I don't know many Sanderson fans are around here, but for those who don't know, the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive just came out. I'm about halfway through it and there is so much shoehorned woke garbage in it.
One character is suddenly gay, like Kaiden in Mass Effect 3. There are all these references to transgenderism, which hasn't existed at all in this universe until this point. All of it is so jarring and out of place. I guess Sanderson has been spending too much time on reddit.
I just want one thing I can enjoy.
I'm not joking when I say I was skeptical of Brandon when he said Crossroads of Twilight was an underrated book. Crossroads was absolute shit and that take alone made me completely ignore his work on the Wheel of Time and everything he's made since. Glad to be vindicated.
If you were following WoT before, the change in style is noticeable but it's still Jordan's story in the end- it's worth getting to the finish line.
