The first episode of my book analysis series is for the first book in the Mistborn Saga from Brandon Sanderson: The final empire.

I came across Brandon a few months back and I also took one of his creative writing classes. An amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn or perfect their skills as a writer. Actually, the full classes are available for free on his Youtube channel.

So, how will this book turn out to be? form an author who successfully raised more than $ 41 million in a Kickstarter campaign in a matter of days. It is certainly the case that his readers are mega-fans.

It is really worth all the hype? Well, we shall find out in this series, as I breakdown the book chapter by chapter, teaching you how to use the story matrix in the process to perfect your own storytelling and analysis skills.

Let’s go!

Please, make sure that you subscribe to the podcast to not miss these series and the other ones on various films, books and TV-shows that I post daily.

About Brandon Sanderson:

Brandon Winn Sanderson (born December 19, 1975) is an American author of high fantasy and science fiction. He is best known for the Cosmere fictional universe, in which most of his fantasy novels, most notably the Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive, are set. Outside of the Cosmere, he has written several young adult and juvenile series including The Reckoners, the Skyward series,[a] and the Alcatraz series. He is also known for finishing Robert Jordan’s high fantasy series The Wheel of Time and has created several graphic novel fantasy series including White Sand and Dark One.

He created Sanderson’s Laws of Magic and popularized the idea of “hard magic” and “soft magic” systems. In 2008, Sanderson started a podcast with author Dan Wells and cartoonist Howard Tayler called Writing Excuses, involving topics about creating genre writing and webcomics. In 2016, the American media company DMG Entertainment licensed the movie rights to Sanderson’s entire Cosmere universe, but the rights have since reverted back to Sanderson. Sanderson’s March 2022 Kickstarter campaign became the most successful in history, finishing with 185,341 backers pledging $41,754,153.
