Agreed. I've read nearly all of Sandersons novels, and they are for the most part really enjoyable.

I'm kinda mixed on the standalone Mistborn novel. On the one hand, it would be kinda nice to see what the world would have become after the events of The Hero of Ages, but on the other I wouldn't like to spoil my own idea of what might've happened. The entire trilogy gave us a wealth of information about a lot of things, and The Hero of Ages (spoilered because of wording)

I do have a couple of complaints about the trilogy, mainly one or two annoying characters and a few odd things I can't quite recall, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

According to the Wiki, the Wax and Wayne books are a trilogy, with the second due out later this year, and there's apparently a video game in development due for a 2015 release that takes place in the ealry stages of The Final Empire (the Empire itself, not the book, so a couple of hundred years prior to the first trilogy).

I have not "read" them, but I have listened to the first one and I am on my way through the second one. I have a long drive back and forth to work, so I signed up to audible and just randomly decided to give these a try. They were hard to start as an audio book but I really got in to it after a while.

I am pretty excited about the whole series as well as the Stormlight books. I read some information that he is doing multiple different series of books in one universe that are all going to tie together. Mistborn and Stormlight being the first ones. I think it was something like, 36 books in total he had planned out for the whole thing.

Now, if only Patrick Rothfuss would finish the Kingkiller Chronicles......

I liked the Mistborn trilogy, and was very happy it turned me on to Sanderson, whose Stormlight Chronicles series is at the very top of my 'awesome reading' list.

The Mistborn setting was cool, but the new setting he is working with for the SLC is completely awesome. Never before was I so bummed to be through a pair of 1000 page books, where a select few wear what amounts to midieval power armor, and use swords that are as powerful as lightsabers that appear out of nowhere on command. Also, he topped Allomancy and Feruchemy with gravity manipulation

The standalone Mistborn boom is next on my reading list.

Well, there have already been several references to Elantris and the Mistborn world in the Stormlight Archive. From what I understand the Stormlight Archive is going to be Sandersons Magnus opus, around 10 books.

I would also like Rothfuss to finish his series. As much as I don't like Kvothe, I'd like to finish the series.

Scott Lynch is also back in the saddle as well, which is nice.
