1
You know, I'm old enough to remember when a Brandon Sanderson new release day, it almost felt like a holiday.
2
Now it almost feels like there's some kind of dread that follows it.
3
So how did we get here?
4
Hey, what's up, bookworms and Nights Radio.
5
Mike, back today to talk a little Brandon Sanderson in the Cosmere, but more specifically, guys, the Stormlight Archive and the downfall.
6
How did we get here? has happened.
7
with the once highly acclaimed Stormlight Archive.
8
And you know what?
9
Maybe still highly acclaimed.
10
We're going to talk about that today.
11
When I say examining downfall, I'm going to kind of talk about both sides of it here and kind of where I fall on it.
12
But just so you know, this is a matter of opinion.
13
I'm not stating anything as a fact here.
14
But I know that everything will be completely fine in the comments.
15
I mean, completely rational down there.
16
So a big reason that the Stormlight Archive was something that I just so hailed when I started this channel,
17
was because I felt like it was a connective tissue of what made his universe work.
18
Seven years ago, I made a video on this channel talking about how I thought that Brandon Sanderson
19
was the next Tolkien because he was writing this story
20
that I felt like people would be examining for a long, long time.
21
And at that time, there were three books out in the series.
22
I really felt like it had made those headways.
23
I made the comparison to Dark Tower, where The Dark Tower by Stephen King, many considered that his magnum opus.
24
And I felt like this was it for him because, like I said...
25
you could find something connecting to the rest of his universe within
26
that story so it was really brilliant and now just seven years later I'm not sure if I'm going to continue.
27
with the Cosmere.
28
So what happened?
29
That is kind of the crux of today's discussion.
30
We're going to kind of go through these topics one by one here and kind of discuss how exactly this did happen.
31
Let's begin with don't believe the hype, the first topic here.
32
I think this would be the hype problem, obviously.
33
Look, books one through three in this series were phenomenal.
34
Most people didn't have a lot to complain about, but they were very, very happy.
35
Most people, if they made it through book one and his writing style, which can be kind of slow, it took a little while to get going, They were like, this is amazing.
36
And then they read book two, and they're like, holy crap, this is incredible.
37
Three, it gave them a lot of answers they were looking for.
38
It gave them the big, epic third act that they'd just been dying for.
39
Really, it was just...
40
Excellent.
41
You couldn't get enough of this universe.
42
And then the wait started.
43
A lot of people didn't start until around Oathbringer, when this series started getting more and more word of mouth.
44
At least that's my experience with it.
45
A lot of you might have been there before me.
46
Like I said, I didn't discover Brandon Sanders until like 2014 or so when I read Mistborn.
47
So maybe I just knew the community and that's the way that it felt.
48
But it just meant that the expectations kind of grew faster than he could write it.
49
This series just started gaining so much popularity, so much momentum, and he was writing other things.
50
And aside, this is like the Star Wars prequels here.
51
We're waiting three years in between these movies.
52
After it was so much waiting and so much expectations, readers were just expecting
53
there to be a words of Radiant style kind of emotional payoff to every single book in this series.
54
And it's been unable to kind of replicate that, at least in most of the feedback that you can find out here.
55
So I think it was a combination of the hype and the waiting between books.
56
When you're waiting for like that next big album by your favorite band, is there any way it can live up to Thriller?
57
You know, what comes after Thriller could still be really good.
58
Bad was still really good.
59
You know, Tusk was really good, but it wasn't rumors, right?
60
So that was kind of like that fans had for it.
61
It was like the weight, combined with how awesome previous books were, there was no way you could kind of fill those expectations through hype.
62
You cannot have my pain.
63
Now, this is going to be my thoughts on the tone and the structure shift.
64
after Oathbringer.
65
Now look.
66
After Oathbringer, I don't think there's very many people out there that will argue with you that the series drastically changed.
67
It really did.
68
It felt like the third act of Oathbringer was kind of that Avengers in -game moment.
69
Avengers Assemble, you kind of had that huge, huge moment.
