Hi guys! I'm from New Zealand the land of the long white cloud or as us Kiwis call it -- Aotearoa. I've enjoyed reading fantasy and science fantasy books for a long time but there came a point when I burned myself out on the genre. I've read epics ranging from classics like J. R. R. Tolkien and Isaac Asimov, to the funny Terry Pratchett and the punny Piers Anthony. I'm also a huge fan of the older generation of novelists in the genre such as David Drake, Eric Flint, L. E. Modesitt, C. J. Cherryh, David Eddings and the exceptional Weis & Hickman. And what list of great authors in the genre wouldn't be complete without Patrick Rothfuss, Robert Jordan, Feist, Brooks, Rowling, Gaiman or Salvatore?
When I picked up a Sanderson book, I thought I'd get more of the same except a little different. Boy, was I suprised.
And I continue to be. Not just with his stories which are fresh and structured in such consistent ways but also with his breakneck release schedule!
I've been reading a lot of speculation to tide me over until WoR finally releases. At times, while going through the forum, I felt like upvoting the members of this forum who continually speculate, theorize and hash out the details in Brandon's Universe for keeping me entertained and educated until the next book comes out. Since I have to be a member to best show that appreciation and gratitude, here I am.
