NerdSandwich she/her Posted October 17, 2025 Posted October 17, 2025 I will admit I opened some WaT spoilers before I started reading it.

People have different priorities. Sanderson addicts tend to be a lot more philosophical about life, but a lot of people don’t care much about things that are hard for them. And people don’t respond well when you repeatedly tell them there’s something they “have to do”. @oragne Here are my opinions on Brandon Sanderson. The stories (the plots of the books, specifically) are amazing. The characters are easy to empathize with and understand, the magic systems are both intuitive and downright epic, and the books never get boring or dull. Confession: I never finished Lord of the Rings. Maybe I was reading with too low comprehension, but 11% of the way through the 3-in-1 omnibus I have, I stopped. It felt like I was reading through honey. The characters were doing stuff, but there was no real emotion in the scene, which made it hard for me to imagine and read through. That has never happened to me with Sanderson. The books are never dull, the characters are realistic, and there’s always some kind of action going on. If you chose to start reading a lot of Brandon Sanderson, it will not be like reading literature, but like a normal, if high-quality, fiction book. Last of all, the morals. Brandon is the only author I’ve ever read who can both write well and spin a good moral. Reading Brandon’s books will have you reconsidering everything you thought you knew about life, then building it from the ground up. You feel like you can tackle life better. The magic systems are both logical and intuitive, but with enough layers and questions unanswered that the only ones to know all the ins and outs of the systems are Brandon and his inner circle. If you choose to go the path of the arcanist, you’ll find swarms (flocks? Cults? Idk) of people willing to talk for hours about fantasy worlds with you. The people here on the Shard are just generally amazing. There are entire sub-communities devoted to Forum Mafia, or Role-playing games, or a dozen other things. The moderators are active and fair, and nearly all the people I’ve met here are kind and understanding. You will find solace here if you ever need it.

Nedd became his favourite character simply from a scene where Spensa beat up Jorgen and Nedd's like, "Can you teach me, Spin? In case a Krell jumps me in an alley?" Or something like that.

Probably the rest of Cytoverse Depending on what he's feeling like, the next step would be Cosmere or something in a completely different genre and style. Something like The Partner by John Grisham.
