Perhaps Sanderson's lack of need for Kickstarter is more of a reason to celebrate that nobility, but not everyone finds cause for celebration when Sanderson is bordering on being a household name. Whether audiences want to be critical or happy for Sanderson, one point that is hard to ignore in conversation is just how fast Sanderson successfully achieved his goal. By comparison, it's hard to say Sanderson exactly took a gamble on this new business venture. Martin, but his works speak for themselves, as do their successes. This is a sharp contrast from the average Kickstarter user who may be lucky enough to have $84 in their bank account as an aspiring author. Brandon Sanderson's name may not ring as many bells (yet) in mainstream circles as, say, a George R.R. There's a list on Wikipedia but I have no idea how complete it is.While his reason for not going through his publisher this time (more on that later) can be considered noble on the surface, this is still an immensely successful writer who doesn't necessarily need a Kickstarter.
#Which brandon sanderson books are in the cosmere series#
There's a lot of short stories published in anthologies that don't really have their own series name or title, and wouldn't really have tags to begin with.
But you don't need to worry about meta and tagging to answer this. The motivation for this question is this meta post - before starting to retag, I want to be sure which brandon-sanderson questions are actually cosmere questions. I'm looking for an exhaustive list of Sanderson's works, clearly split into Cosmere and non-Cosmere books/series. Sanderson's own website, as well as this SFF.SE question, both mention various books which are part of the Cosmere, but they don't state whether this is all the Cosmere books published so far, nor do they give proper lists of non-Cosmere Sanderson books. It's certainly not all of them, but I'm not sure exactly which ones are the exceptions. In the end, the Cosmere Cycle will include between 32-36 books.īut Wikipedia doesn't specify precisely which of Sanderson's books are part of the Cosmere. Because of that, he hides connections to his other works within each book, creating this "hidden epic". This idea came from his desire to create an epic length series without requiring readers to buy a ridiculous number of books. The Cosmere is the name of the universe in which many of Sanderson's books exist.
