this is brandon sanderson, right?

I just finished binging the mistborn trilogy. Despite its obvious flaws, I was somewhat glued to the series until the end.

Do people dislike Brandon? I thought his writing felt immature in the trilogy, that's for sure, but the book itself seemed aware of its flaws. I felt like Sanderson's writing could get a whole lot better, and his themes and ideas presented throughout weren't anything terrible. I enjoyed it.

I only just started up reading again recently, and I grabbed Mistborn on a whim, so it's not like I knew anything about him going in.

I don't generally follow or care about people's opinions on what I read, but I was surprised that I liked such a flawed and immature story. I really enjoyed some of the themes and characters. Maybe it's just because this is the first book I've read in ages.

Has anyone ever seen pdfs of these two books:
>How to write science fiction and fantasy - Orson Scott Card
>The writer's complete guide to fantasy - intro by Terry Brooks
The local library has them at one of their off-site locations, but it's a long weekend so I won't be able to read them until late next week. I have no idea where to look for pirated books (esp reference books) so if anyone could even point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
