Fantasy with Friends poses questions each Monday about fantasy, either as a genre as a whole or individual works. It was created and is run by Pages Unbound. Learn about the weekly prompts and how to participate by visiting their Fantasy with Friends blog post.
Fantasy With Friends Weekly Question
Are you a Brandon Sanderson fan? Some readers online have called his books the “fast food of fantasy?” Do you think that’s a valid criticism?
Well, I finally find some time to participate in Fantasy with Friends and the weekly prompt just so happens to be one that I’m not really familiar with! I’ve never read a book written by Brandon Sanderson, so I’m neither a fan or a hater, and neither can I comment on whether I think his books are the “fast food of fantasy.”
To be honest, I don’t really ever see myself picking up any of his books any time soon. If I do, it’d probably be TRESS OF THE EMERALD SEA because it’s a standalone novel. I don’t have the capacity to start a Sanderson series. They all seem so long, both in series and individual book length. Moreover, I don’t gravitate toward epic fantasy…when I do I think I tend to pick something with a romance element to it.
