Brandon Sanderson is an American fantasy and science-fiction author best known for the interconnected Cosmere universe, especially the Mistborn saga and The Stormlight Archive. Beginning with Elantris, he built a reputation for intricate worldbuilding, rule-based magic systems, multiple... viewpoints, and climaxes where long-planted story threads converge with unusual precision. His Cosmere novels span different worlds and eras while sharing a larger cosmology, rewarding both series-by-series reading and deeper exploration of recurring connections. Sanderson also completed Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series from Jordan’s notes and has written major non-Cosmere works including Skyward and The Reckoners. Readers return to him for ambitious narrative architecture, evolving fantasy societies, memorable systems of magic, and large-scale stories planned across years and interconnected series.
