Just finished Warbreaker. Really good. I enjoyed it a lot more than Elantris. Also realizing that Vasher is Zahel and that Vivenna is Azure was absolutely was a treat. Once I reread Stormlight it will be nice to have their backgrounds and more character to them. It does make me wonder how much time there is between all the books. I've figured out mostly the timeline for Mistborn vs Stormlight. But books like Elantris and Warbreaker could be way before those books. Is there an official timeline or something fan made even?

Just finished Elantris. I loved the characters and world. I have a question about the powers, ect. Since it's in the Cosmere I assume there is at least one shard (probably two) on the planet. They aren't mentioned in the book at all. I assume the pond was a Perpendicularity. Do some or any of the Secret Projects or Arcanum talk more on this? Thanks in advance. For reference I've read Stormlight, Mistborn and just started Warbreaker.

I see a lot of hate or dislike of Shallan in some groups I'm in. I don't really understand it. I absolutely love her as a character and her development. Can someone who dislikes her please explain where the dislike comes from? I am genuinely curious if people find her abrasive or boring or whatever. Also not trying to start any arguments, just curious.
