Greetings,
Obviously, this is my first post and I'm new around here, but not the point of this thread. I recentley starting reading Mr. Sanderson's mistborn series, because as a long time fan of the wheel of time series, I figured I should give myself a chance to get to know the author's style before the new book comes out. At first, I was hesitant of the idea, but I would have been in general anyway, no matter who was chosen. Obviously, I don't expect Sanderson's work to be the same as Jordan's, that would just be asinine, so I picked up the first of the mistborn series, and begun to read it. And I have to say, I'm impressed with what I've read so far. The setting is unique enough without being totally bizzare and out of the ordinary, and the story is compelling enough to keep you hooked. And while I'm certain the final WoT book will not be the same book that would have been penned by Mr. Jordan himself, I feel that Mr. Sanderson will do very well for the task at hand, and will do the series justice. I don't know if he reads these forums personally, but I just wanted to voice my opinion, as I like to give credit where credit is due, and just to say that you have certainly made a fan out of me.
Thanks for reading my rant of praise!
