Sanderson, who published a video in recent months about something he felt obliged to explain to his fans and made everyone worried, finally sprinkled water on everyone’s hearts by announcing that he had written 5 more books in his spare time, and by removing $ 41 million from the Kickstarter campaign he opened for these books, he broke records and made his name known even to the masses who had nothing to do with fantastic literature.

So who is this Brandon Sanderson? According to some, he is a “magic system man” who develops very different and highly creative magic systems in each world and pays great attention to their details, and according to some, he is a writing machine that produces two books a year or a man who brings the Time Wheel series to a conclusion. But I think the most important thing about Brandon Sanderson is that he’s a “nerd” like you, like me. When Robert Jordan’s wife calls to propose to finish the Wheel of Time series, he can’t speak out of excitement, we watch the video in which he talks about his favorite 10 games as “hehe”, he even offers to give CDProjekt the license rights of Sissoylu for free so that they can make a nice game, he laments that the writers are treated as unemployed, as if he is not a writer who earns millions of dollars, but a sincere person from the neighborhood who we can call Brandon Abi.

Sanderson, who stepped into fantasy literature when he was a child who did not like to read at first, noticed that his teacher had slammed the book summaries from right to left and had him choose a book from his own library, and took the greatest momentum on the way to writing with the Science Fiction and Fantastic Literature Writing course he took at university. Güzel says that he has written 8 books by the time he took that class, so I can no longer find anything to say to him. Ok there are most of the books that are untouched by the editor and in raw form, probably not at all suitable for publication, but 8 books? After he managed to publish Elantris, his 6th book, which he wrote in this way, he achieved the real popularity with the Sissoylu (Mistborn) series, which he wrote as a crispy snack because he was stuck in the Stormlight Archive, which was his main pupil, and I met him through this series.

Don’t think he’s writing blankly because he writes a lot; Although it is a very simple narrative style, you cannot see the clues throughout the books even though it throws clues in front of you, when the events are resolved, a “Laaan!! ” pulls and creates exquisite works where you scramble through old pages. Who knows how many pages he secretly wrote while I was writing these lines… Oh Brandon, oh, don’t do that! You’re going to take the hell out of the George Martins, the Patrick Rothfuss, we’re afraid something is going to happen to you!

The Wheel of Time: If he did it, Brandon would do it!

When he was still a young writer, Brandon Sanderson was surprised by a phone call from Robert Jordan’s wife, Harriet McDougal, and an offer to end the Wheel of Time series he was a fan of.

Harriet researched Brandon on the advice of a friend, and after reading Sissoylu’s heads, he grabbed the phone saying, “If he did, this kid would do it!” Brandon, on the other hand, said, “If someone else did it, it would ruin it, I’m a big fan of the series; then I’ll do it,” and Robert Jordan’s giant work The Wheel of Time got its last books. To be honest, I liked this handover very much.

For those who are curious about the whole story, Brandon and Harriet long and long.

What is this Cosmere?!

Elantris, Sissoylu, Stormlight and many other Sanderson works with completely different systems are actually set in the same universe: in the Cosmere universe. The clues to this concept of the universe, which is mostly mentioned in the Stormlight series, are actually interspersed with other books and, of course, theories take their heads. So when you’re talking about one series, you can eat spoilers from the other, so watch out.
