The rule and policing from the United States Government has collapsed like a deck of cards. They no longer have the luxuries and things they took for granted is no long gone. Life is drastically altered for the average human being. Their rule is absolute, and it’s done with an iron fist. They use their powers for bad…they use it to control and manipulate. They have superpowers, there is no rhyme or reason to the who or the why, but these epics are not the heroes the world is expecting. It has in its wake created Epics, an evolved human if you will. Why on earth has it taken me so long to read Brandon Sanderson’s work?Ĭalamity has visited the earth and brought with its cataclysmic effects. He is the master of foreshadowing, a breaker of wills and the puppet master of emotion. Brandon Sanderson had my heart beating at a staccato rhythm and my imagination on red alert. It’s usually within pages that I will be able to determine whether a novel is going to submerge me within its world, whether I mould between its pages…I was a goner by page two. It’s been a while since a Fantasy novel has truly engrossed me, but Brandon Sanderson is a magician amongst mere mortals.

If you're already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart, The Emperor's Soul, and Alcatraz vs. Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. These include the Legion series, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. Many of my adult readers enjoy all of those books as well, and many of my YA readers enjoy my adult books, usually starting with Mistborn.Īdditionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side.

For young readers I also have my humorous series Alcatraz vs. I also have three YA series: The Rithmatist (currently at one book), The Reckoners (a trilogy beginning with Steelheart), and Skyward.
If you've read all of my adult fantasy novels and want to see some behind-the-scenes information, that collection is a must-read. In November 2016 all of the existing Cosmere short fiction including those novellas was released in one volume called Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. This includes The Stormlight Archive, both Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, and various novellas available on Amazon, including The Emperor's Soul, which won a Hugo Award in 2013. Most readers have noticed that my adult fantasy novels are in a connected universe, called the Cosmere. Also out that year was the final volume of the Stephen Leeds saga, Legion: Lies of the Beholder, which was also published in an omnibus edition, Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, that includes all three volumes. The follow-up, Starsight, was released December 2019. November 2018 marked the release of Skyward, the first book in a new YA quartet about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world under alien attack. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it's the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be.
