I’m currently reading The Boy Crisis not from this website though I highly recommend this book so far I’m nearing the end. I’m also reading a short novel “The Life and Lessons of a young Author” from this website.

I just finished the series “Imdalind” which I really enjoyed, and now have started “ Trylle” the trilogy. I know I am too old to be reading young adult love stories, but I find them easy to read.

"Brandon Sanderson is much better than Tolstoy" - that's an interesting proposition!
Basically, the question is if it holds up. He may have been revolutionary in his day, but nowadays is his message still relevant? Sanderson will stand the test of time.
