Books 1 through 4 of the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson are currently available at the Kindle store for $2.99 each. Looks like Kobo is the same which means other stores likely have this too.

I got the first for free from tor.com years ago, and finally put it on my "to read" list for next year. I have no idea if I'll like it enough to read the rest, but this sale is tempting. Should I buy these?

If you have read and enjoyed his other books, Mistborn in particular, or the Wheel of Time books he wrote, I would highly recommend them. I think they are excellent personally. These are the flagship books for his Cosmere universe and the overall lore is very intricate and connected between a lot of his stuff. Not everyone likes that. You do not need to have read everything to be able to understand these, but there are some nice easter eggs and connections that show up if you have read other books. |

Thanks for replying! There was a period where I read a fair amount of Salvatore's Drizzt books (and I've played a fair amount of Dungeons and Dragons). I also read A Song of Ice and Fire, although clearly that isn't the same fantasy as this stuff. A friend of mine bought me Gardens of the Moon, but I have yet to read that too!
Recently I decided I should finally get back to fantasy, so that's why I picked up Dragonbone Chair (hearing it was an influence on Ice and Fire), and devoured it fast. I'm in the middle of the next one of that series. Anyway, even though I know things like that, plus Tolkien, are all "classic" fantasy, and people like Sanderson and Erikson are doing something else altogether different. I doubt the complexity is something I'll have an issue with; it's just whether I'll personally like Sanderson's "style" enough to keep going. |

Yes. Buy from Kobo for full size graphics. They are very highly rated.

All of the interior art is available on Sanderson's website. So, everyone has access to decent quality graphics. https://www.brandonsanderson.com/pag...archive-series

I'm not saying it's new - just that it was never offered before by Solaris
![]() I think I skipped/missed that Storybundle, and now I can't find which one it was in. Can you pick it from the list here? https://storybundle.com/news |

It's a lot easier to buy the ePub and convert that if you have a Kindle. That way you do get the correct size graphics. |

Can anyone give some info on Neal Schusterman's work? I've never heard of him.
