HomeAboutWhat Do Others Recommend?
Many people, including Brandon himself, have given their two cents when asked: Where do I start my Sander-venture?
For a Cosmere reading order, The 17th Shard, dubbed The Official Brandon Sanderson Fansite, has this enlightening thread kickstarted by user Thaidakar the Ghostblood. The initial post is fantastic, but the subsequent replies and conversation provide valuable context for the uninitiated.
On The Quill To Live, Cole Rush outlines his preferred Cosmere reading order with a few (what he calls) wildcards, standalone novels, that you could slide in anywhere.
As Alice Grace writes on OwlCrate.com, “There is no one right reading order when reading books or series by Brandon Sanderson.” She shines the light on a few different entry points into the overall Brandon Sanderson universe.

*I really wanted to put "ultimate", but as you can see, this page is not quite ultimate in its current state. It's decent. But words mean things. They have to. My goal for this page is to provide THE ULTIMATE guide to curating your preferred reading order for Brandon Sanderson books. So while I work on that, I have supplied links to some incredibly detailed, useful videos, blog posts, and forum threads created by the man himself or Sander-fans from around the web. Once you have your desired order down, you can return home to build and export your list.
