For the record I've never read a Sanderson novel, but I've heard they were rather socially conservative for the most part. No sex, no modern politics, no R-rated scenes. Moderate T for Teen level content.
Sanderson has also been pushing for Hollywood deals for a long time, but had no luck.
The most recent book suddenly had homos and non-binary and all that stuff. Then boom, TV deal signed.
Thoughts?
Before his announcement that he was going Woke, you could see the cracks appear in his Mistborn Era 2 series. Interesting enough his quality went downhill rapidly also. He also tried to do his stupid sanderverse thing which made also ruined the quality in my view.
I thought Misborn Era 2 was great. Yes, there are signs of Hollyweird peaking through, but it's pretty minimal.
