David Farland creëert epische verhalen die lezers onderdompelen in werelden van ingewikkelde magie en weidse conflicten, waarmee hij zich vestigt als een meesterverteller. Zijn schrijven verkent vaak thema's als macht, lot en de gevolgen van keuzes, gepresenteerd door middel van meeslepende personages en rijkelijk voorgestelde settings. Farlands verhalende vaardigheid strekt zich uit tot sciencefiction, waar hij speculatieve toekomsten onderzoekt met een vergelijkbare focus op menselijke strijd en veerkracht. Zijn werken worden geprezen om hun ingewikkelde plots en hun vermogen om lezers te betrekken met diepgaande vragen over de aard van heldendom en lot.
