If you are familiar with the fantasy genre in fiction, then you probably already know the name Brandon Sanderson. For those new to sword-and-sorcery fiction with wizards and dragons, it helps to know that his name is often mentioned alongside modern giants like George R.R. Martin, Robert Jordan, and Terry Pratchett.
Tor Books bought Sanderson’s novel “Elantrist” in 2003 after the author developed his voice and style. It was a breakthrough that paved the way for his wildly successful “Mistborn” series.
