Oh absolutely. And it’s not just Mistborn, all of Sanderson’s writing is deeply infused with thoughts on religion that are seriously considered and I find spiritually valuable. Mistborn is probably the most hard hitting to my experiences as someone who left Christianity initially due to its use as a cudgel against me. And the way that era 2 shows kelsier treated is very insightful.

Elantris hits pretty hard on its takes on religion where there are two dead gods and a religious war. Stormlight feels like a scathing critique of America and its Christianity with the Alethi also worshipping a dead god, but also deeply following absurd and stupid religious rules. They worship Honor and have none. It’s also a fantasy take on the author’s religion of Mormonism where you can see some of his struggles with it but also his valuation of it.

And that’s not even getting into Sanderson’s depiction of sacred violations of gender roles which absolutely must be noted.

Yeah I can really geek out about this. The only author to come close in speaking to me religiously is Pratchett.
