I miss my first dive into Cosmere

There are many works of fiction I wish I could erase from memory and discover again. Cosmere, however, is at the top of the list, no doubt. I remember the first time I read The Way of Kings. I was constantly baffled. What the hell are spen? Who is Odium and why does he reign? Who is Tanavast and why is Kaladin his son? Why safe hand? Why the storm? The death rattles?! I was really proud for finding out humans are Voidbringers before it was officially revealed, and when it was, I was blown away.

I loved every second of it. At the same time, it makes me genuinely sad that most of the questions have already been answered. Sure, we still don't know many particularities about the various Shards and especially about Adonalsium. But do you remember the times when we didn't even know that there are Shards? I mean at the very beginning, even investiture was a mystery.

I have no doubt the future of the Cosmere will still be a wild ride. There is always another secret. Yet, the time of childish bewilderment is gone. Call me sentimental, but I miss the old days.
