“This had better be worth it…”

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Drama, Age: YA+

Released: 31st August 2012 (UK version)

A short novella by my favourite author, published by small company, and imported into UK at an exorbitant cost.

After being used to Brandon Sanderson’s 600+ pages novels, it’s a shock to be holding this tiny 88 page story, despite the hardback cover.

I was intrigued by the promise of a new magic system (well it’s a mental condition), and a different plot to what I’ve read from him before.  Definitely looking forward to reading this, as well his other books.

News: Stormlight Archive Book 2 Estimated Release Date

“Pre-order a fictional book…”

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Genre: Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Age: YA+

Released: 21st November 2013 (UK version)

Now that Brandon Sanderson’s work with the Wheel of Time series is complete, it’s an exciting wait to see what he does with his own epic fantasy series.

I’ve been fanatical about the Stormlight Archive series ever since the the first book, The Way of Kings, blew me away. The scope of the book was magnificent.

News: Alcatraz Omnibus Release Date

“This book carries a secret…”

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Genre: Fantasy, Comedy, Adventure, Age: Children’s+

Released: 20th September 2012 (UK version)

Being a big fan of Brandon Sanderson’s work, it’s always irked me that his Alcatraz books weren’t released in the UK. Instead, they were imported from the US, at an exorbitant cost.

Just when I’m about to shell out for the Alcatraz books, I spot a pre-order notice for the UK Alcatraz Omnibus
!

News: Emperor’s Soul Release Date

“Thief but with a Sanderson twist…”

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Genre: Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Age: YA+

Released: 1st November 2012 (UK version)

Brandon Sanderson ensures that magic is kept alive with this short novella. It features a completely new character, albeit one with an interesting magic ability. From the blurb, I’m somehow heavily reminded of Warbreaker.
