lol, previous posts that were removed drifted away from what I wanted to say. Just wanted to say that it’s fun to talk about Mistborn with someone who is reading their first Sanderson Cosmere novel

I’ve already backed the all in option on KS 
His kickstarter has become the #1 funded of all time. Raised just over $20M. Crazy!
I did the $60 option on kickstarter. Going in blind as well, not looking at any of the updates
I did the all in and I’m planning to go in blind as well. I would have just done the ebook tier, but this is the first (maybe second) kickstarter my wife has been excited about too, and we spend way more money when we’re both excited

Not sure how closely you guys have been following this, but Sanderson and his team backed pretty much everything in the publishing category, as a way to say thank you.

I really enjoyed the book that came out in January (still waiting for my physical copy), and am excited for the book that’s coming out in a couple of weeks. The boxes in between have been ok, with some fun small trinkets.

Sanderson has now written his own essay, and it is a really interesting read:
