I've never been much of an audiobook person, switching back and forth between physical copies and e-books depending on the situation. However on a recent road trip my wife and I started listening to Mistborn on Audible together.

We're now a few chapters into Well of Ascension and I have to say it's been an amazing experience, and has really enhanced things for both of us.

It's fascinating getting to hear real time takes on different characters and scenes, as well as theory crafting. Some not very accurate, some right on the nose. We're currently on chapter five of WoA and...

Hero of Ages spoilersafter a second recounting of Vin's mother killing her sister and piercing Vin's ear, she wondered aloud if that might have something to do with how much more powerful than a normal mistborn Vin seems to be.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with listening to the Audiobooks with someone? The biggest issue we've encountered is finding ways to break up sessions when getting close to the end of the book, even listening on 1.2x speed the Sanderlanche of The Final Empire is still 4-6 hours long.

I wasn't able to find an existing community for Cosmere fans on Lemmy yet, so figured I'd get one spun up.

For now I dropped some basic spoiler guidelines in the sidebar, namely to tag posts with the book being discussed, and tag any comments discussing spoilers outside the book stated in the title.

If the community winds up growing we can spin it out to more dedicated communities such as Mistborn, Stormlight, etc. But for now everything can just be lumped together here!
