The Way of Kings.
I read all of Sanderson’s major novels in order up to this point and I’m really enjoying TWoK.
Make sure to read Secret History. It's pretty short but really really good. Im not sure where would be the best point to put it but i read it after all the Mist Born books and Rhythm of War. Which i think is later than intended but it still felt right.
Okay, cool! I hadn’t heard of Secret History but I’m going to check it out.
If you're sensitive about spoilers, I would wait until after reading the first 3 mistborn books.
Thanks! I actually read the whole mistborn trilogy already. I basically read through his novels in the order they were written up to The Way of Kings.
Ah, I misread your comment. I read them in a wonky order. I read the Stormlight Archive first, then backfilled mistborn, and snuck in Elantris. I basically see references I don't get, then try and read the book they came from, then hop back to the major books.
I read it after all tree books of the first Mistborn Trilogy, I think I preferred it that way, kept more of the mystery around the events of Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages.
Edit: Totally misread the second sentence, thought they hadn't read everything.
Dude. It’s only up from here. I started my Cosmere reading with TWoK and was instantly hooked. They’re still my favorite Sanderson stuff for sure.
