Brandon Sanderson / Re: What's a good follow up to Mistborn? THoA Spoilers.

I gotta say that personally I didn't like The Innocent Mage. I thought there was some potential there but it sort of felt like it had been somehow both over and under-edited. Some parts that I thought could have been way more conscise dragged on for pages but others that actually had some interesting story ramifications were crunched down to half a page or even less.
I never did bother to read the second book since the first one was such a chore for me to get through but maybe that's just me.
I followed up HoA with Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky(sp?) but it is a pretty different style of book. I think the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks is a decent follow up to Mistborn though I will warn that the second one is much better than the first. Not a challenging read by any stretch but still fun.
Also if you haven't read the Wheel of Time it is a must read, especially since EUOL is finishing it off.
