The third book in Brandon Sanderson’s hugely successful Kickstarter is Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. This has been my favorite of the three books as it is set in the Cosmere, has some manga and Asian cultural influences and has a great story told by Hoid who is currently stuck at a statue while his Criptid […]
Epic fantasy, by definition, should be epic. It typically involves a grand and sweeping narrative that spans a vast world with many characters, cultures, and conflicts. I find that they are often stories that stay with me forever. That might be good, seeing as they usually require a huge investment in time (and sometimes money, […]
During the pandemic, some writers couldn’t write a book, others delivered like nothing was going on, some changed drastically what they were writing. But, Brandon Sanderson was/is a little different than everyone else out there and he not only delivered on his promised contracts but also wrote not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 […]
If you didn’t hear, Brandon Sanderson secretly wrote four books in the Cosmere during the no traveling portion of Covid. He then decided to publish them himself and announced it to the fans in the form of a kickstarter if you wanted in AND so many of us did. It is the most successful kickstarter […]

Evershore is the third novella in the Skyward series and even though it is listed as 3.1 all the events in it happen before book 3 chronologically so I would read it then. Jorgen, call sign Jerkface, has so many new challenges ahead of him. With the disappearance of Cob he is on a rescue […]
Cytonic is the 3rd full length novel In Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward series. Just a note – there are 2 novellas between Starsight and Cytonic, which I highly recommend you read before you begin Cytonic or you will spend the entire time wondering what is going on with Jorgen, FM, Rig and all the rest of […]
Sunreach is the first novella of three Sanderson has planned for his Skyward series and should be read after the second book. It is different in that he has teamed up with another writer to give us a view point from one of the side characters of the series FM. She is one of the […]
