Hey man! 😄 As per your request: I'm the one who submitted "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" as my number 1! 😋 And thank you for your words, it means a lot! 😃💙📚 I'm also 1 of the 2 that submitted "Sixth of the Dusk" to the list, as well 😋 I love both of these stories because of their darker tones, and me being a dark fantasy author, they fit me like a glove (or a pair of gloves, rather 😂)! And I personally classify both "Shadows [...]" and "Sixth of the Dusk" as dark fantasy, which may explain my affinity to them. 😊 I'm actually releasing a fantasy reading vlog next thursday in which I talk about both of these books, as well as one of your favorite short stories/novellas 😉 Take care, and thanks again for the shout out! 😃💙📚
Hey! 😃Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell is such an underrated story! That's awesome you placed it in the #1 spot! I also like the slightly darker tone to this story, it makes it a very unique Cosmere novel, and I wish more people would check it out. Sixth of the Dusk is fantastic as well! Happy reading to you! 📖📚
I loved stormlight archive for the same reason. I haven’t read the mistborn series in it’s entirety yet but… I feel like a mix of shallahn and kalodin in my mentality so when they are making steps to be better I cry If this is confusing it’s cuz I tried to keep it spoiler free 😅
Totally agree! Whenever someone mentions they love Sanderson, I always ask if they’ve read this, and most the time they have not, so I love giving that recommendation!!
This would be my list! 1. Words of Radiance 2. The Way of Kings 3. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter 4. Skyward 5. The Hero of Ages 6. The Lost Metal 7. Tress of the Emerald Sea 8. The Emperor's Soul 9. Sixth of the Dusk 10. Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians 11. The Sunlit Man 12. Rhythm of War 13. Warbreaker
@@CapturedInWords Is really great of you like chaos and hilarity. I love a good funny story alongside the more heavy/serious ones, and the uniqueness and humor just barely put it over some of his other books(that I still love) for me.
Dang how did i miss your survey 😮 Would have loved to participate. However, thank you for the awesome video! I also love to watch your character & book summarizes! The videos show how much work you put into them and always gets me hyped to read the book again! They are also always the first thing I watch once I see them in my recommendations 😊
@@CapturedInWords if you can and feel like it someday, come to Qc city! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only frenchy fan around here and of course we have an accent, but I swear to god that nothing is worst than GSP’s so if you heard it and could take it, you don’t have anything to fear😂😂
I still love rhythm of war, mostly because in my opinion it was very realistic for Kaladins story with depression and always falling back into that circle.
YAY! Stormlight archive summary video!!! Also, it looks like the only book in my ranking that matched the rankings everyone else did was Oathbringer at ranking #4.
Do most people like Mistborn more than Hero of Ages!? I just read through Era 1 and while I love the more personal nature of Mistborn, Hero of Ages blew my socks off! Hero is my fav for sure
Great video, and super excited for the WoR summary. I've watched the WoK summary several times! Really adds to the enjoyment of the whole series as it helps me keep it all straight in an easy and entertaining way!
I would love to see you finish the whole stormlight series with the in-depth summary. I know its a ton of work, and takes forever. But you've done such a great job with the ones you've done so far. I hope you get around to it.
I somehow got the classic and dramatized version of Elantris and I’m excited to listen to the regular then the dramatized. I tried to start with the dramatized but I kept getting distracted and confused on who was talking.
i have only so far listening to audiobooks for cosmere books, and i'm listening to them while at work. so far i have liked every one of them. i don't know how i would even think about rating them.
I just recently reread Rhythm of War and it completely changed my opinion of it. I think it suffers from expectations after Oathbringer. After the end of Oathbringer the narrative seems primed to expand but RoW is very internal for a lot of it. When you revisit RoW with those expectations gone it reads so different and satisfying
I loved Skyward, but didn’t think the rest of the series was at the same level. Cytonic in particular felt like a side quest that should have been a couple chapters but was stretched into a book. I am a big fan of Lift and the Edgedancer novella. I felt like she added a little bit of levity to a series that can be very heavy with mental and emotional struggles. I really appreciated the short reprieve.
