Since Mistborn, I've become a bit of a Sanderson fanboy, so if anyone is curious about his other books, let me know. Here's where I went from there:
- Alloy of Law - Quick read to ease you out of the Mistborn series.
- Warbreaker - Standalone book with a ton of political stuff and (of course) another crazy magic system.
- Way of Kings - First in a 10-book epic story (Stormlight Archive). It's incredible, but it'll likely be a decade before this story is done. (He's writing one every other year roughly.)
- Words of Radiance - Second in the series. Also incredible.
- Steelheart - Young adult superhero story where all the superheroes are bad guys. Not sure what I think of it yet, but it's an interesting change of pace.
