LOL I’m the reverse. Started with the first Mistborn trilogy when it first came out, and really liked it, though his use of contemporary language really bugged me. Years later, tried the first book of Stormlight Archive and I hated it. So I thought I may have just outgrown Sanderson. Recently, found the first book of the second Mistoborn series in the library and decided to check it out. I absolutely loved it and I’m already going through the third book. His language still bugs me though. Nothing takes you out of a fantasy Western setting faster than seeing the word “micromanage” being used.

Money. WoT was probably the biggest and most popular contemporary fantasy series until Song of Ice and Fire came out.

King endorsed it, saying that the director “had not forgotten the name of his father”, which is high praise, so I went in gladly to watch it despite my earlier misgivings. I came out convinced that while King was a great writer, he has absolutely no taste when it comes to movies.
