I keep hearing that but I couldn't get through it! It just didn't hold my attention.
That’s how I feel about Neuromancer and most other cyberpunk books.
Stormlight Archives blows mistborn out of the water for me personally.
Is it cyberpunk tho?
Not in the slightest. Much closer to traditional fantasy than anything, but much more modern than what you would get from Tolkien or the wheel of time
Wasn’t there a sci-fi serie in there or am I misremembering hard? Anyway I’m reading Mistborn (very slowly), it’s fucking good
Sanderson does have some sci fi stuff like Rekoners and Skyward that are not part of the same universe as mistborn and stormlight. I haven’t read them though, so I can’t give much of an opinion
Yeah, I have Skyward in my very long backlog
I found Snow Crash the easiest of his to get through. Love the Deliverator and Uncle Enzo. Would love a film version with Jason Momoa as Raven.
