In my view, you've already broken free of "the guy who finished wheel of time." Your original books are top notch. :)

The way he talks about reading the draft, knowing his characters from his family but not knowing the real person, all this makes me think that is how his ideas of "the soul of the emperor" came from

[DivinePearl]

Brandon looks like he's trying so hard not to get emotional.

[madeline]

Brandon already did all that, he inspired me like no one else, his books take me out of reading slumps xD and he's simply the best author ever! Love Brandon ❤️❤️

[andrewhallam]

Well it's now 2020 and you have not only broken free, you have become the most popular author of fantasy this century so far.

[arngeiregilsnnenasen]

Rest assured Mr. Sanderson. You have escaped his shadow, and you are most certainly an inspiration.

[sterisharms]

He sounds like Spook might if he were to talk to Kelsier.
Now I think I know where that part of The Hero Of Ages came from.

in 2019 Brandon sanderson really built up his own impire and cast his own shadow
😍 I really love his writing

[JediPug]

Lovely, Brandon. No doubt, Mr. Jordan would be very pleased with all you've done - not only in finishing his life's work, but also with your own fine work.

[melaniem]

Awwww, Brandon. You made me cry. Thanks for finishing the series.

[Banditx]

Mr. Sanderson, the fact that you took up the cloak and crown and fought us a path to an end... is amazing and very brave of you... You earned your heron marks and I hope you wear your dragons proudly.... Go forth and carve us new worlds to explore.. I thank you!

[maartymcfly]

epic speach...he must be resting in peace after your great job, Brandon...thank you!
looking forward for your second book from stormlight archive here in czech republic...

[pernosophy]

I'm glad this showed up on my recommended. Don't really know how he kept himself from crying lol

[benwil]

The way I see you is as a hero who took up the baton and finished the race that everybody thought would remain unfinished forever.
And like a real hero, your journey has only gone on ✊🏻

[evelic]

Brandon is and will be one of the greatests without doubt.

[phusiusheron]

Thanks for finishing the series. I read this series at 15 when I dropped out of high school I am 25 not and finally able to finish it. The Wheel of Time saved my life and kept me in line.

I read all your works now Brandon Sanderson, Warbreaker and the Mistborn series blew me away! I want a Warbreaker sequel and soon! xD

[soupdragonuk]

That grabbed me by the throat. Beautiful. Having read the series multiple times, the last one A Memory of Light is the only book in my entire life I've read that has made me cry. And it did several times.

[madiantin]

Why was this in my recommended seven years after it was published? Dang it. Who is cutting onions? *sniff*

[Anterbok]

I've read everything of yours that I've been able to find but I've still never gotten into the Wheel of Time series. Everything else of read is spectacular, I see no shadow.

[benofbens]

I wondered what I would do once I finished the Wheel of Time series. So much time and energy invested in a fictional world, I didn't want it to end. Like in the books, the Wheel turns, and the end of Jordan's era opens up for me the new(to me) works of Sanderson. I may not have ever been introduced to your writing if things had been different. Your writing complemented that of Jordan, and I have pages and pages left, exitedly, to read.
Thank you.
