Summary

Epic fantasy writer and New York Times best seller Brandon Sanderson joined us in the Audible Studios to discuss Oathbringer, the third book in his Stormlight Archive, and he revealed his process for getting his books just right. Brandon also spoke about how others can sometimes discover that they're writing in the wrong genre and told us about the books he has unpublished.

Known for his thrilling imagination, immensely prolific writing and, of course, the creation of the Cosmere universe, in which all of his books are connected, Brandon Sanderson is a force to be reckoned with in the world of fantasy. With Oathbringer we get a return to a planet swept by apocalyptic storms and a world tipping into war as aristocratic families move to control ancient artefacts from a past civilisation that can win wars.

Listen to Oathbringer here.

I like his books. One of the longest out there.

I like his books. One of the longest out there but worth listening on audible. I owned a paperback of his book Way of kings. Took me months to finish. Oathbringer hopefully is as good as I expects.

Decent interview, wish it was longer

They could use some extra length to discuss e.g. Sanderson's other past works, his writing process, his inspirations, etc.

Standard interview but from an interesting guy

Got to love Brandon if you love fantasy. The guy is not only a wonderful and prolific author but seems like a true gentleman and is very open, friendly and helpful. He gives great incite. Wish this was longer. Couldn't give it more than three as it's just a short interview.
