I'd heard his prose was bad, and I'm far from a snob about that kind of thing, but holy shit.
What do you mean, anon? It's awesome and epic:>No... I'm his THERAPIST can you imagine what a literal mic drop moment that must have been???
>>25307786You are not supposed to read him if you are over 20 years old or a woman, do.
>>25307786He's no Tolkien but his prose isn't bad by any means. I suppose it depends on what you're reading though. One of his YA novels? Yeah, expect it to be worse than say Stormlight.
>>25307805Storm light rapidly became YA tier, complete with softcore gay erotica.
>>25307805He is pretty bad but Brown is far worse.Those stupid red rising books, holy fuck. Marvel slopa tier

Ehhh. I did like the Mistborn trilogy. The only problem I had with them is that he raced to the conclusion in the last fifth in each one of them. Felt like he meandered before going "oh shit, I need to end this, or my publisher will be pissed."
Even as an ESL I can tell his prose is very simple and corny at times. Some expressions feel so 21st century american vernacular they pùll you right out of the story.That being said I still enjoy stormlight, the only thing I read of him
>>25307805>>25308246>>25308249There's a beauty to simple prose Being able to convey something in a vivid yet short manner. and then there's summarizing what you're writing. Sanderson is the later.
>>25307837I'm in the middle of my first read through RR. The author writes like he is entitled to a TV series or movie. I can respect the grind. The second book was really fun and couldn't exist without the first which is an interesting situation to have written himself into.
>>25307786You need to be white to get sanderson. Unironically.
>>25307786His prose is fine. He's a plotfag so it's no big surprise that it's a bit bland.