70
And then I felt like maybe it peaked too soon because it's never really hit those highs ever again.
71
He's tried to have the Sanderlange, the big third act in books four and five.
72
They just never really felt as epic, obviously, as
73
that big moment in the end where everybody just kind of just showed up at the right moment
74
and just had that huge climax.
75
It just almost felt like the end of the series in many regards.
76
You know, there's some things obviously that obviously not.
77
There's still plenty of room, but I'm saying it felt like it could have been a setup for the end.
78
And that's the problem here, setup.
79
Thank you.
80
The subsequent two books after it have kind of felt like a lot of setup for that second arc in the series, books six through ten, that he's planning.
81
And I think that's kind of happened
82
because the shift from character -driven arcs to plot -driven logistics is kind of how I explain it.
83
That's kind of slowed things down.
84
He's given us the back history of one character not too many cared about, and then giving us the back history of another character
85
that everybody really was really interested in and maybe just not exactly how they were hoping it would go.
86
But a big shift in tone has been the increasing complexity of this magic system.
87
I'm personally one of those who are like, I understand why Gandalf can do magic.
88
He's a fucking wizard.
89
I don't need to know more than that.
90
He can use magic.
91
Great.
92
Brandon feels like he needs to explain to us how the sausage has gotten made.
93
And honestly, that hasn't been the most exhilarating thing for me to read.
94
A lot of people love it.
95
A lot of people are here for the magic system.
96
I am fine with that.
97
That's something you're here for.
98
I mean, I kind of did that with Mistborn.
99
I love that magic system.
100
I like studying it.
101
With this, it kind of felt like I was sitting in a classroom.
102
And I don't want to do that when I'm reading my fantasy books.
103
Again, I don't need magic to be a character.
104
You can have a great complex magic system.
105
You don't have to tell me how it works.
106
I feel like that's just, it just kind of demystifies it for me.
107
And that's been a problem for more people than just myself, I do believe.
108
Next, we're going to talk about the Cosmere Overload.
109
Yes, this is a very, very real thing.
110
This is what began as connective tissue.
111
and has now kind of evolved into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is the comparison that I've made.
112
It used to be like Easter eggs, Fun Things, and if you'd read some of his other series...
113
You'd see a character or a mention or just a word pop up.
114
You'd say, hey, that's from your Warbreaker.
115
Hey, that's from Mistborn.
116
Hey, I mean, that's from the Emperor's Soul.
117
Wow, what a pull, what a deep cut.
118
And it was fun.
119
It was like the Dark Tower that you didn't have to read everything in Stephen King's multiverse to understand it.
120
But it was fun if you knew him.
121
You never really felt like you had to read everything to get what was going on.
122
But cross -series lore, it's changed the reading experience.
123
Because now it feels like the books can no longer stand on their own.
124
series is it felt like with the last, especially the last book in the series, it's felt like Brandon's telling me,
125
yes, you have to watch all those Disney Plus shows now to understand the Marvel movies.
126
You know, Marvel tried to do that.
127
It didn't go over very well.
128
And before it always kind of felt like this could stand on its own.
129
You didn't have to read anything else.
130
Now it really does feel like, okay, well, hey, you want to keep reading Mistborn?
131
You have to read all the Stormlight Archive.
132
You want to keep reading Stormlight Archive?
133
You got to read all of Mistborn.
134
Hell, you might even have to read the sequel to Elantra's that he plans to write.
135
It just, it feels like a ask for your readers.
136
Now, he's earned it, obviously.
137
He has an incredible fan base, and they love it.
138
He could write his grocery list on a napkin, and fans are going to read it.
139
So I get it.
140
I get why he feels like he's safe enough to do that now.
141
But for people who maybe just like just this series, yeah, you don't want to go through all those little side things, those little side quests to understand everything that's going on in the main story.
142
I feel like that can hurt a little bit.
143
Like if Stephen King had said, hey, if you haven't read Dark Tower, my books aren't going to make sense anymore, I felt like that's a comparison I make at the time.
