I agree with you on "the well of ascension". It's my favorite by him as well. It's just so well crafted. And the first Mistborn era holds such a nostalgic place in my heart bc it's one of the first adult fantasy series I read.
Thank you for very much for your video. 2024 is my year of Sanderson. After finishing the WOT and New Spring last year I took a break and read Frugal Wizard. I now have read Elantris, The Hope of Elantris, The Empress’ Soul and have started White Sands. Enjoying the Cosmere ride. Serious question - Why don’t you have 50k+ subscribers. You are one of the best booktubers I follow. I wish you continued success.
Sanderson is one of those authors where I agree 100% with your opinions! Just nodding my head throughout the entire video 😂
I wonder if my unpopular stormlight opinions align with you as well lol
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance I already know Lift and Shallan are your favourite characters 🤭
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Just starting Well of Ascension. First time through the Cosmere after reading other fantasy and lots of Stephen King. Subscribed.
Mitsborn Era 1 is in my personal opinion amazing , an modern classic. I love almost everything about those books.
Yes I am also an Elantris apologist!
Oof the Tress slander...lol it's fine. This was a fun ranking though, so excited to continue rereading Stormlight throughout the year. It is so goooooodddd
Seeing Hero of Ages so low in your ranking was the hottest take for me, didn’t see that one coming. Love to see everyone’s rankings thank you for sharing
🎇 I'm about to read Well of Ascension for the first time, now I'm super excited!
Its for sure one that has grown on me over time. I feel like for some people they don't like the length/pacing on a first read but its just so perfect for a re-reader like me!
I honestly love seeing such a big Sanderson fan being so unapologetic about their unpopular opinions haha. I feel like we have very similar rankings, though I have yet to read The Lost Metal and the secret projects. Curious to see how this will change over time with more rereads, and I really hope Wind and Truth will be a true smash hit (though I am nervous lol) 😂🤩
Truly hope Wind of Truth lands!
I discovered Brandon Sanderson for me at the end of 2022 when I strarted reading all his Cosmere works in publication order. Finished Sunlit Man in December so 2023 was truly MY year of Sanderson. XD Anyway, I almost 100% agree with your ranking. (I am attached to Yumi for personal reasons and so it's much higher for me but I totally understand why it's not for you). I was also really happy to hear that Oathbringer is you least favourite Stormlight book (same) and Rhythm of war and Words of Radiance among the top favs (same). Especially, since it's the other way around for most Sanderson fans I know. But I guess having the same favourite character exlains it. :D And now I really want to start a reread. But I can't do this whole thing so soon again. That's so many pages! Although we will read Mistborn Era 1 with my bookclub this year which I'm really looking forward to.
I’m just getting into Sanderson this year! Just read Dandelion Dynasty based on your video recommendation and it was amazing. Can’t wait to dig into a new world. 🌌
Dandelion Dynasty is such an amazing series, I want to re-read it all the time
I’m with you on your top 4! 🌌🪐
Cosmere twins!
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance 👯
🌌Definitely a few steaming hot takes there 😅 but that's what makes this video great! I love when people are passionate and have their own opinions no matter what's popular 😁 Btw there are some scratchy audio a few times throughout the video. You can hear it clearly at about 7:24 🙂
I love Elantris too!
Truly still one of the bests!
Okay. I am dying to know who your favorite Stormlight character is. I’m doing a reread this year of books 1, 2, and 3. I want to read Rhythm of War in the fall so the details will be fresh for the release of book 5.
I meant to follow along with the Sanderson Reads but fell off in the beginning. I'm hoping to catch up and continue.🪐
I think its always important to go at your pace, I think as fun as it is cosmere burn out can be real!
✨
I’ve mostly stayed away from Sanderson, having only read Elantris, Skyfall and Shadows for Silence I loved Shadows for Silence and so I appreciate the recommendation of Sixth of the Dusk I might also read Warbreaker, Final Empire and Emperor’s Soul I’m staying away from Stormlight Archive due to the length
Sixth of the Dusk is a good read a like to Shadows for Silence so I hope you enjoy it! And all the ones you might try can read as standalones so it helps with not needing to commit to something as long as the cosmere and stormlight

I read Mistborn Secret History after Bands of Mourning but kind of wished I had read it after Era 1. Plus the thing was already spoiled for me by Rhythm of War, so it didn't think it was necessary to wait until after Bands of Mourning.
I do think if the thing is already spoiled then for sure after era 1 but I loved the reveal at the end of bands of mourning, which maybe would still hit already knowing secret history but it was a really fun reveal
@LiteratureScienceAlliance Yeah. My fault for keeping up with Stormlight but not reading Mistborn Era 2 until ages after its release, lol. That probably would have been a great reveal for me, too.
@@lindybjork2712 what’s fun is I caught the reveal in bands of mourning but missed it in stormlight 😅
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance To be honest, so did I. 😁 It was only watching Booktube that clued me in.
"i mean, these are all by brandon sanderson" LOL this made me giggle WAIT SO WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE STORMLIGHT CHARACTER- and who's the character you're talking about for rhythm of war 👀 every time i bang my knee or bump my hip i'm always like "i'm sure glad we don't live in elantris" 🤣
Fave Stormlight Character - Adolin, which is not a hot take but I know some people really dislike him lol and he isn't really a "main" character Least fave POV in Rhythm of War.... is.... Kaladin....
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance YESSSSS ADOLIN FAN CLUB 🤝🤝🤝 and LMAOOOO... tbh... i don't care that much for kaladin either 🤭🫣
@@christeascozycorner yay for safe places!!!
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance YES all the Adolin love!! He's my favorite character too but Oathbringer was actually such a disappointment to me when I realized that Sanderson doesn't feel the same way. Adolin deserves so much more page time than he gets.

I watched a video by readswithrachel about elantris being communist and now I feel like rereading LOL. You're also making me want to reread mistborn because it has been a while since I read them. Right now all the stormlight books top them for me but they are also the books ive most recently (re)read. Agree with Tress, enjoyed it but that's about it. Not cosmere related but have you read his alcatraz books?
Elantris is truly a world that asks "what if we use to have an unlimited supply of food and health care for everyone but suddenly it went away" but nobody talks about that part of it lol I have not read any of his middle grade, not sure if I ever will but I maybe read one middle grade a year if that

Truly so so good
