I need to look more into Sanderson's stuff, because the first of his books I cracked open seemed like it was written for an 8 year old. His narrative style is not something I enjoyed. I'm sure he meant it to be whimsical, but to me it just felt jarring and a detraction from the story.
- wiredfool 3y agoA good chunk of Sanderson is explicitly targeting YA or earlier.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoFWIW, I also had the perception of his writing being more on the YA side, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Stormlight books (although I haven't read all of them yet). It's definitely not full-on Grimdark (for me that's a good thing), but still felt very mature. I don't think Sandersons sensibilities will ever let him write a sex scene or dialog with English profanity, but that doesn't bother me.
