Started my WoK re-read. This is probably my 5th or 6th time, but I still love the way Bridge 4 comes together. And Dalinar is by far the best character as y'all have said.

Dalinar is maybe my favorite character of all time. Such a dude. I just finished reading the first book of Brent Weeks' Lightbringer series (The Black Prism) and enjoyed it, but cant decide whether to go ahead and read the rest of the series or begin my Stormlight re-read.
i cant pick one of the characters as a fave. Kal, Dalinar, Adolin, even secondary characters like Teft or Rock have some complexity to them that i really appreciate. losing any of them in future books will crush me. like you all, I didnt really care for Shallan's character during WoK, but once you got her backstory in WoR there was so much more there. BS clearly couldnt develop that along with kaladin during the first book, but am so glad we got it.heddleston said:

Yes. Just about every book/novella. I actually wonder if the whole Cosmere series of series were written just to frame Wit's larger story/goal.Chipotlemonger said:
Without spoilers if you will, is Wit in other books in the Sanderson books?
I've only been reading the Stormlight books, haven't read any other of the "Cosmere."
yes. some where he is outright named, and others he is in disguise and you have to really look for the hints to see if its him.Chipotlemonger said:

Do it. read them all. SO WORTH ITChipotlemonger said:
Wow! That's pretty neat.
Should I read any of the others or just leave it at Stormlight? I'm an all or nothing person, so if I read any others I'd want to probably read them all ha.

Its weird, i dont necessarily consider Wit a "Stormlight Archive" character, but more a Cosmere character. i know thats weird. but i agree, you cant help but smile and get a little excited everytime he shows up. Of course, now anytime a new character appears or someone isnt named outright, i start reading super closely "is this wit in disguise? sounds like wit, what is he doing?"
If you're all or nothing then definitely read the other series. There's at least half a dozen other characters in Stormlight that have been a side/main character in other series. Part of what makes Stormlight so invigorating is a lot more sh*t is going down than just the Singer/human war.Chipotlemonger said:

I would say Mistborn Era 1 (starts with The Final Empire). then maybe one of the standalone books like Warbreaker, then Elantris and Mistborn Era 2(starts with Alloy of Law). the novelas and stuff you can read after the main books. whatever you do, dont read Secret History until after you read thru Mistborn Era 1, lol. trust me.Chipotlemonger said:
Dammit I wanted to do a Dune reread but y'all are changing course for me here.
That being said, where do I start and where do I go order wise?
it took me a bit to get into, but yes. i think its worth it. there is also a crossover character from this that appears in stormlight with the other world hoppers looking for Hoidhunter2012 said:
There's also White Sand, but as it's a graphic novel I haven't read it yet. Can anyone recommend this? I believe it's on yet another different planet.
Im more looking forward to era 3. Allomancer SWAT team and a Mistborn Serial killer. F yeah.hunter2012 said:
Space Marine Allomancers are going to be freaking awesome.
Maybe you'll be able to answer the ultimate question, who would win between Kal and Kelsier?Chipotlemonger said:
Thank y'all for the input! I already have read Edgedancer, got to that between Stormlight 2 and 3 and liked it a lot. Will get started on Mistborn Era 1!
