Oathbringer | Brandon Sanderson

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.

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. 4d

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) 4d

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!! 7h

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 😅 7h

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.

Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection | Brandon Sanderson

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.

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! 3w

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) 4w

Meshell1313 The hope of elantris- cute little story about the children. I still liked being back there and getting that missing piece. 4w

Meshell1313 11th metal- I LOVED this glimpse into early Kelsier and how he trained to become a badass. 4w

Meshell1313 Allmancer Jack was hilarious and cute. 4w

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! 4w

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. 3w

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! 3w

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 2w

Leniverse @rabbitprincess The footnote commentary really made that story 😂 2w

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

Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Author's Definitive Edition | Brandon Sanderson

This was so much better than what I was expecting from his debut novel. I was a little worried going in, but it felt very much like Mistborn to me. I can‘t wait to hear what you all think. I‘ll be back later with next week‘s schedule. #CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 I loved it when Hoid showed up! I love that little connection to all the Cosmere books. What did we think of this magic system? I felt this ending in particular was a little rushed- like he was trying to wrap everything up quickly. 1mo

JacqMac @Meshell1313 I loved the Hoid part!! It was perfect. Not my favorite of the magical systems. I think we need a second book. lol I found the ending rushed as well. I guess that‘s why all the Stormlight books are so long. And I‘m okay with that. 1mo

Leniverse I was wondering when Hoid would show up. He didn't have much impact here, however. He seems to be more actively meddling in later books. 1mo

Leniverse I enjoyed this, but it's not as good as later books. Well, it's better paced than the Way of Kings 🤣 Seriously though, he recycled a lot of elements to better effect in Mistborn. And the magic system was basically just channeling the life force of the world. Spellcasting via sigils and glyphs. And tai chi. But I really appreciate him letting the MCs have a happy ending! I was worried for a while that they'd ALL die whilst saving the world. 😅 1mo

Leniverse Oh. Just got through all the extra material in the 10th anniversary edition and found an extra scene with Hoid and a talking black sphere at the end. So nvm, he was clearly meddling, I just have no clue what he was up to (except trying to become an Elantrian) or why. 😂 1mo

JacqMac @Leniverse He has such a way of killing everyone, I was a little worried, too. 🤣 1mo

rabbitprincess Haha I nearly yelled HOID!!!! on the bus when he appeared 😂 I agree that the ending was a bit rushed. The first part was kind of slow for me but then it ramped up really quickly. With Hrathen, he very quickly establishes the thread of complex bad guys that I see in his other works. I definitely got more out of this by reading it now! 1mo