144
It felt like his Dark Tower, which is one of my favorite fantasy series of all time.
145
So it's a compliment.
146
Very much is.
147
But I also feel like the series, it kind of, we're sticking with the Disney Plus or the Marvel comparison here.
148
It feels like it did kind of devolve to Disney Plus and Marvel shows.
149
The kind of quality of the content, the dialogue and the humor have really, really fell off a cliff to where it's like,
150
it doesn't feel world appropriate.
151
It feels like there's a different writer in the writer's room now, right?
152
In the dialogue and stuff, it doesn't feel like it's fitting.
153
It kind of feels like that one PlayStation game, Forspoken, where it was like, "Why is the character talking like this?" That's definitely,
154
in Win the Truth, that was kind of the attitude I had while reading it.
155
Like, "Why are our characters talking like this now?
156
This doesn't make sense." It feels like someone from Portal Fantasy or something kind of hopped into this world.
157
And that's kind of brought it down a little bit for me.
158
But really, it's just expecting us to read everything in a universe to understand this main series, that's a tough, tough sell for me.
159
How about we already did this?
160
We already did this.
161
Now it's going to be character arc fatigue.
162
And that's a big one for me because I am a character reader first.
163
Look, I feel like some arcs, they kind of feel stretched or stalled or maybe repetitive at this point.
164
That's been a real, real drag for me because the first three books, those arcs were brilliant.
165
Getting the Dalinar one, getting the Shallan one, getting the Kaladin one, they were all really, really good.
166
He set up the pieces early.
167
He paid them off exactly the way that you want.
168
Then he decided he was just going to tear those down and do them over again.
169
Kaladin's trauma cycles, Shallan's identity fracturing, Dalinar's slow political grind.
170
It's like, we've done this already.
171
this again, it kind of made those arcs in books 1 through 3 almost seem kind of pointless in hindsight.
172
Like Terminator 3, it was like, so you're telling me Judgment Day didn't matter?
173
We're still going to get the Riser Machines anyway.
174
It's kind of how it felt like.
175
Because it was like, we're doing this with Kaladin again.
176
We're doing this with Shallan again.
177
It's like, we already did these.
178
You did them perfectly in those first two books.
179
And I think the problem is, is he overpowered some of his characters too soon.
180
So he feels like he's got to keep breaking them.
181
that makes things feel repetitive.
182
That makes things feel like, well, we already did this, and it feels like a remake of something that didn't need to be remade, and it's not as good as the original.
183
That's the kind of feeling that I've had with it.
184
But it just feels like the pacing, the arcs kind of outgrew the pacing of the plot.
185
in his series.
186
Because again, the series has just exploded to so much popularity, and he's taking so long working on so many other things while he's writing it, that it kind of feels like, okay, well, you almost feel distracted now,
187
and you're not really hitting on the same beat.
188
I'm sorry, nobody cared about Ventley enough to have a backstory for her. Did anybody?
189
I mean, I could be speaking for the wrong people here, but for me, it was just like, what does this have to do with anything?
190
I would have much rather had a Yasna, you know, flashbacks or even Zeth a book early.
191
That would have been fine by me.
192
But of course, that's going to kind of depend on you.
193
That's just kind of where I stand on it.
194
How about your side, my side?
195
Now, this is a big one.
196
Always when you have a fandom split, seems like it's going to happen in just about a.. everything there is these days.
197
You're either on this side or you're on that side and both sides think the other side is evil.
198
That's just kind of how it works.
199
I think a big one with this is you have the early fans and you have the late arriving fans.
200
That's a big one.
201
I mean, you think about the people who are like, oh, I liked Metallica before they started getting played on the radio and stuff like that.
202
There is a little bit of that.
203
There's always going to be a little bit of that, whether people want to admit it or not.
204
It does feel like you're going to be kind of protective over it.
205
Like, oh, they haven't been good since their first album.
206
That's going to happen quite a bit for the people who showed up late and and think they know everything.
