Trying to decide a new series to start after reading everything in Sanderson's cosmere universe. Heard Wheel of Time mentioned before and that Sanderson finished the last few books. For those who've read both author's what are the similarities and differences in and Sanderson. How they tell the story, set it up and end the book. Worldbuilding, lore, history, and secrets. Magic, dark magic, and evil. Mystery, suspense, imagination, creative, and original. Layers to the story, deeper meaning, philosophical question. A few things I like about Sanderson's style. To me the ending of a book is one of the most important parts of the story and I've seen so many great starts to a book not able to deliver at the end. A big part of why I like Sanderson so much is his ability to hook you from the start with a bit of mystery, build up the suspense, and finish with a brilliant ending that always has surprises. I like that he tells the story so there is mystery and gives you clues, some obvious and some less obvious, so that your trying to connect the dots. There are layers to the story he tells and usually a deeper meaning and reason to why certain things are happening. He just tells really interesting stories and I usually forget i'm reading a story because I get so into it which is kinda rare for me. Maybe the best thing to me is the worlds he creates. I really get into the lore, myth, religion, and history because it's so original, creative, and well thought out and it is a big part of the story. Good, bad, and in between characters, but also characters that are more mysterious
