His latest in his Stormlight Archive series landed today and Overdrive is no longer allowing MP3 downloads, the rat bastards!
I haven't read the Stormlight series, but "The Mistborn Trilogy" was a excellent. It will join a few other series as perennial re-read material.
Sanderson not only creates well-thought-out worlds and magic systems, but also creates wonderful characters.
Mistborn trilogy?!? That was but the first arc. There are 7 books (and counting) in the series, and a few shorts in his Cosmere Collection. The second arc, set in an 1800's wild west era, is finished, and the third arc, set in a modern era is reportedly coming. If you ever look at the ambitious scope of his Cosmere, of which the Mistborn and Stormlight series are but parts, you'll see he's unlikely to live long enough to complete it.
