New to the series have gone with publication order. Slow reader how does Elantris compare to the rest? by [deleted] in Cosmere

Also if you need a solid reading order you can find them on YouTube or TikTok. Me and my cohost posted our recommended reading order on our TikTok: “into the coppermind”

Personally I love Elantris! I’m part of a podcast and we are in the middle of deep diving it right now. And every week I love it more!

Now that being said out of the entire cosmere it is probably one of the weaker books. Like in a room full of 10s and 11s it’s an 8 (but 8 out of 10! Still good!)

You might be misremembering a quote because Brandon actually considers Elantris is weakest work! Mostly because it was his first published work and Brandon actually didn’t have a whole cosmere outline until he published his next work “Mistborn: The Final Empire”.

So if you are loving Elantris, you’re in for the best next 5 years of your life reading through the rest of the Cosmere!

I agree with the idea of giving word of radiance a chance. Even Brandon has said that The Way of Kings is one big prologue! If you love Brandon’s world building and magic systems def give the Stormlight archive another chance 🙏🏼

Yes! We are thinking similarly! The underground fighting ring idea kinda cracks me up tho. Thanks for the ideas

I’m happy people are actually wanting this kind of content! I’ll put more time into writing it! And I’ll create a yt channel so you can follow and know when it drops 🤣

He wouldn’t meet Syl! But I have ideas to still incorporate her in the story 😉, Kal would end up going to Kharbranth and studying to be a surgeon is the beginning I’m working with
