve, and I've been too tired to even contemplate starting a 1200 page book, even though I've been really eager to continue the story. Today I finally decided to get started. I read until the end of ch. 17 in one go 😅 Not a pace I can maintain during the week, but I feel confident I'll be able to catch up. Love it so far! 5d
JacqMac @Leniverse It‘s so big lol 3d

This might be the definition of epic fantasy. Lol I split the first part into two parts to make it a bit more manageable. Because wow, this is a big one! I try to keep us as close to 200 pages as I can. I can‘t wait to get started though.

Leniverse Looks good! I'm excited to get started. 3w
Meshell1313 Can‘t wait to be back with my Kaladin again! 🥰 3w
rabbitprincess Still working on Arcanum Unbounded but looking forward to getting to this one!! 3w

I was away this week but I managed to squeeze this in. I didn‘t like this half as much. I really have issues with short stories. lol But it was okay. I‘ll be back later with the schedule for the next book. It‘s so massive! I‘m gonna need a minute.
#CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Yes I agree! My favorite of them all was emperor‘s soul. I liked shadows - the female bounty hunter. That one was good also. 6th dusk and the bird magic I didn‘t like as much. The ending felt unfinished. And edge dancer I liked. I liked Lift and the story of the voidbringers and I hope we see more of her in the future! 3w
Leniverse The Emperor's Soul was my fave too. When I got to the last story I understood why we needed to read this now though. Between that and the secret history I feel like I have a slightly better grip on what's what in the Cosmere. And Lift's character makes more sense to me now. Plus I can't wait to see how both Darkness and the white assassin will develop in the next book! 3w

The next in our #cosmerebuddyread was this collection of short stories. I loved getting some missing chunks from books we‘ve read, but I also loved meeting some new characters who I hope we will see again in the future. I also loved his post scripts explaining each story and his intros to each solar system. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

JacqMac The postscripts are great! 1mo

I‘m so glad I didn‘t have a problem with the short stories. I loved visiting these characters again. #CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Ok here‘s my thoughts: the Emperor‘s soul I loved! That stamp magic system was crazy! And I would love more of those characters. (edited) 1mo
Meshell1313 The hope of elantris- cute little story about the children. I still liked being back there and getting that missing piece. 1mo

Meshell1313 11th metal- I LOVED this glimpse into early Kelsier and how he trained to become a badass. 1mo
Meshell1313 Allmancer Jack was hilarious and cute. 1mo
Meshell1313 And finally Mistborn- I loved being back with Kelsier and Vin and getting this missing chunk. It filled in a lot of gaps and I loved the ending- the potential for him to come back! 1mo
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I agree with all of this. I loved every piece he added to every story. I can‘t get enough of Mistborn. I‘m hoping for more Kelsier, too. 1mo
Leniverse @Meshell1313 Agreed! I think The Emperor's Soul has been my favourite so far, although I loved all the behind the scenes in Mistborn stuff. I almost want to go back to the final book and compare some situations, look for hints of Kelsier 😂 And I'm happy to finally get some answers about the Cosmere! 1mo
rabbitprincess So many good stories in this first half! As an editor, I was cracking UP at the footnotes in Allomancer Jack. “As written, this sentence means he was invisible for one line. No, he won‘t let me change it” 🤣🤣🤣 @JacqMac @Leniverse @Meshell1313 3w
Leniverse @rabbitprincess The footnote commentary really made that story 😂 3w

I‘m not sure about this one. I tend to avoid short stories. I never like them. But maybe because they are connected I‘ll be okay. lol we are skipping White Sand. It‘s only short, but there‘s something about where it fits into the Cosmere. We will read it later. This reading order has worked so far, so I‘m going to trust it. #CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Ooh I love this! I trust you completely- you haven‘t steered us wrong! 1mo
Leniverse I'm a bit scared that they're all named something System. Are we being treated to a whole collection of new magic systems? 😬😅 1mo
rabbitprincess @Leniverse I‘m hoping the Rosharan one will just be elaborating on the Stormlight Archives magic system 😅 1mo
rabbitprincess @Meshell1313 I agree, this reading order has been excellent! 1mo
