Prose aside, Sanderson has created an intricate fantasy universe with multiple book series' worth of material, all taking place on different worlds within the same galaxy and therefore governed by the same magical laws, on a timeline that includes vast cosmological figures and people who can hop between the worlds, all with their own goals and methods. And he keeps this sprawling universe consistent with itself, with all events preceding relatively logically based on every given character's drives, knowledge, and toolkits.
Dude is great with trope subversion, a consistent, scientific approach to how magic works, and unique ideas in fantasy (no elves or dragons in Roshar, just a massive fucking storm and an entire ecology developed around that storm). Prose is a weakness of his, but it's easy to see how he built a career on the back of his strengths. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro ... Copied to Clipboard!
