About Cosmere Casual

The Casual Readers' guide for the Cosmere-curious! New episodes published every other Tuesday, with extra episodes on off weeks if we can. The Cosmere is the shared universe for many of Brandon Sanderson's popular fantasy and sci-fi books, like Mistborn and the Stormlight Archive. We discuss Easter Eggs, callbacks, inter-series crossovers, and commentary on the the books. This is for folks who are NOT already superfans of the series - we explain and add context to the series, so you can make all the connections without re-reading, cross-referencing, or missing out.