I have not read Sixth of Dusk or the Sunlit Man. But, my order is..... 10) Oathbringer 9) Edgedancer 8) The Hero of Ages 7) The Final Empire 6) The Bands of Mourning 5) The Way of Kings 4) Yumi and the Nightmare Painter 3) The Lost Metal 2) Words of Radiance 1) The Emperor's Soul. Emperor's Soul is one of the finest pieces of literature I've ever read.
"I thought a lot of people love Lift." Oh Jay. True, a lot of people love Lift; but a lot of people also HATE Lift. She's probably Sanderson's not divisive character.
I adore Mistborn era 2. It’s my favorite series of his. My top 3 is definitely Tress, Warbreaker, and Elantris, though. You should definitely listen to Graphic Audio’s White Sand, by the way! I think it’s the best way to experience the story! It’s very underrated
I’m very surprised at the Mistborn 2 data and Sunlit Man. I had BoM and Sunlit in my top 10. Also I still don’t get the Yumi hype, fun read but I didn’t get as much out of it.
I’m 3/4 of the way through Words of Radiance right now, I agree that it’s the best of Brandon so far. I’ve read everything in the Cosmere except for the rest of Stormlight, Yumi,Sunlit man, and the lost metal.
I only read Elantris, Emperor's soul and Skyward series from Sanderson as of now. Skyward is pretty fun, you should read it, I didn't think an AI could be such an amazing character)
I did not connect with any of the Characters in the Sunlit man and the bad guy was so Bland. Cosmere stuff was cool but it was more like a long WOB. If it was not a cosmere story I would have DNF it. It is my least favourite Cosmere novel of all of them. Dragonsteel Prime is way better than sunlit man for example. :D
You NEED to read the Alcatraz series! It’s such fun! The kids and I listened to it last summer and still quote it. It’s a great palate cleanser or slump buster.
I'm attempting to read all the Sanderson books, and the main ones I need to get to are skyward 2 and 3, and Alcatraz 3-6. And let's not forget the wheel of time, still working in that one. But I think I've read all the rest
I love HP, GOT, LoTR, Dune and much more.. The pictures of the stormlight archive looks so over the top. I didnt started because I think it is too much (high)-fantasy with hard-magic? Am I right or will I love it because I love the other ones too?
I'm here for all Sanderson's underrated novels. Rithmatist is excellent. Legion (as a whole) is very, very good. I read both as a 29 year old and had a better time with them than with most of the secret projects.
I was really disappointed in Sanderson for bringing out the Stormlight Novella's. I missed the announcement of the Novella's and felt lost in Oathbringer as a result
Sanderson's YA stuff is awesome. Reckoners is great and so is one called the rithmatist. Haven't finished the video yet so maybe you mentioned that one later.
I haven't read all of Sanderson's books yet. Need most of the stand alones and I probably won't read his YA stuff because that doesn't interest me. But here is my top 10 of his so far: 10. Shadows of Self (4 out of 5 stars) 9. Towers of Midnight (4.5) 8. Alloy of Law (4.5) 7. Oathbringer (5) 6. The Bands of Mourning (5) 5. A Memory of Light (5) 4. Words of Radiance (5) 3. The Lost Metal (5) 2. The Gathering Storm (5) 1. The Way of Kings (5) Noticeably absent in my top 10 is the first Mistborn trilogy. I liked all of them; gave each a 4 star rating but I liked these others more. If I didn't include the WoT books 2 of them would make it onto the list along with RoW. But I would rather include the WoT books since they are much much better overall than Era 1 in my opinion. Everything I've read of Sanderson so far has been at least a 4 star.
Sunlit Man didn’t get a higher ranking from me simply because I just enjoy so many others more I’ve loved Sunlit man, but I enjoy others more, maybe because of how long I lived with them. I would also say it was a little too action packed for me Also the White Sand graphic audio is great!!
I wanted to read White sand, I just couldn't buy Vol. 1 for a reasonable price. Mostly because shipping from USA is up to 30$, bookdepository didn't have it... just kind of gave up looking for it. Favourite short stories for me are LEGION.
