Hail and well met

[gandalfgreyheme]

Hello, a Cosmere acolyte here all the way from India. Looking forward to trading theories, discussing favourite moments and sharing the wait for the next one the come.

Also, I never thought I'd say this for an author, but Brandon writes way too much. It's hard to keep up!

Journey before destination...

Welcome to the Shard! We’re glad to have you here. Who’s your favorite Sanderson character?

[Archer he/him]

Welcome! Yes, Brandon does write more than other authors. And better. And more witty. And funnier. And with better world building. And better magic. And more logical magic. And better characters. And better plot twists. And clever foreshadowing. And improved series progression. And he always seems to improve in the next book. And wiser quotes. And Wayne. And more relatably. And for a wider audience. And with the most flair. 

I really like Brandon Sanderson.

I'd go for TenSoon. I loved the character's transformation and the journey it took.

If I had to choose a 'core' character, I'd go for Vin. She's one of my favourite protagonists anywhere.

Also, I am quite fascinated by the element of 'breaking' all Sandorson characters have to go through to get their claim to magic. Unlike the standard fantasy trope of flinging an unsuspecting 'reader' character into adventure, there's a price to pay.

I think that this is something of an allegory to fantasy readership in general. You invest into the world and pay the price to experience such awesome moments!
