Hi All, First thread here and I'm really interested in other peoples perceptions on the change of writing after the Robert Jordan passed away and his torch was passed to Brandon Sanderson. Did you keenly feel the change? Were you upset at the change of style or did you not notice? I thought it...

Hi everyone, Has anyone else here watched the Brandon Sanderson Creative Writing lectures on youtube? BYU has 2014's up and writeaboutdragons has 2012 and 2013. It would be interesting to compare notes with others who've studied them.

I haven't tried any of Sanderon's fantasy as yet - any suggestions as to which one would give a best sample of his best writing? :) Ideally, the first book in one of his series. :)

Of all the sanderson's books you read, which is your favourite?

I just saw a post from Brandon saying The Rithmatist was 1.39 on the Kindle in the UK today. I have read this book and it was one of the most original magic systems I've read. It's a YA and the plot was strong and it's a really cool story. Check it out!

Books that are written for all ages, is how Sanderson has described his Alcatraz novels, and you can see that as you read. The language is straight forward, not to taxing and easy to read, with various parts of the story toned down to make them suitable for the younger readers, while at the same...

I've been reading some of Sanderson's books for younger audiences; Alcatraz, which is middle grade, and Steelheart and The Rhythmatist which are YA, and was wondering if anyone else has read these. Alcatraz was fun, but I thought the other two were fantastic. For those who haven't read them...

The Stormlight Archive Book 2: Words of Radiance

So, the release date is here and gone. My copy is in transit to my house from Amazon. Any one else excited about this book? I am currently re-reading Way of Kings and loving it. I read too much to remember all the details of a massive book like that so I needed a refresh...glad I did...

24th August 2011 04:32 PM Kerry Butters Gollancz have announced a brand new Mistborn story from popular author Brandon Sanderson entitled The Alloy of Law. The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series...

I must admit to likeing the book emesley I found the charatures fun and the combination of weston guns and fansty "magic" very nice

Ok. I just finished this book. Love it. It was just what I was looking for. I hve actually never read a series before that wasn't almost done. So this is new, not being able to get the next one right away and keep going. I have mistborn though, is it as good? Ok. My questions. Kaladin is...

I rather enjoy the book elantris. Anyone of you have read it?

Brandon Sanderson has to be one of the busiest guys out there..check out the blog of his projects he is working on...wow that is a lot of writing on the table. Brandon Sanderson Blog: State of the Sanderson

Since there is no sub-forum for the young rising fantasy author, I would like to start a thread. You can say whatever you want: favorite book, why you like him, why you don't, other comments. Anything about Brandon Sanderson is on topic in this thread. I'm about to read his Way of Kings...

I have heard mixed reviews of this massive tome. Some think it's the best new thing yet while others think it's so so or even a waste of trees. Any comments from those who have read it? I notice Sanderson does not have his own forum yet as well. He has quite a bit of material now. Time for...

Was browsing posts on facebook earlier and came across a video posted by Brandon Sanderson where he recorded himself writing the first draft of a chapter from his WIP Stormlight Archive 2 novel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHlPczUmjrQ An interesting video to watch, kind of, if you have...

Seen good things said about Mistborn, so got the first book out of the library. So far, and not very far in, there have been repressed serfs, ash falling from the sky, inquisition types and there is about to be rape and murder. Not exactly cheery. Does it cheer up, is there a cheerier second...

I've recently started the Mistborn series About three thirds of the way through the third book. Very enjoyable, Vin has to be one of the best female characters I've come across. Is it just me or does Ruin bring Donaldson's Lord Foul Bane to mind?
