Even Denth is a great character. Up there with Sadeas as such a complex, almost Identifiable, antagonist.

all this cosmere talk is making wonder if I've even read all these books y'all are talking about. A lot of this stuff goes right over my head.
Also, I guess I need to re-read Warbreaker. That is my least favorite Sanderson book, but now I'm thinking maybe I just didn't get "it."
The Final Empire is a fantastic book. The next two are definitely a dip, imo. Not bad, but not at the same level. I give the final empire a 10/10. The next two are either 6/10 or 7/10, for me. Still good, but I wouldn't put them in my top 6 or so of the Cosmere.Chipotlemonger said:

I really liked the prince/princess dynamic in that one, especially when she goes into the city and he keeps his identity secret to appear like a manipulative slumlord. Regardless the priest was my favorite. There are at least 2 character that I know of in Elantris that show up in Stormlight.
I believe the reason for this is that Final Empire almost reads like a heist book against the backdrop of an awesome setting and the other two fall closer to typical fantasy. The Well of Ascension is mostly court intrigue(little action until then end) and the Hero of Ages is an apocalyptic epic that has it's attention split for much of the book. Never mind that Kelsier was also absent. That being said, please read Secret History after the trilogy as it provides the full story of books 1,2, & 3.DallasTeleAg said:The Final Empire is a fantastic book.

I read Elantris, but thought it is very slow. I guess I was expecting what I have learned to expect from Sanderson. I found it boring.
Just started that late last week and am already 3/4 of the way thru the Way of Kings. may need to either slow down or read something inbetween. at this rate i will be done a month+ before Rhythm of War.DallasTeleAg said:
I'm about to start my Stormlight reread. So begins the long trek of 3000+ pages...
Wow... you definitely need to reread. You catch so much more you never did the first time. Especially in the Sanderlanch at the end of Oathbringer. So freaking much happens.Chipotlemonger said:
I've read all 3 just once a piece...I think Oathbringer may be my favorite. Hard to say though.