207
Like, you know, the people who started watching Game of Thrones, when people like myself had been reading those books for years, and people really, really liked the show, and then they would tell you, oh, yeah, you should read the books.
208
Like, really?
209
So there is some of that, but I think there's the readers who want character work, like myself, And there's a character breeders who want lore.
210
They want to know more about the magic system.
211
They want to know more about the history.
212
They want to know more about the world.
213
Much so more than they do the main plot or character arcs.
214
That's going to happen sometimes.
215
That's kind of what it comes down to do for me.
216
I am character first every time.
217
In those first three books, I felt like his focus.
218
The last two books have felt very much like, let's build this world out.
219
Let's fill some things out.
220
Let's explain how the magic works
221
while I wait to get to this arc I really want to write about in six through 10.
222
But I think also the rise of, let's call it stormlight discourse on TikTok and Reddit and BookTube.
223
Look, one side will accept zero criticism of Brandon Sanderson, like zero.
224
It's a religion at this point you are not allowed to speak ill of the Lord Ruler.
225
It is not something you're going to accept.
226
However, On the opposite side, there are others who will hear zero praise for Brandon Sanderson.
227
Not just fancy snobs, either.
228
There are just a lot of people who are just like, I don't get it.
229
And if the second you tell me that Nickelback is your favorite band, I'm taking your music opinion seriously anymore.
230
That's how they feel about it.
231
They feel like if Brandon Sanderson is your favorite author, I'm not going to take your opinion seriously.
232
There are both sides of this argument.
233
Anytime you have a fandom split, especially like this one, it's going to seem like a bigger deal than it probably is, but it is really a big deal.
234
How about the Sanderlanch?
235
Now, with the Sanderlanch, my focus here is just the Brandon Sanders in effect overall.
236
When you are the most popular of anything in a to attract haters.
237
It's going to happen.
238
When you are the big thing, there's going to be, even if it's just being contrarians, you're going to have people talking about why it's not actually any good.
239
When you say you like an Andy Weir book, people are like, oh, that is an actual sci -fi.
240
That's Walmart sci -fi.
241
I get that with Blake Crouch a lot too.
242
There's other things about this.
243
You see people that were actually really angry, literally angry that Brandon Sanderson has so much success on Kickstarter.
244
Look, he has curated this fandom for years.
245
He deserves forward.
246
He's built up his fan base and good for him.
247
I'm never gonna get mad about someone going out there and getting their money.
248
No problems with that.
249
But it's also the explosion of side projects.
250
You know, is he spreading himself too thin?
251
That's something I feel like is a real, real problem here.
252
Because there's people like me who are selfish and greedy and say, can you just focus on writing Stormlight Archive?
253
I don't want to be 80 when you finish it.
254
You know, because he's talking about taking like, a really long break before he writes book six and then three years wait between each one of those as well.
255
So yeah, we're talking what 20, 25 years in the future before he finishes this series.
256
A lot of people don't want to wait that long.
257
And it's like, okay, really, you're writing more Skyward stories.
258
Okay, you're writing Mistborn, era nine, you know, can you focus on the task at hand, you get a lot of that.
259
But this is also kind of birth the expectation that he should write at superhuman speed, that he should go to sleep like the Tommyknockers and let the typewriter write for him.
260
People expect these books to come out faster because he does have two or three books that comes every year.
261
He'll drop a secret project.
262
Hey, here's four new books that you guys didn't even know I was writing.
263
That's the kind of stuff that generates that kind of expectation, that I need a new book in my hand every three months.
264
And that can be a problem.
265
It's unrealistic, obviously, but then you can't complain about the quality when all you want is quantity.
266
It's going the face of modern fantasy, which he clearly is.
267
That's something I think is going to become a lot of pressure for him.
268
And I think even he has said he felt like, you know, in a normal world, he probably would have delayed winning truth.
269
But he felt like he needed to get it out because his fans expected it.
270
And that was always something I never felt like there was a problem with him.
