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...
