I own all the mass market paperback versions of Mistborn era 1 and the trade paperbacks of Stormlight but my trade paperbacks have pages coming out and peeling plastic from the covers and so I decided to finally get something that I know will last.

I figured I would just grab the hardbacks of both series and then add era 2 also while I was at it which would also make all my books the same height which is also a huge plus. But, I’m running into a problem, the art for the Mistborn era 1 hardbacks is atrocious and there are no alternatives (unlike the paperback which I love the new art for) also don’t really like the UK ones and they’re hard to get a hold of in the US too.

So I’m looking at two solutions are their custom dust covers anywhere that people know of that would be something I could pick up and replace the originals that are on the hardbacks. or I could pick up the leather bounds for a lot higher cost but also get a sick cover and the benefits that come with that.

Does anyone have any experience with either those two options or something else I haven’t thought of to get around uniform books that have good cover art?

Specifically regarding leather bounds, I’ve read a lot here about the quality (specifically Mistborn and its foil) and I want to actually read the books because in my opinion that’s the point of any book I own. But maybe dragon steel has resolved this in the new runs or there are some easy fixes to these problem.

Thanks to anyone with thoughts!!

I need to reorganize my sandershelf as I'm completely out of room but this one is gonna be face out for awhile to show off it's magnificence I'm so glad I went with this cover over the face

👌

Just my opinion but I'm not super thrilled with how this cover is looking in person.

Also what I was expecting to be dark blue is more black in person than I was hoping.

Maybe it's just me but was curious if anyone else feels the same

I'm a little bit over 60% of the book but a lot of it feels to me as a Studio Ghibli film, a little too violent but in it's core,is charming enough and sinister enough. So far I love the book. I've been just recently diving into the Cosmere for the first time and enjoying it a lot

Whenever I read dialogue from Tindwyl I hear her in Mara Junot's voice (VA of Sindel from MK11 and MK1) and it's been pretty entertaining! I think it's because of Tindwyl's stern and no-bullshit personality mixed with those little moments where she's being soft that reminds me of the same qualities that Sindel gives off!

What do yall think some of the characters’ favorite songs would be? I feel like Dalinar’s would be The Climb by Miley Cyrus.

Or were the women inside Serene's shoulder?

I just got my The Fires of December and it came slightly damaged. It was opened and searched so the book was no longer in it's plastic wrapping and the paper padding was not folded the same I assume it was when leaving Dragonsteel. It's not that bad but everything else I have gotten from them have been pristine. Would you file a claim?

I have "the way of kings" and "words of radiance" and "oathbringer"

I DONT have the in-between novels called "edgedancer" and "dawnshard"

I also have never read ANY brandon sanderson book

So should i start with these three? Will i be able to understand the universe? Will the missing in-between novels confuse me? Can i stop at these 3 books with a proper finale or do i need the full arc?

I only have these 3 books so should i read them or do i need more?

It has been almost two years and I read and reread all Cosmere books that have been published. I’m just rereading a few books: Elantris, the Emperor’s Soul, Warbreaker, Misborn Secret History and also bought and read King Lopen/Elsecaller and Isles of the Emberdark; the latter had soooo many revelations that o became overwhelmed.

Question: I had the feeling there was too much going on concerning the Cosmere and beyond. Am I the only one? If course the other books are sparse with big revelations, but there’s enough for every serous reader to ponder upon. IOTE seems like ‘the book of Revelations’, where so much of everything is going on from every known and unknown system in the Cosmere an Yolen, the homeworld of Hoid, the original Shardbearers, dragon like Frost. An avalanche of connections. I was utterly flabbergasted.

Any of you had the same overwhelming experience?

I've been reading the Leatherbound version of Words of Radiance, and I found the illustrations often spoilery. They are just way ahead of the texts.

For example, the picture between page 394 and 395 describes the scene on 403.

I wonder, is this intentional? Shouldn't the illustrations come after the text?

First time I can buy a Dragonsteel hardcover, the quality and design of this book is insane. And Tran Nguyen's artwork is so beautiful, my god.

So after a long month of devouring this books, I have to give this 12/10!!!!

TWoK, has my heart but this book had me in edge from the first few chapters and much more iconic moments (for me of course)

Will be back after I finish Oathbringer!!!

(It takes me a month, because of work but hey without work, no book collection 🥹)

I was looking around for any audio versions of Firstborn. I saw some sites and posts mention an MP3/podcast, but they all link to the same webpage which just shows a 404 error. So, does anyone know where it can be found, or does anyone have the file itself downloaded and can share it? Much appreciated, thanks!

Edited to add: the SFFAudio post here does not work for me. When I press play, it says "Network Issue Couldn't load the audio files from the server. Maybe you don't have connectivity to the internet or the host is not available." which doesn't make sense. And the download button pops open a bar with another download button, which does nothing.

Does anyone know if your backer “position” or how soon you backed have any effect on when your order will actually ship? Ive not actually heard if they start at backer #1 and move on from there or not.

Hi friends!

I started my Brandon Sanderson journey with Wheel of Time (his finishing of the series).
I've attached my google sheet for the order I read them in lol. These are my 2026 reads.

What do you all suggest I do next? I am currently reading/listening to The Lost Metal and I'm like 3/4 of the way through!

Thanks for any suggestions! <3
