Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson

First, before the review, I do have to make an apology. Somehow, I glossed over the fact that these novellas were written by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. This would include the previous novella I reviewed. I am sorry but to make it clear, it would be both Sanderson and Patterson who’ve worked on these, … Continue reading Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson

Novella Review: Sunreach: Skyward Flight: Novella #1 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson

In my curiosity to understand novellas, the most important thing I wanted to know about them was if it was still possible to tell a compelling story with far less words. But not just a compelling story, but one that was just as enjoyable as a book that might be between 300 and 400 pages … Continue reading Novella Review: Sunreach: Skyward Flight: Novella #1 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson

When I published my second book, it was January 2021 when the pandemic quarantine was still … Continue reading Author Musing: What I Learned Finishing my Book 3 Draft a Year Late

Story Musing: Writing a Clever Protagonist

One type of character I’ve noticed that’s been tricky to write has always been the clever protagonist. Typically a lot of fantasy novels resort to the protagonist unlocking a special power, summoning an inner strength (maybe the power of love, friendship, confidence, etc.), or just something that allows them to overpower the antagonist. It follows … Continue reading Story Musing: Writing a Clever Protagonist

Book Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea: A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson

This is not a book, on paper (ironic I know), that I should have enjoyed. There’s so much absurdity and randomness to it, strange conveniences and surprising developments, honestly things that few writers could ever pull off. Yet here we have a book by Brandon Sanderson that, not only includes all these things, but does … Continue reading Book Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea: A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
