Non-Sanderson book talk and complaints about Sanderson's books...

[bedtime]

Am I allowed to talk about books other than Sanderson's? If so, which forum would be most appropriate.

Also, am I allowed to say what I don't like about a Sanderson book (i.e., having big issues with WaT)? After reading 700 pages, I've a lot to say about it, and it's not entirely positive.

Figured it would be better to ask here than to take the chance of getting a post shut down or look like a troll.

Thanks so much.

You want Entertainment Discussion for non-Brandon books, and says books in its description: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/forum/29-entertainment-discussion/

Lots of people had issues with Wind and Truth and so that wouldn't be unusual. Our Code of Conduct discusses the conduct we expect from people, and yeah, people are allowed to like or dislike what they wish.

Of course, you can imagine discussion on Brandon books to involve lots of fans here, which can bias who is talking. I guess what I'd say is you're absolutely allowed and encouraged to post unpopular opinions, and everyone does need to be respectful. But, others are also allowed to not agree with your opinion either. That doesn't mean anyone is talking in bad faith for disagreeing. For example if someone came onto the forums and said Way of Kings (a book very well received in general) sucked, that person should expect people to not necessarily agree, and that's okay. I have seen this where people with the unpopular opinion feel they are being dogpiled, when in reality it's just... Yeah, sometimes a lot of people like a thing that you don't.
