Nobody is writing big immersive fantasy anymore like he is and people want that. Mapped over time BS satisfies that need better than virtually all of the big-name novelists. Honestly, I think what tells you is that there is a HUGE appetite for fantasy novels rather than supporting a strong claim in favor of quality of this particular book. Somewhere there are people reading this thing and talking about it. Around here, we have Joe Abercrombie with multiple active threads but this number one best seller has only moved a couple pages in the week and a half it’s been out. I’m sure if I went to Goodreads right now, this book would be sitting near the top of all the cumulative ratings of the books on my shelf. On the subject of the status as a Number 1 Bestseller, it serves as a reminder of the echo chamber this board has become. (Maybe Hudson Hawke would be the equivalent of one of his failed worlds that never quite was good enough to earn its own book. Also, an actor from a different Bruce Willis movie would show up to imply a shared world. It'd end with John getting on the plane to LA, and the post-credits scene would tease Hans Gruber and co arriving in the states. I imagine the first movie would be 3ish hours long and focus on the day to day and totally unrelated lives of John, Holly, and Powell in the days before the ill-fated Christmas Party, it'd feature lengthy flashbacks detailing the breakdown of John and Holly's marriage and have entirely unrelated scenes of minor characters sprinkled in. I'm thoroughly enjoying your commentary, but thinking about Die Hard as told by Sanderson is somewhat of a nightmare.
