I just started reading The Gathering Storm by Brandon Sanderson, book twelve of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. I've never read any Sanderson before, so it'll be interesting to see the tonal differences in writing.
Very nice, I just started 10 and I'm excited to see how the books change when Sanderson picks up the reins. I have loved the series so far though, but I read almost all of Sanderson before even starting The Wheel of Time.
Oooh, interesting. That was my first introduction to Sanderson too. Would love to hear what you think about it.
The most major change will be how quickly everything moves when Sanderson writes, he has a tempo well suited for the general audience while Jordon can meander - poorly at times.
Same as OP, that’s where I was introduced to Sanderson. I went on to read pretty much everything he’s written. 😅
This was me year before last, and then last year was basically a Sanderson deep dive. I love both Jordan and Sanderson. Wheel of Time is my comfort food.
