I started reading Sanderson when I heard he was going to be finishing up Wheel of Time, because I was curious about his prose style and if he'd be able to salvage the slog that is the last 8 books of this goddamn series that I can't bring myself to give up on.
My first Sanderson book was Mistborn. After reading it, I was confident that if anyone can finish out the WOT series, doing justice to the story without getting bogged down in skirt-smoothing and braid-tugging, it'd be Sanderson.
Also, how can I NOT approve of a guy who procrastinates writing one book by starting to write another book? This is a guy who is not only finishing up one of the most celebrated (if slightly overrated) fantasy series at the behest of the Robert Jordan estate, he is also (simultaneously) putting out another trilogy of books (Way of Kings, each four jillion pages long), writing a new sequel trilogy to the Mistborn trilogy, and is likely working on a dozen other projects. When I procrastinate my writing I end up watching TV and picking my nose. One of us is doing something wrong.
I had no idea he was from Utah. Maybe he procrastinates by writing other books because the alternative is going out and being around other Utah people.