271
I always admired that he would keep his fans updated on his website and stuff.
272
There was a time when we were pissed off at George for not finishing a song of Ice and Fire.
273
It was nice to have an author who would communicate with you.
274
It was nice to have an author
275
that wouldn't tell you to go fuck yourself like Patrick Rothfuss would whenever you asked about when the next book was coming.
276
It was really nice.
277
Now it feels like he's got a schedule and he's got to keep to it.
278
results be damned.
279
And that can be very frustrating.
280
I'm sure the pressure's got to be just enormous on something like that.
281
How about the reports of my death are greatly...
282
exaggerated.
283
Now let's hear the real crux of did this series really fall off.
284
Or did the conversation just change?
285
Because I kind of think that's where it's at.
286
Look, this series is still massively popular.
287
It's the most discussed epic fantasy series out there.
288
Look, just go into BookTube right now and type in Stormlight Archive.
289
I'll bet you get Six digits, maybe seven in the results.
290
How many how many videos are there are out there talking about this series?
291
It is still the most talked about modern fantasy series.
292
Seriously.
293
I think it really really is.
294
It has me asking the question of did he change or did his readers change?
295
Because even I have said yes, I read Missborn back in my 2014 2015 or so and I loved it.
296
I I've read a lot of stuff since then, since I started this channel.
297
Explosion of different types of subgenres within fantasy that I never knew that I needed, that I loved.
298
Would I feel the same about Mistborn if I went back and read it now?
299
I have no idea.
300
I loved Mistborn when I read it.
301
I have no idea if I feel the same now.
302
So yeah, I think readers can change.
303
The more we read, you find a certain little niche within the genre that you love.
304
Maybe Standerson isn't the style you're looking for anymore.
305
Maybe you found something that kind of replaced that for you.
306
So I think that can happen.
307
I definitely think he changed a bit too, because there's no way you can read Way of Kings and then read Way of Truth and be like, this is the same author?
308
He's definitely changed.
309
it's been a long time was
310
that like 12 years difference of course things are going to change just a little bit
311
but his early books i felt like they felt fresh, they felt original, they felt explosive, they felt emotional.
312
And now the later books, they kind of feel heavier, a little more political, a little more fragmented, I think is how I would put it.
313
And, you know, I think the fandom is just matured, but also splintered because of it.
314
You know, certain people want that.
315
Others do not.
316
However, the expectations skyrocketed to something that no one series, I think, can sustain.
317
It's just that the fandom got so big, there's no way he could please everyone.
318
And when he tries to please everyone, he ends up pleasing no one.
319
That's a tale as old as time.
320
It's going to happen for some time, but I don't necessarily know that the series is really fell off.
321
That's like saying that something is overrated because you don't like it anymore.
322
It doesn't necessarily mean it's overrated just because you don't like it.
323
That's not actually what that term means.
324
And I don't think that this series is necessarily overrated.
325
I I think just the fandom has divided quite a bit and it makes it sound very Very loud.
326
How about Ars Arcanum, or as I like to call it, my final thoughts.
327
When a series grows in scope and the audience just kind of grows in disagreements, you're gonna get the kind of results that we have when you talk about Stormlight Archive.
328
Now, the divisor or the actions that you get one way or the other, you know, the super positive or the super negative.
329
Like I talked about my Win and Truth review.
330
Actually, what I talked about with my Rhythm of War review is you can
331
for creators you understand what i'm talking about you can go into your analytics
332
and you click on a certain video and you can see how many new subscribers or unsubscribers you had during that video.
333
My review for Rhythm of War, where I said it was kind of a mid -book, four digits in the number of subscribers I lost after being critical of that book.
334
On Win and Truth, which I felt like I was more positive than negative on, I had everybody pushing back and telling me I was too positive.
335
I need to be more negative on it.
336
So it's just like it shows how fast the audience for the series has really, really changed.
337
I feel like this happens with only every, every single long running fantasy series.
338
As the series goes longer.
