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.
Mistborn is great. The first book of the storm light archives is fantastic (at least half the story from the male protagonist's perspective), but he really dropped the ball after that
If mistborn's still good I'll have to check it out, I have the first audiobook(I listen a lot to audiobooks when about to working out).
I'd honestly put it in my top 10 best fantasy series pretty easily, maybe even top 3. Brian Sanderson used to be a talented and creative writer, but he unfortunately became a bit derivative with his later works and became ridiculously woke.
