discorat she/her Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm so invested in all of Brandon Sandersons book all i do is recommend them to my friends/family. My parents probably know the entire plot to stormlight archive/mistborn/the reckoners and ive managed to make 2 of my friends read the way of kings, and many more of them have agreed to read his 'short' stories. I'm just wondering if anyone else is like this? I havent been able to make myself like any fantasy books, and since Brandon Sanderson was the first adult writer i read ive ditched ya fiction too. I even tried reading the name of the wind but never managed to finish it, not because it was badbad but the fact that it takes the author ages to write one book puts me off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I gave Final Empire to my dad. He didn´t like it much. Two of my friends like Mistborn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I got my honorary big sister and my (real) favourite aunt to get sanderson, and they both loved it. Unfortunately, they are not good enough to read it in english. Whenever I enter into a librry I llook if there is some translated sanderbook (did anyone ever used that word? I call dibs on it) for them. I also got one of my honorary cousins (son of my honorary big sister; I tend to give the title of honorary relative to my best friends) to read sanderson in english; his english is excellent, and I've seen him make casual conversation with foreigners, but reading in english tires him. I lended him shadows of self seven months ago, he still has 100 pages to go. Still, I hope to get him used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penumbra Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have a friend who read Stormlight Archive and didn't adore it. I have never been so confused in my life. I managed to make 1 other friend read 1 book of mistborn and another said she'd pick up Stormlight but I think the size of the book scared her. One friend got into mistborn half from my help and likes it, yay! But yeah I've since warned my friends not to bring up Sanderson/book suggestions because my eyes immediately light up and I'll relentlessly suggest the Cosmere to them. I get way too passionate about it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ he/him Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Same. Any time anyone asks for book suggestions now, I immideaitely bring up Sanderson. I got my little brother to read both eras of Mistborn and SotD, but I can't get him to read anything else sadly. I also got another one of my friends to read the first era of Mistborn.

You could try to make him read his short stories theyre so amazing and they take 4 hours max to read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
