    I just read the 4 Stormlight Archives books this past year (in addition to the novellas) but I’m already itching to reread them.

      I got into the Cosmere about three years back. I started with The Way Of Kings just because I had heard Sanderson was good and had an audible credit. Then I learned about the whole Cosmere and flew through the rest of it. I’m up to Words Of Radiance on my first re read before #5 comes out.

        I started reading more when the Reddit API stuff happened. Meant to pick up Mistborn AGES ago at a friend’s behest and then went to Way of Kings after Mistborn Era 1 was over.

        Haven’t looked back, and have barely read anything not written by Brando Sando since then.

      I think I’ve read all of Sanderson except for Stormlight (I’ll read it as soon as he finishes it). Is Stormlight the series that makes the cosmere make sense?

      Like, I know the cosmere is a thing. And I’m aware that all these disparate worlds are somehow interconnected. Other than a cameo of characters near the end of Wax & Wayne, there is never a reference to the cosmere in anything I’ve read.

      I enjoy his books, but I don’t get the significance of The Cosmere at all.

        You will recognize a character that makes waves in Stormlight named Hoid. He makes cameos in pretty much every work of Sanderson’s.
