My last run with Brandon Sanderson was when I mainlined the entire Wheel of Time series over the course of six months.

I highly recommend his Mistborn Series. The newer set of tales is better, but the original is still good. The books are set about 500 years apart in the same universe, and I enjoy how the complexity of the themes increases as well technology. The original mistborn trilogy is more of a creation mythology (Literally, even) and deals with simple themes like good versus evil, the corruption of power, and balance.Â
The new ones (set in a comparable time period to late 1800s america) deal with less epic but more nuanced issues like the meaning of justice, order, and class struggle.Â
In any case, some company just dropped 270 million to make movies from his books. So I think everyone is going to be seeing a lot more Sanderson.
I FINISHED THE CURRENTLY-LAST MISTBORN BOOK TODAY
THIS IS ALL EXCEEDINGLY ACCURATE
THE FINALE WON'T COME UNTIL AFTER OATHBRINGER, WHICH WON'T DROP UNTIL FALL
IS IT 2018 YET
