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!

    I love Sanderson's writing style. The way he builds up the characters and environment is unparalleled imo. That and the vastness and variability of his magic systems really keeps everything fresh. There are a couple non Cosmere or at least not intertwined novels that are great too. During the pandemic he wrote 4 books in one year. Absolutely insane. Yumi and the Nightmare painter was maybe my favorite of them, but I'd recommend all of them.

    I'm gone through his YA work with Janci Patterson, and it's good, but too juvenile for me.

    The other authors and books I listed I was chasing Sanderson like work. None of them are quite there but I know that hes praised at least the powder mage series.

    Another one I forgot to like was Brent Weeks: Lightbringer Saga. I want to say Brent was a student of Brandon's. The magic system feels like something he would write, but the writing isn't quite as mature. It was still a good series and worth a read.
