Question

Someone asked about corrupt religions in Elantris & Mistborn.

Brandon Sanderson

He mentioned that he teaches one class/year at BYU on sci-fi writing. He fears the misuse of religion, but that he presents “fair and balanced” viewpoints in his books. He also stated that “fiction helps you see through other people’s eyes” and quoted Robert Jordan: “I really like when my books raise questions, I just don’t like giving the answers.”
