"20ish percent in and this already feels like it is going to be the worst Sanderson novel yet, which so far hasn't happened a lot with me. But this... This stinks, bad. It may be the co-writer, but having read everything by Sanderson... I feel a lot of it is Sanderson, with the co-writer just adding his little bit to it. Like Brandon wrote 70%, then the other guy just filled in his bits... It's not going well." — Aug 14, 2026 09:52PM

Dan’s Quotes

“These were highly intelligent, able-bodied men who were denied access to stable high-paying jobs, which in turn kept them from being able to buy homes, send their kids to college, or save for retirement. It pained them, I know, to be cast aside, to be stuck in jobs that they were overqualified for, to watch white people leapfrog past them at work, sometimes training new employees they knew might one day become their bosses. And it bred within each of them at least a basic level of resentment and mistrust: You never quite knew what other folks saw you to be.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming
