Cosmere: Time to Get Out My Conspiracy Diagrams

This week, friends of the podcast, Liv and AJ, join Lotti to discuss all things Cosmere! In this episode we discuss the following books and series: The Final Empire, Stormlight Archive (all four books), Warbreaker, Mistborn era 2, Secret History, Sixth of Dusk, Elantris, Mistborn Era 1... This is not a spoiler free episode. Please check timestamps below.

Things we chat about in this episode about include: Which is our favourite magic system in the series, what is our favourite magical world, why we love Sanderson’s writing, and most importantly, which world we think our darling cat would love to live in.

As always with Sanderson’s Books, Journey Before Destination matters quite a lot.
P.S. had a few audio issues at the start - apologies!
