I’ve been reading his work. Mistborn, Warbreaker and some short novellas in between. Now I’m halfway into The Way of Kings and loving it. Saving your comment for possible future reference!

Brandon Sanderson is a genius, and I read through the entire cosmere in a little over a year after not reading a whole lot for years. As for reading order, it doesn’t matter quite as much as people sometimes say. There are two standalones that don’t really work as a starting point (Sunlit Man and Isles of the Emberdark), but the rest works great. You can even start with Stormlight Archive if the sheer size of the books doesn’t scare you off.

I read both mistborn and a large part of the stormlight series, though the latter I never finished because books were still coming out at the time. The first Mistborn book is great and can in my opinion even be read standalone if you don’t want to commit to a whole series. I also just finished Yumi and the Nightmare painter which I found pretty good. Gentleman Bastards and the First Law Series are two more series that I’ve had on my readlist for quite some time now. Kingkiller chronicles I remember also finding pretty good back when I read it, though I am a bit miffed that it still isn’t a finished series. The Licaniud Trilogy is the one with the book “The will of the many”? If so that’s anothet series on my readlist. I am starting to think we have a pretty similar taste in books ;D

I love Sanderson, his books have great settings and magic systems, his female characters are well written, and he actually puts out books and finishes series
