Mistborn hands down. Apsalar Shadowdancer Send a noteboard - 18/12/2009 10:55:05 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?


or warbreaker, elantris is an okay book, but it definitely feels like a freshman attempt.

Mistborn. Absolutely. DREWRULESWOT! - 18/12/2009 11:47:10 PM 621 Views
I prefer the politics of WoT to most everything else. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/12/2009 01:00:34 AM 254 Views
The politics are good, yes, but DREWRULESWOT! - 20/12/2009 04:44:53 AM 568 Views
Elantris was good until the last chapter or so. Tashmere - 19/12/2009 12:56:47 AM 575 Views
Honestly? Neither. *NM* Chas - 19/12/2009 02:06:16 AM 239 Views
Another book, or is he bad? Your reply is not very helpful. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/12/2009 02:46:50 AM 264 Views
I would call him average. Chas - 19/12/2009 03:30:24 AM 658 Views
The 2nd and 3rd books of Mistborn were better. j-whitt987 - 19/12/2009 03:57:39 PM 564 Views
Rather strongly disagree with this. Jacob - 21/12/2009 04:41:01 PM 556 Views
I haven't read the rest of Mistborn so he may have improved there. Chas - 13/01/2010 01:08:46 AM 522 Views
Mistborn. *NM* Tom - 19/12/2009 02:28:43 AM 251 Views
You can try Warbreaker. wahooka - 19/12/2009 09:56:18 AM 539 Views
Seconded. A good (free) starting point. *NM* Artsapat - 20/12/2009 02:26:12 PM 240 Views
Personally... Phelix - 19/12/2009 10:13:29 AM 588 Views
Elantris was ok but... aria - 19/12/2009 01:45:10 PM 592 Views
I loved all four of his books. j-whitt987 - 19/12/2009 04:00:09 PM 536 Views
Mistborn is a better story, but do you want to read a series or a stand-alone? *NM* Palatine - 19/12/2009 05:45:37 PM 253 Views
If that mattered a lot to me, don't you think I'd already have chosen? Ghavrel - 19/12/2009 06:24:25 PM 596 Views
I would never dare presume how you think. *NM* Palatine - 20/12/2009 06:08:52 PM 247 Views
Aw, you're sweet. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/12/2009 09:35:45 PM 253 Views
"Neither" is the best recommendation so far, but I enjoyed Elantris more. Aemon - 20/12/2009 05:26:15 AM 514 Views
Oh dear. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/12/2009 09:36:38 PM 231 Views
Mistborn. I'm honestly surprised at everyone that seems to not like his stuff. *NM* Bryce - 20/12/2009 06:35:46 AM 238 Views
Mistborn...I enjoyed it a lot Ryan - 20/12/2009 07:12:32 AM 457 Views

Mistborn or Warbreaker. Elantris was neat, but I like those two better. All three beetnemesis - 21/12/2009 04:10:14 PM 572 Views
Warbreaker is better as a standalone. Mistborn if you want a series. BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 10:48:46 PM 631 Views
Ah, but the ending of Well of Ascension was so good. Darth_Katie - 22/12/2009 06:29:37 AM 561 Views
