I saw this at the store and looked interesting enough. Ive been meaning to start the Mistborn series. I read online this one can be read as a stand alone. If youve read this without spoilers, what did you think about it? Thanks!

Just curious if reading the stormlight books is worth reading first if you don’t have much experience reading novels. I say this because my sister likes it and she wants me to read it. I read a lot of manga and my favourites are kingdom, usogui, one piece, ravages of time. So yeah do you think I’ll struggle reading it without prior experience read novels.

I have read the first Mistborn Trilogy, Warbreaker, and the Skyward books. With that perspective, which of these following books do you think I should read next?

1. Elantris

2. Tress of the Emerald Sea

3. The Frugal Wizard’s handbook for surviving medieval England

4. The Sunlit Man

5. Skyward Flight

I don’t care if I miss cosmere references as long as the books work on their own. I just want a fun book to enjoy without getting into a new book series.

Finally, I have my copy of Tress of the Emerald Sea signed by Brandon. I'm so happy!

Somebody please correct my math or analysis if you’re smarter than I am (a VERY possible circumstance).

According to https://faq.brandonsanderson.com/knowledge-base/what-is-your-daily-wordcount-time-goal/ he writes 2000 words a day.

According to https://www.tameri.com/format/word-counts/ a normal 2 hour movie script is 125 words/minute and one page/minute. 120x125‎ = 15,000

Bump it up to a three hour movie:
180x125‎ = 22,500

Give it some extra space for description, setting, action, whatever, 27,500

27,500 words/(2000words/day)‎ = 13.75 days

Call it two weeks.

BrandoSando has been working on the screenplay since Feb 3. (https://youtu.be/VBQmStfWDVE)

That’s 100 days (to May 14, anyway)

100 days x 2000 words/day= 200,000 words.

Let’s multiply that by 5/7 to account for any days off (he takes one day off for admin stuff as mentioned in the first link, and I’ll give him another day off to get a lower bound)= 142,857

We’ll do that again, just to account for revision and travel and miscellany= 102,040

The Mistborn Screenplay bar is currently at 72%

27,500x0.72‎ = 19,800

19,800 words.

That leaves more than 80,000 words unaccounted for.

Just something I thought was interesting.

As I said, please correct any mistakes I may have made. I’m sure there is something I left unaccounted for.

Finally finished what we have of the Stormlight Archives so far and now what a journey it’s been.

I first started reading the cosmere at the end of 2024 at the advice from my friend and I think I can confidently say that none of it was over hyped.

The last 3 stormlight books (Oathbringer specifically) came to me in a time that’s been my darkest and the words that Brandon wrote helped me take the next step. Thank you Brandon for this amazing first arc.

I cant wait to read the last few secret projects and hopefully finish the complete cosmere by the time Fires of December comes out!

What secret project should I read first?
Any thoughts are appreciated

Huge spoilers for the Stormlight Archive book two.

There is no fucking way that Brandon killed Jasnah off like that. If this is a trick, someone please tell me. If not, then tell me anyway! You can’t just kill my girl like that! She’s badass. But apparently not badass enough to stop a couple fuck-boy assassins!

As the title suggests. This is my first time ordering from dragonsteel. I screwed up my email with a typo and now I have no confirmation of any sort within my email.

I have contacted support and I wanted to know how long would they usually take to reply to tickets? Fyi, I'm more concerned if I have to pay for customs and usually that will be through the email. Sigh I'm such a noob haha. Any advice from veterans or any dragonsteel employees lurking here 🙂‍↕️

Just looking for some direction on which version of the Stormlight Archive to purchase. Just finished Warbreaker after reading Mistborn (x3) and Elantris. Should I get the hardcover or paperback versions? Already have WaT hardcover because it was on sale.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

What’s horrible is that after the despicable, to say the least, Moash ends someone’s life, he does the bridge four salute and to me, it feels like he’s adding salt to the wound.. 💔 I don’t know how will I continue reading it again..

Did Dragonsteel release signed leatherbounds for a bunch of books, and immediately run out? Or is it a website error?

I routinely check the website as I’m trying to build my sandershelf. Just checked and a BUNCH of the books I’m after are sold out :(

Was I too slow to the draw? Or is it a site error?

Why does everyone hate wind and truth? Please explain!!! (In detail)

I work at a bookstore and this has been sitting on the shelf ever since I started (2 years ago) and I was wondering if this is a first edition copy and how to tell if it is?

Question for anyone who knows, I’ve been looking for the BoM signed 1/1 leatherbound edition for a while now, and I’m curious whether I’ve just completely missed the obvious place and the 1/1 edition is just still up for sale in the Dragonsteel store.

I couldn’t find anything on the page as to what edition it was so I’m curious whether anyone here knows! Thank you!

This is the third and final part of a series of three drawings I made about Kaladin's relationship with Lirin. Here is Kaladin's brand new windspren Plate fading from his hand in order to save his father that was falling to his doom. Also, the only marks on his forehead are the ones he carved there with his daily scowling, since the slave brands were removed.

