    Finished the 2nd Mistborn book today. Pretty good, but I’m not dying to continue. Should I?

      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?
