I read Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project 3 and... (Yumi and the Nightpainter Spoiler Free thoughts) 

Completely agree! I found the same thing. It has a lot of elements that I don’t normally care for but loved them with this

It’s very different from Tress and well worth a try! Yesssss I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

The anime style storytelling was great fun and very different for Sando! The art. Yes. It was stunning!

Yeah it’s tough to keep up with how quick that man can write haha

It’s such a great read!

You can but I think you would get more from Yumi if you read Stormlight first!

Read this after Stormlight Archive book 4 or it might not make sense. The story is being told to people who are clearly Rosharans.

I wouldn’t say it spoils anything because it’s all out of context but I do think it’s worth reading Stormlight first

@@the_fools_tale I’d argue (SPOILERS FOR STORMLIGHT 2-4) 1) First, it spoils that Hoid bonds a spren. I’ve seen people say it’s not clear, it’s very very clear that Design is a spren and that Hoid bonded to her. This is a development in Oathbringer, so that’s a spoiler. 2) Design says she can turn into a sword. It is not revealed until the end of WoR that Shardblades are actually spren, which means that’s a spoiler. 3) Hoid said “remember when I got my memory stolen?” That is (I believe) a straight up reference to the end of Rhythm of War when Odium messed with Hoid’s mind. First, that’s a spoiler and reveals Hoid got his memory messed with before people are supposed to actually see that happen if they haven’t read RoW yet. Second, it was never actually confirmed whether Hoid was tricking Odium into believing he got his memory stolen, there was a theory that he actually tricked Odium into believing he actually got beat. Now Brandon basically confirmed it, and I’d say that’s a spoiler. These thing’s definitely aren’t big spoilers, and it would be a bit difficult to get the last one without actually reading RoW, but in my eyes they are spoilers and introduce plot and worldbuilding points that one should get by reading them in Stormlight.

Yeah I see the argument for it but I don’t see anyone making these connections. I’m not convinced readers who have only read Way of Kings will pick up on point 1&2. Especially when point one isn’t stated. And the third point is one sentence that could reference anything, given who said it. It’s too obscure and specific to spoil anything in my opinion

@@the_fools_tale I see what you are saying, but personally I would rather just read Stormlight and get the reveals like they are supposed to be revealed rather than take a chance of getting them in a offhand comment in SP3, but that’s just me.

I do agree that reading Stormlight first is the better choice though
