I was a Wheel of Time fan, so I learned about Brandon Sanderson when he took over for the final three books. I finally got around to checking out his Mistborn series and...wow...I waited way too long. I loved it.
Time to check out some more of his stuff.

I really liked it. It also was a fast read....I liked the characters...Very interesting twist on a magic system. It is a very good fantasy book, and stands well on its own...You don't really have to read any of the others unless you want to. I think the highlight for me is the very creative new magic system...it is unlike anything I have read before. Very well thought through, and although it has some holes they aren't enough to make you (or at least me) really question it enough to hurt the enjoyment of the story.
A-, Must read for Fantasy Fans

Did you ever finish the other two? Though I agree that they all stand on their own, the worldview changes dramatically in the next ones, so I'd strongly recommend doing all three if you liked the first one.
