Ugh. Well, sounds like I made a good choice dropping it...

The Sword of Truth series.

I read the first book as a teenager. I was rather skeezed out by the roughly one-third of the book that was a poorly-disguised authorial kink fantasy.

Then the second book had a lovingly detailed description of a witch gaining demonic power by getting railed by a demon.

For the longest time, Sanderson was utterly terrible at writing romance, and it was very obvious. A lot of it was probably due to a lack of personal experience. He's gotten better, but a lot of the 'lack' you're feeling in his writing probably stems from the same place. Despite writing about dark topics - apocalyptic events, oppressed populations, the failures of heroes, etc. - he is missing the edge that you get from other authors who write similar stories. Personally I don't mind, and I really enjoy his books - but I can understand why others would find them bland.

that s the jew book

With all due respect, no. Christians of all stripes quote the old testament ALLLLLLL the time to justify their actions.

Also, 'the jew book'? Are you trying to sound antisemitic on top of everything else?