Hello, thanks for the video. I just started reading Mistborn this week. After Era 1 I will start with Stormlight Archive. I'm from Germany and unfortunately Sanderson isn't that well known here. So far I really like Mistborn.
Hmm? stimmt doch garnicht. Seine Bücher liegen immer bei den Bestsellern. Auch das jedes seiner Bücher eine Übersetzung hat und es sowohl Hardcover und Taschenbücher gibt spricht schon dafür das die Bücher sich auch in Deutschland gut verkaufen.
@@robsch21 Ok, war mir nicht so bewusst. Ich war letztens in Thalia und da waren in physischer Form kaum Bücher von ihm vorhanden. Direkt bei Thalia wird eher auf folgende Fantasy-Reihen aufmerksam gemacht: Witcher, Herr der Ringe, Name des Windes, Das Lied von Eis und Feuer, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Die Zwerge, etc... Von diesen Reihen waren die Bücher vollständig da. Nirgendwo wurde auf ähnliche Weise auf Mistborn oder die Sturmlicht-Chroniken aufmerksam gemacht. Das hatte mich auch gewundert und eine Internet-Recherche ergab, dass er in Deutschland eben nicht so einen hohen Bekanntheitsgrad genießt wie im englischsprachigen Raum.
@@MobFiga4eva Ich würde auch nicht sagen das er namentlich einen ähnlichen Stellenwert hat wie Tolkien oder Martin aber seine Bücher sind trotzdem beliebt. In meinem Thalia gibt es einen extra “Kosmeer” Tisch. Solche Buchhandlungen passen sich ja immer der Nachfrage an. Vielleicht wohnen bei dir einfach nicht die richtigen Leute hahah
@@robsch21 ja, möglicherweise wohne ich am falschen Fleck. Aber die Dame bei Thalia meinte auch wirklich, dass halt die vorhandenen Bücher wie Witcher, GoT, etc. tatsächlich beliebter sind. Ich persönlich habe das Gefühl, dass Sanderson international wohl als einer der größten und besten Fantasy-Autoren gilt und mein Gefühl sagt mir auch, dass das in Deutschland auch nicht so vermittelt wird. Was hast du bis jetzt von ihm gelesen ?
@@MobFiga4eva Ich glaube tatsächlich auch das in Deutschland nicht wirklich viele Fantasy hardcore Fans leben und das die Buchverkäufe von Tolkien und Martin so hoch sind weil die Reihen eine immense Popularität bekommen haben durch die Filme/Serie. Also von den Menschen von den ich weiß das sie gerne Fantasy lesen die kennen alle Brandon Sanderson, aber Leute die zB Game of Thrones gelesen haben da haben die wenigsten irgendwas von Sanderson gelesen da sie die GoT Bücher nur gelesen haben weil die Serie so populär war. Ich persönlich habe von ihm die Sturmlichtchroniken und Sturmklänge (Warbreaker) gelesen
Most of the music I get from those videos is from my subscription to MotionArray, here's one I often use for Stormlight: motionarray.com/royalty-free-music/orbit-of-uncertainty-143157/?q=orbit%20of%20uncertain
The Reckoners series was my first approach to reading Sanderson. First book, amazing. Second book was okay. The last one I hated with a passion, I was so mad about the ending that I didn't want to read anything else by him 😂 (Of course, I continue reading him, he's one of my favourite authors)
I am new to Sanderson beyond TWOT as I just decided after my 3rd time through that series it was time to dive into Sanderson's other works. I love the prequel New Spring and all the rest of his work on Wheel. I adore Tress and it will now and forever be a Favorite fantasy novel. I agree, The Emperor's Soul is outstanding the magic arts were so good my daydreams often go wandering there. And my last Sanderson is Warbreaker, which I enjoy the color aspect and the Royal "Tonks" hair but, it dragged and lagged at times, and was way too predictable. Around two-thirds of the way through, I felt like, I could guess the rest, and I had. Beyond Wheel, my ranking of the bit I've gotten to is Tress, Soul, and Warbreaker. I am here on the hunt for next up should I go with a Novella? a Stand Alone? Or is it time to dive into the sexy massive tomes I'm flirting with?
