There's absolutely nothing different about this post than the dozens of similar ones posted by other fans. I've read a lot of SFF novels, and Mr. Sanderson is better than most at keeping his stories 'believably unbelievable'...internal consistency, good plotlines, yada yada yada.

I especially liked the way that he not only stepped up to the plate with regard to the Robert Jordan series, but has actually made it better -- the character viewpoints were refreshed relative to the past 4-5 books in the series (LoC was the last 'excellent' book before the latest installment. The others were 'good', but not in the same league as the first 5).
