Finished reading Mistborn The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson.

Started reading it April 9. An outlier for me because usually I finish a book fast or don’t continue reading it.

I started The Way Of Kings around Christmas time via rec from bro-in-law, couldn’t get into it for whatever reason at the time so stopped reading it, then decided to try Mistborn series instead to see if that clicked for me.

The Stormlight Archive series is not for everyone (lots of viewpoint characters and things going on and it only grows as the books go on) but I would recommend giving it another chance. Don’t know how far you made it but once Kaladin and the bridge crew get into their groove it really picks up. The Way of Kings is probably my favorite single Sanderson book (Warbreaker is a close second - Nightblood might be my favorite “character” in the Cosmere). That said, Mistborn is my favorite series (all 7 books are great - the ending of Hero of Ages is amazing) by Sanderson. Also, if you are interested in writing sci-fi/fantasy, Sanderson’s lectures on writing are a free podcast series.
