I would try the Stormlight Archive Series, (Way of Kings then Words of Radiance), I think that is where his writing talent really comes out. I'm reading the Mistborn series right now and so far it is quite good.

He's not Shakespeare, but he's fun. He's above par for fantasy authors.

Potter is a great writer...if he can get past his first name

His writing has gotten better over the years. Elantris was OK, Mistborn was

Way of Kings is really good, almost on par with Patrick Rothfuss.

I think you're right that he's a better "storyteller" than "writer"

Elantris was a great idea, but IMO his weakest from a pure writing standpoint.

His world building and plots are second to none, imo, but his prose isn't as
