I personally hated Brandon's works because his prose feels dead; it feels purely functional. I tried other stories of his but the prose is always the tripping point (oh, also the video game mechanics). Good prose should feel like your mind comes alive in vivid colors with the beautiful use of literary devices and such. Brandon's works on the other hand are just simply functional and little else.
It's a stylistic choice rather than being a bad writer. Read Tress of the Emerald Sea, his latest book and see that. But pirate it because he is Mormon and tithes to homophobic church, despite being decent with queer rep in books

The fact he able to be an adult about it when it was pointed out his representation was lacking was cool.
It makes him better than 90% of creators :agony:
