Ready to dive into the epic universe of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere? With so many interconnected worlds and stories, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming! Fear not, intrepid reader! This guide will help you navigate the Cosmere like a seasoned Worldhopper.
While there's no single *right* cosmere reading order, here's a popular and effective approach:
**Start with the essentials:** *Mistborn: The Final Empire* is a fantastic entry point. Follow it with the rest of the *Mistborn* trilogy and *Mistborn: Era 2*. Then, delve into *Warbreaker* – available for free on Brandon Sanderson's website!
**Expand your horizons:** Next, venture into *The Stormlight Archive*, starting with *The Way of Kings*. This series is longer and more complex but incredibly rewarding. Sprinkle in novellas like *Edgedancer* and *Dawnshard* between Stormlight books.
**Uncover hidden gems:** After Stormlight, explore standalone novels like *Elantris* and *Tress of the Emerald Sea*. Don't forget short stories and novellas like *Arcanum Unbounded*, which contains vital Cosmere lore.
Remember, the joy is in the journey! Happy reading, and welcome to the Cosmere!