I just finished oathbringer and I'm currently reading dawnshard. I had a hard time with words of radiance but I think it's because I didn't like the story of shallan, I found it boring and I found myself eye rolling whenever a part of her story interrupted some event lol. I like her but not as much as the others
I like his Legion series. And the Reckoners was a lot of fun too. I somehow missed your pole. I guess that's not unusual. I would've picked Words of Radiance as my favorite of his books.

Do you agree with this ranking? If you missed out on the survey, let me know your top 10 Brandon Sanderson books here in the comments!
The number of times my mind was absolutely blown near the ending of Hero of Ages is still one of my favorite reading experiences ever!
I JUST FINISHED IT. I AM STILL COMPREHENDING!!! IT WAS A MASTERPIECE!
Emperor soul wasn't in the list you had to wrote it manually, that's the reason it was so low
Ohhh dang I didn't realize that 😵 in that case, I wonder if it would have made it to top 10
Hey man! 😄 As per your request: I'm the one who submitted "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" as my number 1! 😋 And thank you for your words, it means a lot! 😃💙📚 I'm also 1 of the 2 that submitted "Sixth of the Dusk" to the list, as well 😋

Happy reading to you! 📖📚
Hero of Ages made me cry... So did The Lost Metal.
Books don't often make me cry.
I loved stormlight archive for the same reason. I haven’t read the mistborn series in it’s entirety yet but… I feel like a mix of shallahn and kalodin in my mentality so when they are making steps to be better I cry
If this is confusing it’s cuz I tried to keep it spoiler free 😅
Shadows for silence is extremely underrated. It’s Sanderson at his best.
Agreed!!
Totally agree! Whenever someone mentions they love Sanderson, I always ask if they’ve read this, and most the time they have not, so I love giving that recommendation!!
I just finished re-reading this via Kate Reading's audio performance. Agreed! Very good! I love the re-appearance of the shades in The Sunlit Man.
TBH I did not know that Brandon Sanderson had so many books. Got to look in to this more....
They are amazing. I’ve never been disappointed after reading one of his books.
I wasn’t either until defiant the last skyward book I thought it was really lame and one note
The Vin character study was phenomenal! Would love a Kelsier study!
Please do more character deep dives! I need you to do one on Hoid! Tress is the best insight we have into Sanderson's mind.
Interesting video about Brandon Sanderson books!! Happy reading to you!! 🎉
Thank you Safina!! 😊 Happy reading to you as well!
Warbreaker is free on Audible.
Is this still true?
@@ciderdonuts no, it was for a limited time I believe but I could be wrong.
Can confirm it is still free, just added so thank you for this :)
Your summaries are gold. Thank you so much for continuing them!
This would be my list!
1. Words of Radiance
2. The Way of Kings
3. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
4. Skyward
5. The Hero of Ages
6. The Lost Metal
7. Tress of the Emerald Sea
8. The Emperor's Soul
9. Sixth of the Dusk
10. Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians
11. The Sunlit Man
12. Rhythm of War
13. Warbreaker
Really great list! Looks like I need to read Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians!
@@CapturedInWords Is really great of you like chaos and hilarity. I love a good funny story alongside the more heavy/serious ones, and the uniqueness and humor just barely put it over some of his other books(that I still love) for me.
Thank you for your appreciation of Reckoners. I missed the poll, but Rithmatist and Steelheart all both in my top 10
Good choice! I think both of those are really underrated Sanderson works!
I loved the reckoners! I never hear anyone talking about it, but it was one of the most fun series that I've read. I couldn't put it down
Would love more character studies 🎉
Dang how did i miss your survey 😮 Would have loved to participate. However, thank you for the awesome video!
I also love to watch your character & book summarizes! The videos show how much work you put into them and always gets me hyped to read the book again! They are also always the first thing I watch once I see them in my recommendations 😊
Sunlit man is easily in my top 10, the things we get a glimpse of are completely crazy and make me want to read the next SA’s so bad
Right!? Same here!!
