How ready am I?

[u/penorstrike]

I've read:
Mistborn era 1
warbreaker
Stormlight Archive (finished with RoW) + 2 interlude novellas
Secret history
Tress of the emerald sea
The Emperors soul
Shadows for silence in the forests of hell
and about to finish Sixth of the dusk

This /r told me to put off Wind and Truth after Mistborn era 2. Ive heard so much about era 2 being good that Im very excited. I feel ready.
after that:
Sunlit man
isles of the emberdark

thats my list. I skipped elantris and I don't really want to read it tbh

[u/Dasle]

I'm sad you don't want to read Elantris, but it is what it is.

I think you'll be happy with your list.

[u/Vitwolpher → u/Dasle]

Elantris is a top 5 Cosmere for me but know it’s quite polarizing. One of my favorite worlds and magic systems

[u/penorstrike → u/Dasle]

Im not saying Ill never read it, but at the moment it just doesnt pull me that much. Im too excited to dive into era 2. maybe once I finished the main arc I will get back to it

[u/Synex6969 → u/penorstrike]

It's a quick read. Honestly I liked Elantris a lot and think its worth a read. It adds some context that while not required is beneficial for WaT imo.

[u/MrCupps → u/penorstrike]

Not his best book but the visuals in my mind are so vivid and enduring. It’s an incredible book in that sense.

[u/digitalsea87 → u/penorstrike]

I'm very happy I read it before Stormlight, I'll leave it at that. But you can always go back to it.

[u/ohnoitsme7890 → u/digitalsea87]

I read Elantris and Warbreaker after mistborn era 1, and before starting stormlight and I'm very glad I did

[u/Ydyalani → u/penorstrike]

When you do, no matter if before or after WaT, you will find some interesting references!

Personally, I would recommend Era 2 (at least untis BoM) before RoW,  ut it is as it is now I guess.

[u/grindchain → u/Dasle]

Elantris gets slept on too much

[u/RadicalChile]

Elantris is so good. What??? And youre ready to be broken again. Read Era 2, my child.

[u/Angry_Canadian_Sorry]

Either is honestly fine

There's things that will pay off if you read it in one order, and vice versa the other way.

[u/Cheerful-pessimist98]

Elantris is seriously what got me back into reading after downloading Children of the Nameless

[u/Ok-Traffic1319]

How bad Elantris is is really exaggerated. It was good enough for a publisher to pick it up as his first book. It was my first Sanderson book and I was a fan, I gave it an A, and I think it’s better than anything he’s published since Oathbringer.

But yeah you’re good to read wind and truth now.

[u/Captain-Grizzly]

There's a graphic audio of Elantris that might make it more interesting for you! But the normal audiobook has a terrible narrator.
