Hello everybody!
My name is Ana, 24 year old. I'm Spanish (I wonder if there are any other people from my country around here), so don't hesitate to correct me if I make any mistake writing in English.

I'm studying architecture (almost finished! I promise! :D), I like reading, Japanese animation and manga... and WWW, I love being able to communicate with people all around the world, internet is the best ever!

I discovered Mistborn some months ago (I use to agree with NOVA's publisher, Miquel Barceló, when he talks about a book he likes... and he was talking wonders about Brandon Sanderson not being the typical fantasy writer, so I bought the book) and I loved it!

Then I jumped to Elantris, which was previously edited by the same publisher and I found its characters as alive as Mistborn ones, and the plot being as enjoyable as the other series but at the same time being completely different. I laughed, cried and enjoyed myself like crazy, which is what I want from a book, so now Brandon Sanderson is one of my top favourite writers along with Bujold.

Forgive me if the comparison is not welcome, I say it for the best: Sanderson and Bujold both have an incredible ability of writting about complex political intrigues while they present strong and believable characters. I feel they are part of a new wave of fantasy (/SF) authors with a different approach to the subject, and hope we can read more like this in the future. Not so "good vs evil+initiating journey" for a change, eh?
