I really don’t understand why he’s so popular. The ideas are interesting but the delivery is bland, the characters are both formulaic and repetitive across the books, and the plot is always resolved at the last minute by some sort of deus ex machina development that blindsides everybody.
I also don’t get it. I find his writing style to be boring, and feel undeveloped, especially since I started as a child reading the classics. Maybe if he was my intro to books I’d feel differently. Same situation with JK Rowling as well, I just don’t get what everyone sees in her books compared to other fantasy novels.
I think he’s like the Marvel movies of fantasy books and popular for the same reasons; they’re easy, fun and have solid albeit mostly unspectacular action sequences.
Sanderson is the most overrated author of our time. Far too many people confuse volume with quality.