339
you will find more and more detractors of it.
340
Like, you look at those first three books of A Song of Bison Fire, could do no wrong.
341
Absolutely.
342
You look at books four and five, nothing but complaints.
343
And it's not just about the weight with those books.
344
They're very different.
345
They're very different, those first three.
346
I see a lot of similarities between the two, except Brandon actually puts out new books, really.

So, I mean, some readers, they really enjoyed the raw emotional punch of Way of Kings, and, you know, some love the political depth.
348
of rhythm of war.
349
I think he just has two very different type of readers now.
350
Some want more Cosmere, some want less.
351
Some want the early magic.
352
Some want, you know, less series philosophy like he's really leaning into.
353
I don't feel like that's a doubtful.
354
I feel like that's a mature fandom wrestling.
355
with a living, changing story.
356
And really, honestly, guys, I think that's the sign of a series that matters.
357
And regardless of where you stand on it, yeah, the series does still matter.
358
Like when the next book comes out, it will be appointment reading for many, many people.
359
Some, like myself, I never say never.
360
Right now, I'm like, no, I don't think that I have any interest in continuing because at first, I don't think it'll be done before I give a shit anymore.
361
And second, I just feel like this series is kind of passing by, kind of like the new Star Wars.
362
Like, it's just like, it just doesn't, doesn't, I guess I grew up loving Star Wars.
363
It was a religion to me for 40 years, you know?
364
Now I look at it, I'm like, that's clearly I'm not the target demographic anymore.
365
I feel like that's kind of the way that the Stormlight Archivist went, where I'm not the target demographic anymore.
366
He has a new audience that he really wants to cater to, and that's fine.
367
Again, he has earned his chops.
368
He can do whatever he wants.
369
He became the top of the food chain for a reason.
370
He's got a devoted fan base who eats up everything he does.
371
And yes, he has dedicated haters who are going to take a shit on everything he does.
372
That's just a sign of being on top.
373
And that's why Stormlight Archive, guys, I don't know necessarily that I can call it a downfall as much as a fracturing, a splintering of the fan base.
374
And that is kind of where I stand up.
375
But what do you think, guys?
376
Are you still on board?
377
Are you still ready for the next book?
378
When the next book comes out, will you make it a point to absolutely read it?
379
Are you like me?
380
You're like, hey, think like I've kind of been pushed away.
381
I don't think there's any wrong answers here.
382
Except saying that the Stormlight Archive, it's crashed and burned, it's dead.
383
I think that's the wrong answer.
384
I don't think so.
385
what you think.
386
Am I far off base on this one?
387
Or is this series just too far gone to get you back?
388
Hit me in the comments, guys, and I will talk to you there.

نصائح الممارسة
لتحسين النطق باللغة الإنجليزية، استخدم أسلوب shadowspeak أو shadow speech بالتوازي مع الفيديو. حاول أن تستمع إلى نغمة المتحدث وسرعته، ثم قم بتكرار ما يقول بصوت عالٍ. ابدأ بالعبارات القصيرة وتدريجيًا انتقل إلى الجمل الأطول. استخدم المفردات والعبارات المذكورة أعلاه في سياقات مختلفة أثناء ممارسة المحادثة الإنجليزية. هذه الطريقة ستساعدك على ترسيخ الكلمات الجديدة في ذاكرتك مع تحسين لهجتك.
أثناء الاستماع إلى الفيديو، ركز على كيفية إيقاع المتحدث، خصوصًا حين يتحدث عن مشاعره أو آرائه. يعتمد تحسين النطق الفعّال على فهم التوترات وفواصل الجمل، لذا حاول تقليد هذه التفاصيل لتطوير طريقتك في التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية. ممارسة النطق بهذه الطريقة يمكن أن تكون وسيلة ممتعة وفعالة لتعلم الإنجليزية مع يوتيوب.
القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | has happened · it's been · has been |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | style, which can · those who are · people who maybe |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | are not allowed · were pissed · be damned |
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
