If you like Sanderson's Books you'd like them. Just read the first one and then
you'll be glad that there's so much material to look forward too. My favorite series period.

Should I start reading the Wheel of Time book series? It seems daunting

It is a bit of a slog. Sanderson only wrote the last 2 (3?). Still it’s pretty good if you’re an epic type fantasy fan.

2nd best series ever written. Right after the Stormlight Archives and right before Lord of the Rings

books 4-8 are a little slow at times. Book 1 is amazing all by itself, so go ahead and read that to see.

This. First few books are great. Middle books are a bit tough to get through, but ends well. It’s a commitment.

Have you read Malazan Book of the Fallen? Where do you rank that series?

Malazan Book of the Fallen is my favorite series, but I realize it's not for everyone.

I loved that series.

By far the deepest and meatiest series I've ever read.

Nailed it. I couldn't stop reading because the writing was so good, even when I didn't know what was going on.

It's fantastic. Not sure where I would rank it though. Maybe even with WoT.

Oh man. They are so hard to get through. I am on Book 8 and it is tough to pick up again. His writing is so

I fought my way through Elantris. Knew what was going to happen about 400 pages before it happened. There were

Way of Kings has the best payoff in any book I've ever read.

It starts off books 1-5 as the greatest epic fantasy or sci Fi of all time

Condensed down would make it the greatest possibly

You can also easily finish the first book before the season drops on Amazon.
