That master’s guidance has helped Sanderson move ahead on his own work, especially his 2010 New York Times best-selling epic fantasy The Way of Kings .
Sanderson first attempted to write the epic story in 2002. However, after a couple of attempts, he said, he left it for a few years.
“I knew as an artist that it hadn’t worked,” Sanderson said. “But after working on The Wheel of Time, I went back, and this time it worked. I can only say this story worked because of my work on The Wheel of Time.”
Sanderson said finishing the series gave him an inside look at how the craft works. It gave him a grasp of storytelling and all the things readers don’t see behind the scenes in what makes a masterpiece a masterpiece.
