I have been a lurker of the various Sanderson-themed subreddits. Unfortunately for me and my fellow introverts, there isn’t much here to lurk at (yet!). I thought maybe we could get things started by discussing how we all got into the Cosmere. I’ll go first!
In November of last year, a friend of mine recommended I read Mistborn. I had just barely started reading again after a long break and was in need of a new series. I was about to go on a long drive, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library so I had something to listen to. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. In the last six months, I have read every single Cosmere book I could get my hands on, and have absolutely loved each one. I finished it all off with Tress last month. My only regret is not getting into this sooner so I could have been a part of the Secret Project Kickstarter.
Here’s hoping we can get this community going!
The first Sanderson books that I read were Elantris and Warbreaker which I found through the GraphicAudio audiobooks. At the time I had no idea that they were part of a larger world or series. I thought they were good, but they didn’t cause me to go seek out others from the author. I rediscovered Sanderson when I found the Mistborn trilogy in like 2015 and have been reading everything he’s ever written since then.
