I had some piling up from years. o:)<br /><br />Yeah I have the same philosophy but since I will have to buy or borrow them, I will probably go with published order. :)<br /><br />:)<br /><br />If my faulty memory is working well, I remember reading Sanderson's announcement that Mistborn series will be compiled of 3 trilogies. Second trilogy should be in urban/modern setting and the third in futuristic setting. I am not sure if The Alloy of Law is part of second trilogy or an unplanned standalone in series with a western setting. That's why I said there should be at least 5 more. :DDragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-27894037911205378372013-05-17T16:37:48.050-04:002013-05-17T16:37:48.050-04:00Ooh, I have a signed copy of Warbreaker.

He went into chit chatting with those online waiting to get a book signed.

I am a huge fan of epic fantasies, but I haven't heard of Brandon Sanderson before. This sounds awesome though. I generally don't mind being thrust into worlds with complicated world-building, but that is definitely a nice perk that this novel helps readers adjust to this world perhaps a bit more gradually than most. Ah I am so excited to have learned about this book. I'll definitely be reading this soon!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-26460927401386843442013-05-15T12:35:17.395-04:002013-05-15T12:35:17.395-04:00It does not matter, that only shows how good it is...It does not matter, that only shows how good it is if you recommend me the same book in two different conversations. :D <br />I think I will go with published order, it feels more natural to me. And I know what you mean about having no time to read books. There are so many, why can't I just download them to my brain? LOL<br /><br />Elend was one of my favorites in this series too. :)<br /><br />If I remember correctly there should be at least 5 more books in series so a lot more things to look forward to. :)<br /><br />Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it. Now I have to think hard about my next Sadie Hawkins entry for you. :DDragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-57869173188397021512013-05-14T09:02:30.037-04:002013-05-14T09:02:30.037-04:00Oh, haha!

Ok ok I got it. :D I am not sure where to start. 'The Innocent Mage' is first book in Kingmaker, Kingbreaker series and 'A Blight of Mages' is a prequel but it's written later. What is correct reading order book #1, book #2 , prequel or prequel, book#1, book #2?<br /><br />Yes Elend was definitely a great hero. And I like very much how Sanderson developed his character, but I will say no more, you will have to read and find out. ;)<br /><br />The Alloy of Law has a slightly open ending, so I would recommend waiting for book #5 because I am not sure if it will be the sequel or the separate book set in the same world.<br /><br />I'm always glad when I hear that people found new books to swoon over and it's even better feeling when I helped them. I hope you enjoy the rest of the trilogy the same as the first part. I sure did. :)Dragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-15886567380116473652013-05-13T16:00:03.984-04:002013-05-13T16:00:03.984-04:00Oh, I do love fantasy reads, though I don't kn...Oh, I do love fantasy reads, though I don't know if I can say I love fantasy as much as you.
