Brandon Sanderson, author of The Final Empire and The Way of Kings, as well as literally dozens of other works, was at C2E2 2024 - and we couldn't have been more excited.

First of all, it's exciting that Sanderson has any time at all to head to a convention with all the many projects he's got in the works, but with a new novel out this December, Wind and Truth, the author's appearance was even more special.

Popverse recorded Brandon Sanderson's entire panel, hosted on the C2E2 2024 Main Stage, powered by C4 Energy. That's right, you can listen to Sanderson do a short reading and answer some fan questions on this very page. So if you didn't make it to C2E2 2024, don't worry - you can still get a sneak peak at the latest Mistborn novel and hear from its creator right here on Popverse.

Popverse is filming this and many other panels in Chicago for C2E2 weekend this year - and you can watch all of them by becoming a paid Popverse member. While some are available free, many are an exclusive benefit to paid Popverse members as part of a gigantic package which includes early access to convention tickets and celebrity opportunities for C2e2 (as well as New York Comic Con, MCM Comic Con, and Emerald City Comic Con), first-look at articles from the Popverse team, and an arcchive of over 200 panels from previous events including C2E2, NYCC, ECCC, MCM, and Florida Supercon.

For now though, here's the Spotlight on Brandon Sanderson panel from C2E2 2024:
