And I'm not trying to say that Sanderson writes better than Abercrombie or Martin or anyone else-just that he is in the same category of expert character writers, in my opinion. I'm going to attempt to explain why I think his characters are written very well, but also why a lot of readers complain that his characters don't feel as good as Abercrombie's for example. :)Īfter reading several series by Brandon Sanderson- Mistborn Era 1, Skyward, The Reckoners, The Stormlight Archive-as well as his standalones ( Elantris and Warbreaker), I am convinced that the way Sanderson writes his characters is actually really good and at the level of any expert, it's just also very different from the way a lot of authors approach writing their characters. I apologize in advance for this essay, but I do think it's worth a read.
