Additionally,Sanderson creates magic systemsthat actually make sense.
Brandon Sanderson has a remarkable knack for striking the right balance between hard magic systems and a character-driven approach.
His fantasy seriesMistbornandThe Stormlight Archiveare two of the most celebrated in the genre.
Sanderson is great at writing intrigue in such a way that the reader can engage via readertheories about establishedMistbornrules.
Nonetheless, he develops well-thought-out, fairly original magic systems with hard rules.
This is just one example of Sandersons writing process that shows his top priority is the reader experience.

In Stormlight, language was more important, so I developed the linguistics.
Aside from just contributing outstanding work, Sanderson has made himself a public figure.
