The Kaladin Book Soundtrack based on The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson – Call To Action
Sometimes, when you work in entertainment, you take the gigs that will feed you. Sometimes, you take the gigs that inspire you. Sometimes, the gig pays off. Rarely, a gig can change your life. The Kaladin book soundtrack (inspired by The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson) saved mine. Literally. None of us at The […]
Brandon Sanderson Stormlight Interview
A couple of weeks back our good friends at Gollancz got in contact and asked if we’d like to interview one of our favourite authors, Brandon Sanderson. Of course, we said ‘YES!’, but because Brandon is busy we knew we’d only have a very limited amount of questions we’d be able to ask, so we […]

Brandon Sanderson Interview – Transcribed
Some of you will have seen this interview before. Until now, this interview had been a video interview that was available for download through YouTube.

The Way of Kings – Part One by Brandon Sanderson
