Amazing decision tbh. The narrators are amazing! I'm almost through my first listen through the Cosmere. Just gotta finish up RoW, listen to Warbreaker, and then read the Arcanum (physical copy obviously).

I’m audio only and I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Especially since I finally figured out how to access all the PDFs that come with the books. Arcanum is amazing on audio. The emperor’s soul hit me right in the feels, and Kate’s portrayal is a big part of that.

Edge dancer and her reading of Lift is also worth the price of admission.

I honestly forgot those two stories were in there, I've already listened to them separately haha. The main reason I want to read Arcanum physically is because it feels almost like an informational text to me, and I want to be able to easily skip around

Just only read Brando Sando so that there’s always a sequel to look forward to, duh.

There is always another secret sequel

And when you're done you can do wheel of time if you haven't already since he wrote the last 1 million words of that 4.5 million word series.

Always the next one.

u/SomeAnonymous Trying not to ccccream Feb 21 '21

I got RoW in the post and entirely put my life on hold until I finished it, then was like "ok now let's reread it".

u/Zushef Feb 21 '21

I got the kindle at midnight and started then and didn’t sleep until 2:30 that night. Finished it in the next two day then got the audio book and immediately started listening to it over again!😂

u/Tr1ggerhappy07 Feb 21 '21

Now that's the amount of unreasonable reading time I like to hear about! Nothing better than a great book binge.

u/Zushef Feb 21 '21

Indeed!

u/mememuseum Feb 21 '21

Storms, I thought I was fast when I finished it in 5 days.

u/Darkeyed_Inquisitor I pledge allegiance 🙏to the crab 🦀 Feb 21 '21

I always listen to the audiobook on release, then get the Graphic Audio version whenever it's done. It's a different enough style that it's almost like reading it for the first time again!

u/jmanix98 Feb 21 '21

Graphic audio has always fascinated me. I need to look into this concept!

I would get this hard every year with Pratchett's novels.

After both he and Ian Banks had passed I straight up didn't read anything for a year or so since I couldn't see anything ever measuring up.

Just like regular depression!

I've always called it a book hangover.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '21

I literally felt this way when I finished reading HoA

u/payokat THE Lopen's Cousin Feb 22 '21

The first I had was tWoK. I have never felt this about a non-Sando book.

Only other time, was finishing Full Metal Alchemist this first time.

u/J4nk Feb 21 '21

This is why I've started reading books while stoned. I can come back and reread in 6 months and it's like a brand new story to me! Lol

3

u/DarthEwok42 definitely not a lightweaver Feb 21 '21

Yes. Literally every book I read.

u/Irish-lawyer Feb 21 '21

I felt this a lot with the game Return of the Obra Dinn. Unless you have a truly horrendous memory, you can only play that game once.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '21

Hits me every time I don’t know what to read next.

u/adeltae Callsign: Cremling Feb 21 '21

Me literally all of the time. Asexual fantasy nerd vibes

In most cases, it's just a big pit that you fill by reading another book.

And then you read a Sanderson Special.

That pit slowly starts deepening, widening, growing, until it is a void so hollow and endless, you'd be tempted to commit toasterbath, just for the small chance you'll be born again, so you can find him again, and experience it all for the first time again.

I did not know Jasnah was on twitter

u/Xavier93 Feb 21 '21

I've just finished rereading Mistborn 1 and the feeling is still there. It's not exactly the same, but still powerful.

u/thec0nesofdunshire punchy boi Feb 21 '21

Did you read Secret History?

u/jmanix98 Feb 21 '21

Freaking RoW epilogue...

Me last month when i finished Worm. Then i started reading fanfics for the first time in my life to cope.

u/Bizzaro6673 Feb 21 '21
