Recs if you like Isles of the Emberdark...

gotta catch 'em all! fantasy books that feature a collection/array of different fantastical creatures, whether they just exist in the world surrounding the characters, are the main characters, or are the main focus of the story!

There are a lot of suggested Cosmere Reading orders, but I really wanted to read in the order that Sanderson himself suggested. He has a video he released on YouTube with a suggested reading order for his books, so I put together a list that reflects what he posted in that video. The short stories that aren't tied to any particular series are sprinkled in between some of the larger reads like the Stormlight Books. If you have suggestions on how to order said short stories, i'm open to move them around, but please be kind and understand that this entire thing is going to be subjective. Even Sanderson's video was loose in its suggestions, like he didn't want to dictate what his readers pick up. That said, here's the list!

So far these men: can write women characters with depth, don’t enact needless sexual violence on their characters, and aren’t irl monsters. Also their writing is good.
