Itās a mythical entity that doesnāt exist anymore. Gone the way of Sasquatch, The Loch Ness Monster, and open shots early in the shot clock.

The original MB trilogy is one of those I wish I could go back and read for the first time again. The ending is outstanding.
Have you read Warbreaker? It serves as a prequel for several characters that show up in Stormlight by a different name.
Iāve never been to a convention before, but decided to go to Dragonsteel for the Wind and Truth release. Something different from my usual traveling to watch UVA lose at sports. Haha.

Iām waiting for book 2 to come out before starting this series, but I really liked his first series (the Licanius trilogy).
Have not read War Breaker, but it sounds interesting. I plan on taking a Sanderson break after mistborn era 1 and Stormlight 5, but I own tress of the emerald sea, Yumi and the nightmare painter, and sunlit man. Iāve heard Tress is phenomenal
WOT may be favorite (completed) series of all time, but itās also hard to recommend because itās very long and some people just canāt stand it.
I totally get waiting (see GoT and Kingkiller Chronicles). Havenāt read the Licanius Trilogy yet.

Yeah, it has been a slog for me. Really enjoying Sandersonās injection here in the last three and hoping the payoff is worth it.
Yeah thereās no rush. Youāre in a good spot having plenty of books to work through. I started reading him some time after Words of Radiance came out, so there was lots to read, but now it stinks having to wait for the next one (even as fast as he is).

@chavlicek15 You should look up Sooley by John Grishamā¦ he said the story was inspired loosely on Mamadiā¦ itās not Mamadiās story per say, but he said he gave him the inspiration.

Tress is great. My favorite of the āSecret Projectā/Kickstarter books Sanderson released.

Its a good trilogy and I really liked the twists and turns as the characters evolve (It takes place overā¦ 5 years? 10 years? Time gets a little funky at some points), but those books are HUGE. The trilogy had to be 2000-2500 pages, so its a commitment.
Anyone read Sword of Kaigen?
No, but the Goodreads reviews look really good, so itās on my want to read list now.

Iāve read a handful of Asian inspired stories that people love and never been able to power through a full series (read 1.5 green bone saga, 1 three body, 1.5 poppy war, 1 dandelion dynasty) and Iāve heard sword of Kaigen is top top tier so hoping to like it

Also a favorite outside of sci fi and fantasy: Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. Family drama in South Carolina following a destructive family for basically their whole lives. Have yet to see someone who can turn a phrase like Conroy, you could find a sentence on any page worthy of committing to memory
