So, about this Brad Sandysun guy. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 18/12/2009 10:34:10 PM
I heard that there's this new author in town doing this shindig with the new WoT books. And I figure I ought to maybe check him out in his own element before I check him out in Jordan's.

Checking out of up-and-coming authors aside, I'm torn between Elantris and Mistborn as my first reading of Sanderson. Suggestions?

Mistborn hands down. - 18/12/2009 10:55:05 PM 752 Views
Mistborn. Absolutely. - 18/12/2009 11:47:10 PM 734 Views
I prefer the politics of WoT to most everything else. *NM* - 19/12/2009 01:00:34 AM 298 Views
The politics are good, yes, but - 20/12/2009 04:44:53 AM 667 Views
Elantris was good until the last chapter or so. - 19/12/2009 12:56:47 AM 685 Views
Honestly? Neither. *NM* - 19/12/2009 02:06:16 AM 285 Views
Another book, or is he bad? Your reply is not very helpful. *NM* - 19/12/2009 02:46:50 AM 302 Views
I would call him average. - 19/12/2009 03:30:24 AM 764 Views
The 2nd and 3rd books of Mistborn were better. - 19/12/2009 03:57:39 PM 673 Views
Rather strongly disagree with this. - 21/12/2009 04:41:01 PM 662 Views
Mistborn. *NM* - 19/12/2009 02:28:43 AM 300 Views
You can try Warbreaker. - 19/12/2009 09:56:18 AM 651 Views
Seconded. A good (free) starting point. *NM* - 20/12/2009 02:26:12 PM 284 Views
Personally... - 19/12/2009 10:13:29 AM 696 Views
Elantris was ok but... - 19/12/2009 01:45:10 PM 695 Views
I loved all four of his books. - 19/12/2009 04:00:09 PM 643 Views
Mistborn is a better story, but do you want to read a series or a stand-alone? *NM* - 19/12/2009 05:45:37 PM 293 Views
If that mattered a lot to me, don't you think I'd already have chosen? - 19/12/2009 06:24:25 PM 705 Views
I would never dare presume how you think. *NM* - 20/12/2009 06:08:52 PM 289 Views
Aw, you're sweet. *NM* - 20/12/2009 09:35:45 PM 296 Views
"Neither" is the best recommendation so far, but I enjoyed Elantris more. - 20/12/2009 05:26:15 AM 619 Views
Oh dear. *NM* - 20/12/2009 09:36:38 PM 273 Views
Mistborn...I enjoyed it a lot - 20/12/2009 07:12:32 AM 570 Views
Mistborn - 20/12/2009 08:16:50 AM 672 Views
Warbreaker is better as a standalone. Mistborn if you want a series. - 21/12/2009 10:48:46 PM 747 Views
Ah, but the ending of Well of Ascension was so good. - 22/12/2009 06:29:37 AM 669 Views