@@CapturedInWords if you can and feel like it someday, come to Qc city! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only frenchy fan around here and of course we have an accent, but I swear to god that nothing is worst than GSP’s so if you heard it and could take it, you don’t have anything to fear😂😂
Oathbringer is my favorite, mostly because Dalinar is my time favorite character from Brandon
I would love to see more character studies!
I still love rhythm of war, mostly because in my opinion it was very realistic for Kaladins story with depression and always falling back into that circle.
YAY! Stormlight archive summary video!!!
Also, it looks like the only book in my ranking that matched the rankings everyone else did was Oathbringer at ranking #4.
Do most people like Mistborn more than Hero of Ages!? I just read through Era 1 and while I love the more personal nature of Mistborn, Hero of Ages blew my socks off! Hero is my fav for sure
Mistborn is the name of the series. The Final Empire is the name of Mistborn book 1. I think most people like Hero of Ages more than The Final Empire.
I personally think that Rhythm of War improves dramatically on reread.
It did for me. It was among my least faves among Sanderson works after my first read. Upon reread, I am not sure what my former self was thinking.
The Alloy of Law above A Memory of Light XD
So I didn't rank Sunlit Man because I'm not there yet. I also only ranked cosmere books because thats all the Brando Sando I've read.
Great video, and super excited for the WoR summary. I've watched the WoK summary several times! Really adds to the enjoyment of the whole series as it helps me keep it all straight in an easy and entertaining way!
As a cosmere fan this was a delight for my soul ! :)
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Well of Ascension is my all time favorite Brandon Sanderson book. Perfection! (Chef's kiss)
I would love to see you finish the whole stormlight series with the in-depth summary. I know its a ton of work, and takes forever. But you've done such a great job with the ones you've done so far. I hope you get around to it.
Nevermind, I posted that before the end of the video. I'm glad you're getting back into those. I cant wait.
Hey! My ranking of Tress was pretty much Smack in the middle of the average! I gave it my #6 spot!
Enjoyed Shadows for Silence and Elantris more than I did Emperors Soul and Warbreaker
Elantris is my favorite! I should reread it someday....
The book discussion is great, but I want to know where Jay got that sweater. The color is chef's kiss 🤌🤌🤌
All love and zero negativity. I need a captured in words video on how you ask for that haircut
To be honest the white sand audiobook is pretty good and I prefer it over the graphic novel. It’s like a movie you listen to.
I somehow got the classic and dramatized version of Elantris and I’m excited to listen to the regular then the dramatized. I tried to start with the dramatized but I kept getting distracted and confused on who was talking.
Shadows For Silence was so cool, but I'd love for it to lean even more into the horror vibes
i have only so far listening to audiobooks for cosmere books, and i'm listening to them while at work. so far i have liked every one of them. i don't know how i would even think about rating them.
I just recently reread Rhythm of War and it completely changed my opinion of it. I think it suffers from expectations after Oathbringer. After the end of Oathbringer the narrative seems primed to expand but RoW is very internal for a lot of it. When you revisit RoW with those expectations gone it reads so different and satisfying
My personal favorite by a long shot is emperor’s soul, the writing is some of the most brilliant I’ve ever read 100%
Cool to see that we're both currently reading Words of Radiance
I loved Skyward, but didn’t think the rest of the series was at the same level. Cytonic in particular felt like a side quest that should have been a couple chapters but was stretched into a book.
I am a big fan of Lift and the Edgedancer novella. I felt like she added a little bit of levity to a series that can be very heavy with mental and emotional struggles. I really appreciated the short reprieve.
18 at least! Yay! I‘m a die hard Skyward fan 😂
Me too. I just read it and am on book 2 now. I’ve decided that sci-fi is my new personality. Because I love it so much 😅 I’m obsessed.
@@heatherstiara8033 The Audiobooks are also great if you‘re into those! ☺️
1) Edgedancer is the best side-story. 2) Sando is physically incapable of writing a short story.
Congrats on the sponsor. That is always huge
Thanks!!
I have not read Sixth of Dusk or the Sunlit Man. But, my order is.....
