If we had to describe Brandon Sanderson (Nebraska, 1975) with a word,
this would be prolific. He isn’t forty years old yet but he has already written
several sagas, namely Mistborn, Reckoners, Alcatraz and Stormlight
Archive, although most of them remain still unfinished. “I started writing
standalones, but they were secretly a big long epic”, confesses Sanderson. Moreover,
it is very easy to see he takes his work very seriously since he uses every
instant to write something, either if it is in a plane or between interviews.
In fact, we find him with a little notebook in his hand, lest he can progress
in his work before we get to the appointment.
Despite knowing Sanderson for his big Mistborn epic, he tells us he started
working on The Stormlight Archive
back when he was a teenager and he actually doesn’t know yet for which saga he
will be remembered by. However, Sanderson hasn’t only delighted us with his
genuine work, since he had the immense privilege to conclude Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time when he passed away in
2007. “When they offered me the assignment I was stunned, amazed and horrified,
all at the same time”, says Sanderson, although he quickly adds that putting
the full stop to the saga was a little bittersweet since he felt he would like
to keep writing about Jordan’s world and characters.

the biggest fantasy writers of our time who is also a big superhero fan (preferring
DC over Marvel). His wish, seeing his work turned into videogames.
