Cosmere Reading Order According to Brandon Sanderson

I just got Mistborn: The Final Empire from the library, so I did my research on the Cosmere reading order. Brandon Sanderson has a YouTube video (which I've included at the end of this article) that explains his recommended reading order. I decided to put it in picture format because that's easier for me to keep track of.

Start off with the original Mistborn trilogy

Then read a couple of the stand-alones

Ease into The Stormlight Archives with The Way of Kings

Finish off Mistborn with the Wax and Wayne Cycle

Add in a couple more stand-alones

Finish of the Stormlight Archives (but add in a couple more books to the order)

Finally, read Sanderson's latest book in the Cosmere.

You can add in the novellas included in Arcanum Unbounded anywhere in the mix

•  It includes nine novellas
• The Emperor's Soul (an Elantris novella)
• The Hope of Elantris (an Elantris novella)
• The Eleventh Metal (a Mistborn novella)
• Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania (a Wax & Wayne novella)
• Mistborn: Secret History (a Mistborn Novella)
• White Sand
• Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell
• Sixth of the Dusk
• Edgedancer (a Stormlight Archives novella [included earlier in the reading order])

Let me know where you are in your Cosmere reading adventure! I'm so excited to start!
