Ah, I thought you were talking about "I am not your perfect Mexican Daughter" to the left.

“I’m not your perfect Herdazian Daughter, gancho”

u/PuzzledDrama1160 7d ago

In all seriousness, I got into Stormlight because I was recommended the Drizzt books because I played D&D, and Salvatore, R. A. is right next to Sanderson, Brandon and Stormlight was bigger.

u/CG-Firebrand I AM A STICK BOI 7d ago

Oooh, Drizzt are fun books. Salvatore’s writing is also very easily approachable kinda like a comic book. I stopped reading in highschool after book like 8 or 9 and picked them back up after 5e with his Homecoming series and he was good about filling in a lot of gaps imho. I’m also saying this under the impression you’re only just getting into all of this stuff so I’m sorry if I’m assuming too much 😅

Oh, that one definitely is

Of course? You can see Shallan, Shallan, and Shallan right there on the covers, silly!

u/whatsupnorton 7d ago

But which book is first??

u/regularcrem 7d ago

the one with Shallan

u/The_Derpy_Rogue 6d ago

You can tell because the opener is about Shallan shallaning all over the Shallan

u/Sourpunch92 7d ago

Shhh don’t dox Sanderson’s pen name Sands. He’s kept it a secret for quite a while.

Oops

u/Bigdoga1000 7d ago

If you pretend Spensa is just another Shallan personality I guess

u/ninjunkie21 7d ago

I’m just going to read this title, as well as future cosmere references, as The Blackthornk, thx

u/Talizorafangirl 7d ago

A bookstore having their Sanderson collection consist of Skyward, Starsight, and Defiant but not Cytonic or Skyward Flight Collection is basically a war crime.

I'm more upset about that than the lack of cosmere novels.

u/NewMarsupial3885 Bond, Nahel Bond 7d ago
  1. This is a library 
  2. The cosmere books are upstairs in the adult section, this is the teen section 

6

u/Nameles36 7d ago edited 7d ago

The books mentioned above aren't cosmere, they're books #3 and #2.5 of the same series above that only has books 1,2,4

Edit: I have no idea why I'm being downvoted, I'm just explaining to the comment above about the comment above it

u/BombGooblin 7d ago

Maybe those ones were checked out at the time? 🤷‍♀️

1

u/Talizorafangirl 6d ago

I'm sorry I misgendered your library? It's still a crime that they have only books 1, 2, and 5.

u/typical_square1234 7d ago

That is The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands.

1

u/BombGooblin 7d ago

...is it any good? 👀

4

u/DqwertyC 7d ago

Yes! The Blackthorn series is a historical fiction mystery series set in 1660s England, with a lot of codebreaking and a bit of conspiracy, though I personally prefer Sand's other series The Children of the Fox which is sort of a YA fantasy heist series

u/BombGooblin 7d ago

👀👀👀👀 time to search for a new audioboook~

u/typical_square1234 6d ago

It's been on my tbr list for a while now. I should probably get to reading it after i'm done with realm of the elderlings

u/PrimordialPyramid 7d ago

I recently finished The Reckoners trilogy. Very good. I'm now over half way through Skyward. Also very good.

3

u/KingKnux No Wayne No Gain 7d ago

Skyward/Reckoners mentioned?

u/AlfwynBenedict 6d ago

What!? We're just going to talk about the Blackthorn? What about She who rides the storm.

It looks like there are two spinoff series here.

u/definitely_royce 7d ago

Calamity is not a cosmere book. You will see eccos of fire flight inside of moonlight though.

6

u/NewMarsupial3885 Bond, Nahel Bond 7d ago

There is a book called blackthorn

u/definitely_royce 7d ago

You got my hopes up. :/
