Hello, friends! In this special episode of What's Tom Reading? I get a little bit weird about how much I love Brandon Sanderson, talk about his books, his characters, the worlds he has built, and honestly probably a little bit too much in detail about the magic systems. Some of you asked me to do more reviews on fiction books and this is what has come of that process. I hope you like this episode and honestly, I hope it makes you want to go out and pick up a Brandon Sanderson novel at your earliest convenience!If you like the show, please feel free to share it with someone who you think might get a kick out of it.