10) Oathbringer
9) Edgedancer
8) The Hero of Ages
7) The Final Empire
6) The Bands of Mourning
5) The Way of Kings
4) Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
3) The Lost Metal
2) Words of Radiance
1) The Emperor's Soul.
Emperor's Soul is one of the finest pieces of literature I've ever read.
My favorite is Words of Radiance!!! It's my #5 favorite book of all time.
What are you top 4?
As a newer Cosmere fan who has barely read anything...yep, Words of Radiance is brilliant. Easily in my top 5 for every single book I've ever read.
"I thought a lot of people love Lift." Oh Jay. True, a lot of people love Lift; but a lot of people also HATE Lift. She's probably Sanderson's not divisive character.
I personally dislike her
I adore Mistborn era 2. It’s my favorite series of his. My top 3 is definitely Tress, Warbreaker, and Elantris, though. You should definitely listen to Graphic Audio’s White Sand, by the way! I think it’s the best way to experience the story! It’s very underrated
I’m very surprised at the Mistborn 2 data and Sunlit Man. I had BoM and Sunlit in my top 10.
Also I still don’t get the Yumi hype, fun read but I didn’t get as much out of it.
I was surprised about Mistborn Era 2 and Sunlit Man as well!
I’m 3/4 of the way through Words of Radiance right now, I agree that it’s the best of Brandon so far. I’ve read everything in the Cosmere except for the rest of Stormlight, Yumi,Sunlit man, and the lost metal.
I only read Elantris, Emperor's soul and Skyward series from Sanderson as of now. Skyward is pretty fun, you should read it, I didn't think an AI could be such an amazing character)
I think I'll definitely start Skyward again so I can read it in its entirety! :)
When will you read Doors of Stone?
No one talks about legion.... Next we have dawnshard. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm also reading the stormlight archive now, the words of radiance page 156
I did not connect with any of the Characters in the Sunlit man and the bad guy was so Bland. Cosmere stuff was cool but it was more like a long WOB.
If it was not a cosmere story I would have DNF it. It is my least favourite Cosmere novel of all of them. Dragonsteel Prime is way better than sunlit man for example. :D
You NEED to read the Alcatraz series! It’s such fun! The kids and I listened to it last summer and still quote it. It’s a great palate cleanser or slump buster.
You've convinced me! I'll give the audiobooks a listen 😁
I love Brandon's books!
I'd love to know where you found all this art. It's all gorgeous.
I'm attempting to read all the Sanderson books, and the main ones I need to get to are skyward 2 and 3, and Alcatraz 3-6. And let's not forget the wheel of time, still working in that one.
But I think I've read all the rest
Awesome goal!! I still need to read Skyward 3 (and short stories) and the Alcatraz books
You do know they are planning to make the Mistborn series into a movie right?
Yes to character studies!!
I love HP, GOT, LoTR, Dune and much more.. The pictures of the stormlight archive looks so over the top. I didnt started because I think it is too much (high)-fantasy with hard-magic? Am I right or will I love it because I love the other ones too?
elantris sooo underated
I'm here for all Sanderson's underrated novels. Rithmatist is excellent. Legion (as a whole) is very, very good. I read both as a 29 year old and had a better time with them than with most of the secret projects.
“My list favorite Stormlight Archive book” aka “my fourth favorite book of all time”
I have not yet had a chance to Read The Sunlit Man, and so couldn’t honestly put it in my rankings, no matter how many people say they enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed the Skyward series. Great quality YA reads
I was really disappointed in Sanderson for bringing out the Stormlight Novella's. I missed the announcement of the Novella's and felt lost in Oathbringer as a result
Sanderson's YA stuff is awesome. Reckoners is great and so is one called the rithmatist. Haven't finished the video yet so maybe you mentioned that one later.
