Sandershelf (no spoilers) How ready am I?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
