#In what order should i read brandon sanderson books series
A year later in 2010, the author wrote another novel, The Way of Kings the first book in a planned ten-book series named The Stormlight Archive.
In 2009, The Hero of Ages, the final book in Mistborn trilogy was published while the second book in Alcatraz series was also issued later the same year. The sequel to The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension was published in 2007.īrandon Sanderson has written Children’s novel such as Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, which explains about a boy with unique talents who confronts evil librarians who want to rule the world. It was followed by The Final Empire the first book in Mistborn fantasy trilogy which introduces allomancers- people who have the ability to burn alloys and metals after ingesting them and can also allow control over supernatural forces and enhance senses. The couple lives in American Fork, Utah.Įlantris is Sanderson first novel published in 2005 by Tor Books and was subject to many positive reviews. Smoking/alcohol: Present, and not discouraged by the author.In 2006 Brandon Sanderson married Emily Bushman, a teacher and a fellow English Major who later became his business CEO.
If nothing bothered you in the Mistborn original trilogy, you’re probably OK. I would rate WoT’s disturbing scenes more disturbing than Brandon’s, though maybe not by a mile. If “worse than dead” scenarios (eternal screaming) or psychological torment (like being forced to do something really Bad, or being inside the head of a character who thoroughly enjoys very graphic violence) freaks you out excessively, consider yourself warned. Violence is also not promoted by RJ (any more than by Brandon, in my estimation), meaning that sympathetic characters do avoid violence wherever possible, sometimes even to endangering their mission, etc.ĭisturbing imagery: Very much present. Not maxed-out level graphic, but RJ was not shy here. Violence: Very frequent, and somewhat graphic. Swearwords: In-world swearing ftw! Exactly the same as in Brandon’s books I’d say. Robert Jordan explores in detail a world where women play a much more prominent leadership role than in our present “real world”. Indeed I would say that is a major theme of the series.
Gender politics: If you get easily offended by political correctness/ incorrectness, be aware there are a lot of gender politics in the Wheel of Time. There are a lot of unorthodox relationships too, so if “open relationships”, sharing women/men etc. bothers you, you have been warned. It really is the same level as Warbreaker, but with more (due to length of the series). Sexual content: Present, though most details are left to the imagination of the reader. There is a considerable amount of “chosen one”-driven plot too, so if you really don’t like that kind of story, you have been warned. Are there flaws if you psycho-analyze it? Sure, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. If you didn’t struggle with reading tWoK and enjoy the genre, you probably won’t mind the length of WoT. ”Will I enjoy it”: The biggest criticism for WoT is probably length. Re WoT warnings (I just barely read it, so listen up): That’s why I have been absent from 17thshard the last year and a half, lol. Just finished WoT and it is Awesome (not in the Edgedancing way but there is plenty of magic too).

Mods, if you think this is off topic, feel free to remove. I don’t agree with that personally, but others may have other feelings. I definitely see the argument that if he hasn’t released the 3rd book, why read the first two. I don’t see that as any reason to not read the books. I agree with you that his attitude is a problem. He’s a person too, and it’s unfair to him to say that he needs to release it now. There is an argument to be made that it is a testament to his success as an author that people still love his work as much as they do even though he has not released the last book. However, personally I find both the books amazing enough as they are to be worth reading, as long as you can handle partial cliffhangers. Oh, sure, I’d love to read it, and I’d buy it as soon as I could. And personally, I don’t feel the same longing to read the last one that others do. I’d rather read a completed book in 5 years than a so-so one now. I do believe he intends to release it, but I understand his reasons for not releasing it.
