This book raises so many Cosmere questions: The Cinder King refers to Roshar as "a world where men become gods" gods PLURAL, as in not just x becoming y in the last book? Are Roshar and Scadrial future rival interstellar superpowers (mistborn space rangers vs knight radiant starship troopers? YES, PLEASE!)? Why is Hoid messing around with a dawnshard? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

What's kind of crazy is that this is the only one of the four "Year of Sanderson" books that I've read in physical book format; all the others I couldn't wait and read the ebook

ish, "Khriss's laws of investiture" add White Sands to the Cosmere references list

So far this book has connections to Mistborn, Warbreaker (mostly the fact that investiture is measured in Breath-Equivalent Units) Shadows of Silence in the Forests of Hell, and LOTS of connections to Stormlight Archive (KALADIN REFERENCE!). Oh, and Wit finally made an appearance. Basically, if you're going to recommend one book for people new to Sanderson to read, DON'T RECOMMEND THIS ONE, they'd be very VERY lost.

Finally remembered to check my page count!

I'm actually a bit beyond this, something like page 50-60, but I keep forgetting to check the page number

Wow, if you've never read any Cosmere novels the first couple chapters of this book would be VERY confusing. Chock full of references and jargon (also, nice to have a protagonist from Roshar, my favorite of Brandon's many worlds)
