Not quite. King is prolific bit not that prolific, and his quality wavers much more.

Probably the next book I'll read once I'm done with my current one. I've been meaning to go on a Sanderson binge for a while. I'll probably read Skyward afterwards, but I dunno if I'll jump into Oathbringer or read the sidestories first.

Read edgedancer before Oathbringer. And ideally, Warbreaker if you haven't already. Skyward is great though!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add them to my wishlist so I don't forget.

yeah they aren't the best but they are really hyped for some reason. Stormlight books are really good though.

Elantris has a really cool magic system though

They all do!

It's slow to start but give it a chance. You should be sold by the end of the first book.

Would you rather they release The Stormlight Archive be released as a major motion picture release or an anime?

All of his content in A Song of Ice and Fire is pretty damn good if you ask me. The main series, Dunk and Egg, and even the history books, which I do understand can be a turn-off to some, but I like it all

I'd be happy with any kind of adaptation as long as it's good. A big budget movie would be preferred but even though the books are popular among readers I don't know if it would do well with the general public.

Anime 100%. It couldn't be done as a movie or even TV show accurately.

Yeah, that probably would be best. You'd need a really nice budget to make everything look good if it was a typical movie or tv show.

Even more than that. So much of the magic is internal, and couldn't really be shown effectively.

I actually do like Dunk and Egg, I just wanted a little hyperbole

1 novel, 1 novella and a bunch of shit I'm not interested in is probably more accurate

To be fair, his best book(imo) was more than a decade before GoT, Fevre Dream.
