On first read in 2027: 4.25 stars overall! Individual story ratings and rankings are as follows:
The Selish System (Elantris)
The Emperor's Soul: 5 stars. Third favorite. The magic in this one was so, so lovely.
The Hope of Elantris: 3.5 stars. Sixth favorite. This one was really sweet, but also pretty corny and a little contrived (in my opinion).
The Scadrian System (Mistborn)
The Eleventh Metal: 3 stars. Ninth and least favorite. This was fine, but I didn't really care about it for some reason.
Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Episodes Twenty-Eight through Thirty: 3.5 stars. Eighth favorite. This was funny in parts (mainly Handerwym's commentary), but that was about it.
Mistborn: Secret History: 5 stars. Second favorite. I loved getting to see Kelsier in the Cognitive Realm! I need to do a Mistborn reread sometime and see what I pick up the second time around.
The Taldain System (White Sand)
White Sand: 3.5 stars. Seventh favorite. I'll be interested in actually reading the graphic novel, as the excerpt felt super short (and I'm not initially a fan of the art style). However, I really enjoyed the excerpt from the unpublished novel he wrote nearly twenty years ago.
The Threnodite System
Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell: 4.5 stars. Fifth favorite. Threnody is thoroughly creepy, and the inspiration for the shades was so interesting.
The Drominad System
Sixth of the Dusk: 5 stars. Fourth favorite. I reaaaally want to see more from Drominad.
The Rosharan System (Stormlight)
Edgedancer: 5 stars. My favorite of this collection. I love Lift and Wyndle! The nahel bond is wonderful.
2022 reread:
Overall rating: 4 stars
Notes from Khriss + postscripts: 5 stars

The Hope of Elantris: 3.5 stars
The Eleventh Metal: 3 stars
Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania: 3.25 stars
Mistborn: Secret History: 4.75 stars
White Sand: Did not reread or include in new rating since I've read the completed series (it felt weird to think of just rereading a segment of one volume and rating that)
