- VikingCoder 5y agoA friend suggested I buy the entire Mistborn series as one ebook. That worked for me.

- truxten 5y agoEither start with Mistborn #1: The Final Empire or The Stormlight Archive #1: The Way of Kings. They are his main series, and generally regarded as his best stuff. Would probably recommend Mistborn as it's been finished, and the mainline story is only 3 books.
- thaumasiotes 5y ago> They are his main series, and generally regarded as his best stuff. I think Elantris is his best. It's just that there's less of it (one book) than there is of the big series.
- Aeolun 5y agoElantris is great, but the end of the books is basically a gaping gap. Not entirely, but a bit like the story was cut off in the middle.
- eduardosalaz 5y agoOthers haven't said so but maybe you should try Warbreaker as it's the "most" standalone book of the Cosmere saga. It's the "most" in the sense that there are still subtle references to other works but they are very minor and you can totally enjoy it without reading the rest of them first. In fact, once you read Warbreaker you can see some connections with it later on the Stormlight Archive
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoThe emperor’s soul is a short novella, and is excellent. The quality to time commitment ratio is fantastic.
- xedrac 5y agoI second this choice. Legion is another short story novella that is really fun. My favorite Sanderson series so far is the Skyward series, for which I highly recommend the audio books. The narrator is amazing.
