Brandon Sanderson plays Magic The Gathering at a local game shop near me and even tho I don't, I'm tempted to show up sometime cause his books rock!<br /><br />The first book in an epic fantasy series, Way of Kings, rocks!<br /><br />He was the one tasked with finishing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series after Jordan died, and the final book is now in the editing stages and such, be out next Jan. He has brought the series back into focus that RJ lost after the first 3-4 books.<br /><br />There's even a recently published Mistborn RPG now, if you like it that much!<br /><br />Me, I want one of the sanctioned I survived Bridge Four shirts, referencing Way of Kings.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-41315280791784532252012-03-24T17:39:37.970-07:002012-03-24T17:39:37.970-07:00I just reserved the first one at my local library ...I just reserved the first one at my local library based on this review.

They might not grasp the depth and themes, but they'll get a kick out of all the ass-kicking.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-5017930812811175232012-03-19T13:43:36.304-07:002012-03-19T13:43:36.304-07:00Any recommended minimum age vis-a-vis the violence...Any recommended minimum age vis-a-vis the violence? thanks.Feznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-42742317039248179122012-03-17T06:49:28.444-07:002012-03-17T06:49:28.444-07:00Ya!

These books just blew me away. They really are that fresh and awesome. Matt didn't mention it, but Anderson also creates a "magic" system for the books that is totally fascinating. And the action scenes... I can absolutely visualize every action scene complete with soundtrack. THESE ARE GREAT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
