    Personally I loved it but if you’ve finished 2 of them and it’s not resonating with you I won’t push you to read something you’re not enjoying.

    I will say that I listened to them and maybe an audiobook will be more enjoyable.

    But if you want to try something else in the Cosmere with a different flavor you could try one of these and not have any huge spoilers to the overall story (kind of like watching Ant-man or Black panther in the cinematic universe before any of the other films.)

    Tress of the Emerald Sea (more adventure/fantasy, less magical heist and the consequences of that)

    Warbreaker (more of a mystery/intrigue)

    Yumi and the Nightmare painter (not sure how to describe it but people from 2 different worlds experiencing the other and learning to work with and support the others challenges, etc). This way you can see if it might just be the Mistborn era 1 books or maybe he’s not your cup of tea. I will say that Era 2 is (like I mentioned) very different in tone, etc. same world but centuries later.

    If you don’t mind me asking what kind, if any, of fantasy books do you like?

        If you like Sazed there’s some interesting twists coming for him.

        For Vin you come to realize she’s less of a hero and more a pawn in various groups using her winning the genetic lottery.

        Now… if you like characters that struggle with trauma. Way of Kings has a very troubled protagonist.

        But yeah. As for sci-fi (especially ones that can span years) you might like Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space series.

        Any good sci-fi suggestions?
