touch foxglove NOW I really don't know anything about this author (I read one of his books when I was younger and that's it) BUT I do know that a seething WIRED journocel wrote a very angry expose about how he is an neurodivergent and a total loser for various ill-defined reasons (didn't read). RDrama post here (if ur wondering why it says "heeheehaahaa" so much, its because the post author was chudded when he wrote it 
)
Basically, the WIRED journo hates the fact that BrandoSando...
has an air of confidence
made the author drive all the way from SanFran
is resistant to pain and refuses pain medication
anywho, BrandoSando fires back very gently. I thought it was well-written, if a bit mopey. It also makes the journo look like a complete butthole without focusing on the journo himself, which is amazing.
Summary:
Brando relates his experiences as being an "outsider", due to his faith and general autism
Brando explains that his numbness to pain is probably a result of his autism
Brando says that he doesn't want sympathy for this.
He says he writes because he feels things when he writes.
He is against "gatekeeping"

His books are serviceable shlock which puts them above 99% of the books you'll find in modern bookstore fantasy sections, almost all of which are made by bored women who are friends or relatives of the publishers and are just pooping their random thoughts onto a page. Sadly he's taken the woke pill and keeps putting more cringe shit into his books, we don't care that the sassy girlboss has magic multiple personality disorder brandon

Tbh if you like fantasy at all, it's probably because of the world building, not the prose, and his magic systems arefun.

magic multiple personality disorder is a hallmark of fantasy authors desperately trying to make a character interesting so probably unrelated to wokeness

Idk, I kind of liked what Divinity: OS 2 did with Lohse. Not the best character (
Red Prince, my beloved 
), but decent enough.
