Zierham posted:As someone who actually enjoys Sanderson's stuff, I can't help but agree. The magic here is the literal inverse of Sanderson's style/method. Yeah, there's the magic, but also style-wise he is a real bad fit, loving as he does the easiest and clearest possible sentence to get across what's going on. Plus, he cannot write a joke to save his life. Also he is a full-blown mormon who tithes to the church so his relationship with religion is... not one that shares the introspection that this series has. And his character relationship-writing is pretty thin at best. He would finish the plot, but the plot isn't why I like these books. Don't get me wrong, plot is important and I want to see what happens, but the reason I care about what happens isn't the plot. If that makes sense.

Zierham posted:Oh, sorry - to clarify by "the magic", I meant what is great about the books.. not the actual magic system! Like you said, Strange Cares, the best part about these books is the polar opposite of what I enjoy about Sanderson's stuff, so him doing it just couldn't work well. Oh that makes sense. My b, didn't mean to go off on you there.
