[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 9428584, member: 7023887"] Brandon Sanderson is primarily a fantasy author who tackles a wide variety of topics in his books, including but not limited to: mental illness, colonialism, trauma, oppression, religious fanaticism, and how power affects people. He is often praised for his in-depth world building and magic systems. The Stormlight Archive is an epic fantasy series taking place on an alien world thrown into chaos after the mysterious assassination of the king.* *It is hard to say more than this without spoiling the books. IMO part of the magic of The Way of Kings is becoming immersed in the setting and slowly learning how it works.
