      Same for Sanderson. It seems like he tries to subvert expectations at the end of every book 2 but he only ends destroying everything he’s established.

      I completely stopped reading his stuff when I found out that he is a Mormon and graduated from BYU.

          It’s owned by the Mormon church. It has a history of expelling female victims of SA and racism. Freshmen are required to read a talk by one of their church’s apostles that basically says they may have to resort to violence to keep “woke” away.

          The church itself is misogynistic, homo- & transphobic, and racist (not officially anymore but it’s so integrated into the culture that it’s never going to go away).
