Robert Jordan/ Brandon Sanderson

[Mistborn]

In my personal opinion, these two authors are absolutely brilliant. The characters they create in their fantasies are always original, their books, for the most part, never drag on. The visuals they impart to me when I read their books, are amazing as is their plots/twists/climaxes. I can't express enough how much I love their books. Wheel of Time ( Robert Jordan ), Elantris/Mistborn/Warbreaker ( Brandon Sanderson.)

I love Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I started reading it 18yrs ago and still love it. He gives so much detail to everything.

Haven't read any of his works.. If you were to choose one work, what would that be?

[dragonflower]

I would suggest starting w/ book one in the Wheel of Time Series, The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan.

Sure, I'll start with that one. Thank you

I have friends who love Brandon Sanderson, so I started reading him. I love everything I've read by him, he creates really awesome, complex, and consistent systems of magic, a different one in each book, too. And he writes some of the most interesting characters and worlds. I really wish I was Mistborn, it just seems like it would be so cool. I also read and really liked Alloy of Law and The Emperor's Soul. I recently read the first two books in the Stormlight Archive, which is similar to Wheel of Time and Sanderson is planning on writing 10 books total for the series. He also writes so fast, it's incredible. His books are really long and he still published like one a year. So impressive. He should give GRRM some lessons.