I haven't read all of Sanderson's books yet. Need most of the stand alones and I probably won't read his YA stuff because that doesn't interest me. But here is my top 10 of his so far:
10. Shadows of Self (4 out of 5 stars)
9. Towers of Midnight (4.5)
8. Alloy of Law (4.5)
7. Oathbringer (5)
6. The Bands of Mourning (5)
5. A Memory of Light (5)
4. Words of Radiance (5)
3. The Lost Metal (5)
2. The Gathering Storm (5)
1. The Way of Kings (5)
Noticeably absent in my top 10 is the first Mistborn trilogy. I liked all of them; gave each a 4 star rating but I liked these others more. If I didn't include the WoT books 2 of them would make it onto the list along with RoW. But I would rather include the WoT books since they are much much better overall than Era 1 in my opinion. Everything I've read of Sanderson so far has been at least a 4 star.
This is a really great list!
Sunlit Man didn’t get a higher ranking from me simply because I just enjoy so many others more
I’ve loved Sunlit man, but I enjoy others more, maybe because of how long I lived with them. I would also say it was a little too action packed for me
Also the White Sand graphic audio is great!!
I would greatly appreciate a deep,dive into Sazed. Mu most favorite character!!!
I wanted to read White sand, I just couldn't buy Vol. 1 for a reasonable price. Mostly because shipping from USA is up to 30$, bookdepository didn't have it... just kind of gave up looking for it. Favourite short stories for me are LEGION.
I wasn’t expecting it to be, but it’s a shame there’s no mention of the many lives of Stephen Leeds

Most of the music I get from those videos is from my subscription to MotionArray, here's one I often use for Stormlight: motionarray.com/royalty-free-music/orbit-of-uncertainty-143157/?q=orbit%20of%20uncertain
@@CapturedInWords Thanks for letting me know. The music you use in your videos is amazing and fits the atmosphere.
The Reckoners series was my first approach to reading Sanderson. First book, amazing. Second book was okay. The last one I hated with a passion, I was so mad about the ending that I didn't want to read anything else by him 😂 (Of course, I continue reading him, he's one of my favourite authors)
I am new to Sanderson beyond TWOT as I just decided after my 3rd time through that series it was time to dive into Sanderson's other works.
I love the prequel New Spring and all the rest of his work on Wheel.
I adore Tress and it will now and forever be a Favorite fantasy novel.
I agree, The Emperor's Soul is outstanding the magic arts were so good my daydreams often go wandering there.
And my last Sanderson is Warbreaker, which I enjoy the color aspect and the Royal "Tonks" hair but, it dragged and lagged at times, and was way too predictable.
Around two-thirds of the way through, I felt like, I could guess the rest, and I had.
Beyond Wheel, my ranking of the bit I've gotten to is Tress, Soul, and Warbreaker.
I am here on the hunt for next up should I go with a Novella? a Stand Alone? Or is it time to dive into the sexy massive tomes I'm flirting with?
Say, Brandon Sanderson 10 times fast. Nope. Too slow. Brandon wrote another book before you got to 10.
Theres nothing like Words of Radiance. Its the best.
Im struggling to get through Tress of the Emerald Sea...
Is the WoR summary still on the way?
The Emperor’s Soul was my #1, but I had to write it in.
My favorite brandon sanderson mission book is lost metal
The order for mistborn era 2 on this list is criminal.
I voted for Edgedancer
I just finished oathbringer and I'm currently reading dawnshard. I had a hard time with words of radiance but I think it's because I didn't like the story of shallan, I found it boring and I found myself eye rolling whenever a part of her story interrupted some event lol. I like her but not as much as the others
Booktubers and Top 10s. 😮😮nowaaaaay
Pains me to see steelheart so high, its the one that introduced me to Brandon and good autors in general
I liked Rhythm of War so much more than The Well of Ascension.
Sixth of Dusk is my fav short story
Yessss!!!
I liked skyward and I’m not a sci-fantasy fan so take that into consideration
Did Jay see the new Amazing Digital Circus Episode?
I like his Legion series. And the Reckoners was a lot of fun too. I somehow missed your pole. I guess that's not unusual. I would've picked Words of Radiance as my favorite of his books.
Edgedancer lift and SLA lift are almost two completely different characters IMO.
Ahh Secret History was short and fun too
Ya’ll did the Shadows of Self and Bands of Mourning dirty 😭
Should've been lower 😝
Agreed! 😭
Yeah.... I didn't like tress at all... couldn't finish it 😢
