I hadn't heard of Brandon Sanderson until I went to a book store in Provo, Utah. He is a very much a big deal there and had two complete bookshelves dedicated to his work. He went to BYU so there is a local connection, but it caught me by surprise because I wasn't aware of his popularity.

You should check out the Stormlight Archive. It's really good.

The headline here spills the beans but it's definitely worth watching his announcement video "It's time to come clean" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a-k6eaT-jQ

I was certain he is announcing he's working with a team of ghost writers given his extraordinary writing speed.

He's a big deal outside of Utah too.

I saw the update video yesterday and he mentioned the video scheduled for today. I hoped it wouldn't be a hiatus or a we can't finish Stormlight.

It was handled well.

And given how bad some of the later books like Alloy of Law are compared to the original misborn? Some of the b reel books are terrible.

This funding amount is insane. Also, bypassing publishers (which I'm assuming what is happening) is quite clever too.

A friend suggested I buy the entire Mistborn series as one ebook. That worked for me.
