This is among one of the truest things ever said.
It has impacted me on a spiritual level.
Before I read Brandon Sanderson, I had a very low vocabulary, I was slow of speaking and I wasn't really passionate about anything. My words still come slowly but I actually have words to use! And now, I actually like words. I think its fun learning new and interesting words. And the Cosmere has been a burning passion of mine ever since.
I remember Reckoners was the first Brando Sando I read, and upon finishing it, It made me cry. No other author has ever pulled such a raw emotion out of me before. I knew he was different. And a year-ish later I had read all of his books. Stormlight 4 made me cry the hardest though.
