I just finished the first Mistborn book on audio. I thought it was pretty good. I also listened to the 2 Stormlight Archive books. I liked the "magic" system in both.

Yeah, the first one is good...but wait till you see how the 3rd one get wrapped up! Then you have to read The Alloy of Law and Secret History to see how it's tied into Stormlight. I loved the magic system in both as well. |

Checking in.
I just re-read The Stormlight series and saw much that I missed. I was hoping I would finish it closer to the release of the 3rd book in the series which I think is due in August. I"m reading a Dan Simmons book that I am borderline tolerating right now. I"m going to pick up Elantris and others post reading this book. After reading the Wheel of Time series I had much more respect for how he finished those up. He's a fantastic writer. |

Read the two Stormlight Archive books, they were great. Glad to hear the third will be out soon.

I also read that there will be another Mistborn trilogy that is set in the far future and is science fiction- sounds awesome!

I really enjoyed Mistborn. I read the trilogy and Alloy of Law but I think there are two more books out now that I haven't gotten to. The Stormlight Archive I loved. Really cool stories. I am looking forward to the next one. Sanderson is a really good writer IMO.

I enjoyed the Mistborn trilogy but I just can't get into The Alloy of Law. I'm about halfway through and put it down last week. Picked back up on the Wheel of Time series book 9 which I put down maybe 6 months ago.

Then read Mistborn Secret Histories. |

I've read the Mistborn trilogy and enjoyed the hell out of it. I read Alloy of Law but not the next 2.
I have not read Storm light Archives but I am thinking about it. I have read Warbreaker and LOVED it. I think it was the different magic system and the different heights with different enhanced abilities. |

I loved Mistborn but felt the second three books--the alloy of law trilogy--basically sucked.
The Way of Kings was awesome, but Words of Radiance was just not as engaging to me. I liked Warbreaker quite a bit--my favorite of Sanderson's early works. |

Yeah, you need to get over to /r/stormlight. All of Sanderson's books (outside the WoT books he finished for Jordan) all occur in the same universe, the Cosmere. There are easter eggs and puzzles all throughout them if you know the bigger picture, and the reddit page is the center of discussion about it.
His writing is a bit juvenile for my tastes, but not so much that I won't read them...they're very entertaining, and the whole Cosmere thing is intriguing. |

I read the Stormlight books after reading Sanderson's conclusion to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. (Both series are phenomenal) can't wait for the next Stormlight!
Didn't know about the Mistborn being tied in, will have to check those out. |

I just picked up the new short story compilation, there's a few new ones in there. Once I finish re-reading Hyperion I'll start into it.

I fell in love with Brandon Sanderson's writing while reading The Reckoners Trilogy. The Mistborn Trilogy has been on my TBR for awhile though, I need to get to it!

Hell yeah! I can't wait for the next Stormlight book. Mistborn was kickass as well.
If you are looking for something to tide you over, check out the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. If you really have some free time on your hands, read the Wheel of Time series mentioned earlier, or the Book of the Malazan series by Steven Erikson. The former gets a little bit tedious in the middle four books or so, and the latter took me a book or two to fall in love with, but both are excellent reads in the long run. |

Loved Kingkiller Chronicles but beware if you read to first two books you will join a LONG line of people who want to dickpunch Patrick "finish the motherfucking last book already" Rothfuss. He is really dragging it out. Also really liked the Malazan books by Steven Erikson but several books in it seems to have just gone off the reservation. I got lost and never went back to figure out where. I just stopped reading. I guess I should revisit it since I've read over a dozen books since then. |

He should keep his fucking books to himself until the story is complete. |

But there are supposed to be ten books in this series. So fuck that. In 15 years I'll buy the set and read them all. Only 3 books were left when I started WoT and waiting for those was bad enough. |

From what I heard a few years back he just gets mad when anybody asks and feels like people aren't reading his kids books enough. Kinda given up on it at this point. And Stormlight / Mistborn is awesome. One more book in the Wax and Wane series and then there's a contemporary and scifi trilogy set in the same universe. Excited to see how that plays out. |

You can see all the details here: Already got my free copy.
