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?

The Alloy of Law

I am a wheel of time fan, and I am currently reading book 8 of the wheel of time series. I really enjoy the world of wheel of time, but recently, I discovered that the original author of the wheel of time series had passed away, and that this guy, Brandon sanderson is taking over his job. I...

Hello, I am looking for a fantasy to read, but I cannot choose between these two authors because I've never read anything from them and I don't know their styles at all. I am actually looking for a high fantasy, with magic, dragons, etc, with complex and interesting characters, without so...

Having just finished WoT, Towers of Midnight all I can say is wow. This guy has totally rejuvinated The Wheel of Time. Having spent the last 13 or so years reading WoT my feeling (like many others) was that I was now just reading the books to get to the end because I'd dedicated so long to...

Hi All, I was looking for the Brandon Sanderson thread under "Authors" and realised he doesn't have his own thread. Does anyone else agree that he deserves his own now? I'd say so as I think he's proving to be a more than competent author and seems to be producing quality novels out on a...

Hi all, Thought I'd just drop you all a note as I've just finished reading part 1 of Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy: The Final Empire. Have to say it wasn't what I expected but it was absolutely amazing. I couldn't put it down last night and had to finish it - even though it meant I was still...

An assassin in white murders the King of Alethkar, an act commissioned by the enigmatic Parshendi tribesmen of the east. In response the Alethi armies meet those of the Parshendi in battle on the Shattered Plains, a vast landscape of plateaus separated by dark chasms. Progress is slow and...

As per my usual bad habit of making threads about series I just finish, here I am. I don't know about anyone else, but when I finish a series half my mind is still usually on it for a little while making it hard to start the next book or series. The Mistborn trilogy was a great series. There's...

Book 1: The Final Empire

With all the attention he is getting lately I thought I'd finally read one of his books. Though I had planned on doing this before the next Wheel of Time book came out. Since Warbreaker just came out and it sounded pretty interesting I decided I'd check that out. I very much enjoyed it. The...

Seems to be a lucrative week for SF&F writers :) Sanderson has signed a new deal with Tor Books for the first four novels in The Way of Kings series, a planned ten-book saga. Sanderson wrote the first novel some time ago and is moving back and forth between revising this and writing The Wheel...