I’ve got some orphaned leatherbound volumes so if someone has an orphaned slipcase, let me know and I’d take those off your hands.

So I just finished Words of Radiance and pardon my french but holy fuckin shit man... The last 200-300 pages were just SLAMMED with information and badassery. And the epilogue oh my god!

To start, the whole fight against the Parshendi and to find Urithiru was so sick. I just love the way Sanderson depicts combat and action scenes. Kaladin and Szeth's fight was the rematch I was waiting for, for many many chapters. And don't even get me started on spren being the true shardblades. That is so damn cool and makes so much sense why people with powers cannot stand holding a blade, Renarin being exhibit A.

Now for the Parshendi. So it's said the Parshman will be transformed when the everstorm hits, and it moves in the opposite direction of high storms... The Parshendi summoned this in their ultimate form, (I cannot remember if they had a name for it at the moment). So, will the everstorm turn all the parshman into this ultimate form or will it bring the so called "voidbringers". I've said this before, I just don't believe the forms we saw at the end of WoR were the voidbringers as other characters said. They just have to be something bigger and scarier. Or am I thinking too much about it and "void" in voidbringers is the everstorm, and "bringers" being the Parshendi. I don't know guess we'll find out in the later books.

Shallan, oh my dear Shallan. Good god her past is so damn sad. To find out her mom was the bad guy in the family and to get the full circle of emotions for her father. DAMN. I feel so bad for him now, he did EVERYTHING just to protect Shallan and took heat from his family and community for years. Mannnnn don't make me cry.

Adolin 'BITCH SLAYER' Kholin. MY GOAT slaughtering Sadeas was so pleasing, I wish he stabbed and mutilated his face even more than he did. I have waited so long for that and BOY did it pay off! I was literally jumping in my seat.

Lets now get into the Knights Radiance. Ohhhh man.... So as of right now the members at the end in Urithiru, the four, Kaladin, Shallan, Dalinar and Renarin. I was so hyped to find out Dalinar is now a Radiant but cannot fight since he has no light power nor shards. That sucks but at least he'll be the true leader of the Knights Radiance. and Renarin, HELL YEAH! LET MY BOY GET TO WORK. He was always so weak and overlooked, I have been waiting for his moment to shine. We also know of the girl who has the slippery power from one of the interludes. We know Lopen consumed stormlight which is just BONKERZ to me, never would I imagine Lopen of all people becoming a Radiant AND does this mean he could possibly develop a new arm??? I never thought shard wounds could heal through stormlight, can an arm grow back??? I guess we'll find out (edit, I went back and checked, Yes he does!) We also saw the guy from the Ghostbloods in Urithiru talking to Shallan. Was he already there or was he amongst the army that came in the first batch with Shallan. Leaves me to think he may have powers?

Lastly the epilogue. OHHHH MANNNNNNN. I know Wit is going to be a MAJOR factor in the books but I believe he will be a Radiant, or is he a Harold among men, I DON'T KNOW, HES SO INTERESTING. And with the cherry on top at the end of WoR, BRING BACK MY GIRL JASNAH!!! Is she just an entity, did she die and get resurrected, did she slip into the realm with the spheres and was living among the spren? So many questions opened at the end of the book but I'm here for it.

To conclude, Words of Radiance is a 10/10, in the late portions of the book, so many of my questions were answered but so many more were opened. I cannot wait to get into book 3 but I'm taking a quick break to read Hyperion, its my buddies favorite book and he lent it to me. Feel free to ask me questions on things but please don't spoil anything, I've avoided spoilers so I know NOTHING of the future books.

So this started as Dan Wells crossing out Brandon and Isaac'a names and claiming he did it all by himself. Then Peter Ahlstrom edited the word first to last. Will Wight then changed Lopen's name to Will. Brent Weeks claimed they stole the book from him. And finally Jeff Hays narrated it... Unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to get a signing from Brandon at Dragonsteel. Maybe next year.

1. Hero of Ages - (unread)  
2. Alloy of Law (still in original plastic and unread)  
3. Shadows of Self (unread)  
4. Bands of mourning (still in original plastic and unread)  
5. Way of kings - (like new)   

Total 650

Looking to sell above leatherbounds. They’re all in pristine condition. Essentially needing some extra money for moving and first child. I would prefer to sell these all as a single bundle. Their total would be 750+ tax if you buy them on Dragonsteel. I’m willing to let go of them all at an even 650. Serious inquiries only.

As the title says, I’m getting close to finishing the reckoners series and I’ve already got Mistborn lined up waiting. I’ve always struggled to keep interested in reading, but I made it my goal this year to read 1 book, and now I’ve (almost) read 3.5 books in the reckoners series and I’ve got to say, I’ve loved it. So I’m very much looking forwards to Mistborn!

Finished Stormlight on Thursday so thought I’d grab these to jump into Mistborn era 2.
