As you enter the high fantasy genre, there is one author who will stand out. Brandon Sanderson has more than 70 books published, with more than 30 of them as full novels, while the rest is made up of novellas and short stories. It’s overwhelming going into an author’s library and figuring out where to start.
The good news is that the Stormlight Archive author understands. He shared a video that was published on both his own Instagram and the NOVA Instagram, an imprint of Penguin Libros, where he shared that he gets how “intimidating” it is to dive in. So, he’s decided to share where to start.
Four Distinct Entry Points to Brandon Sanderson’s Work
This isn’t just a look at four books that are in a specific order. Sanderson has written a variety of stories, following different worlds and characters. He knows that there are particular types of readers who will benefit from various starting points.
Tress of the Emerald Sea is a must for those who want something on the whimsical side. There’s a personal connection to this story, as the Hugo Award Winner wrote it during the pandemic for his wife. It follows Tress, a girl who loves her quiet life on an island, just collecting cups and listening to stories. When disaster strikes, Tress has to leave the safety of her own world to rescue her friend, Charlie, from the Sorceress of the Midnight Sea.
Sanderson then suggests Mistborn for those who love action and adventure. It’s a fast-paced heist story, following Kelsier, who is the only person to survive the Lord Ruler’s most brutal prison. It was in there that he discovered his Mistborn powers, and now he must assemble a crew of specialists for the ultimate heist against the Lord Ruler.
View this post on InstagramHow about if you prefer something that searches the soul? Something that is a little more literary? The Whitney Award winner suggests The Emperor’s Soul, which was one of his Hugo Award-winning novellas. Yes, it’s a novella, which makes it a faster read and is a great look at whether Sanderson’s work is for you. This one follows Shai, a master Forger who is able to rewrite the history of objects, and when she’s arrested, she has one chance to save herself: forge a new soul for the emperor.
It probably isn’t surprising to Sanderson’s fans that The Way of Kings is the next one on the list, and this is for those who love the epic fantasies. It’s the first novel in the Stormlight Archive, and has more than 1,000 pages, so it’s not for a weekend read. The series starts on Roshar, a world that is regularly hit by devastating magical storms that help to reduce humans to a Neolithic stage of development. For those who love multiple POVs, this is the story for you.
