I have Elantris a shot because of all the hype I’d heard about Sanderson. I’ve since heard he gets better, which I hope is true, because Elantris was an insufferable snooze fest starring Princess Lisa Simpson, a thinly veiled Christian metaphor in the form of Lord Spirit, and some of the laziest worldbuilding I’ve ever encountered. Have not gone back for more

I’m not even much of an AH admirer, but anon is objectively correct. When a political leader is the object of a generations-spanning campaign of moral mythology that casts him not as a political leader, or even as a bad political leader, but as Satan incarnate, then, yes, by any rational metric, that political leader / painter / author is over-hated.

I don't hate him, I just think his writing style is not very good. For that I find his popularity vastly overrated, but as a person he seems like a nice guy. I watched his 11 hour lecture videos on Youtube and he would be a fun teacher to have.

its enjoyable but I really started tuning out in the later books when it becomes way too much about the magic system. Also quite forgettable for most part but there are some kino moments.

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
