5/22/2013

Exciting news everyone!

We just found out that THE RITHMATIST landed at #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list! This is the highest debut placement for an original work of fiction by Brandon Sanderson. This is his first young adult novel and it has already sold incredibly well prior to last week’s publication in the U.S., and will soon be available in the following territories: UK (Orion), Taiwan (Fantasy Foundation), Turkey (Dogan Egmont), and Bulgaria (Studio Art Line).

Last week the New York Times Book Review published their first review of a Brandon Sanderson novel, and had lovely things to say about THE RITHMATIST: “There are indeed secrets to be uncovered and the world to be saved, and ‘The Rithmatist’ contains some good surprises on the way to a pleasingly nifty conclusion.” Click here to read the full review.

We are all very excited for Brandon as he expands his authorial repertoire into the YA genre!
