Stormlight, though Warbreaker is a close second.

Agreed. Mistborn is probably tied with Warbreaker

[Mazman he/him]

Mistborn. It introduced Hemalurgy, which is just a very versatile system that can be used to do a lot. It also introduced Feruchemy, which is a very versatile system, able to be used for just about anything, and can be used to make other people "Ferrings/Feruchemists" temporarily. And Allomancy, too. Those three magic systems together can do some pretty crazy things, and I love that. It also has a good story.

Skyward and Mistborn are close ties

[MasterGhandalf]

Depends on how you're judging "favorite". Mistborn (the original trilogy especially) is what introduced me to Brandon's work, and it has a special place in my heart that is unlikely to ever be challenged. On the other hand, by almost every objective metric, I think Stormlight is the more accomplished work. Since those two aspects can't really be judged against with one another, I'm going to go with a Mistborn/Stormlight tie.

Mustborn introduces the three realms, and is also complete. 

[Use the Falchion]

Mistborn easily. Stormlight takes second place and Skyward has fallen into third, but it's still a close race between those two.

Stormlight for me. It resonated with me and got me over some awful things in my life. The twist to Mistborn #2, and the ending to #3 was the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. I hope the conclusion to Stormlight 5 can match that.

Stormlight is my favorite book series period. Mistborn is second but not even close. I like Warbreaker, it's to short at this time IMO to call it a series. 

[Hoid-my-beer she/her]

I would have to say Mistborn is my favorite. It will forever hold a special place in my heart, as it was my introduction to Sanderson. I’d always loved fantasy; but I hadn’t experienced character development, world building, and magic systems like those found in Mistborn. It made me fall head over heels with all things Sanderson, launching me into the black hole that is the Cosmere…

And I don’t ever wanna leave 

 

[HippoPhileus he/him]

Stormlight. By far my favorite (although Mistborn Era 2 is really really good)

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Stormlight for me.  Mistborn was my introduction, but I can really relate to some of the things various Stormlight characters go through.

[Going_North_cal]

I had to pick Stormlight, it was what introduced me to Brandon, but Skyward was/is also amazing.

[AerionBFII he/him]

Stormlight Archive is simply head and shoulders above the rest, In my humble opinion.

 I read it the day it came out because the cover looked so cool. It was the first fantasy book that really rocked my world. I went in blind not knowing how my life was going to change. Every single line in it seems to have some quadruple meanings and layers of depth.

Warbreaker deserves an honourable mention, it is one of the first Cosmere books I read and holds a special place in my heart, I'd rank it over Mistborn if only Era 2 didn't kick so much ass.

No point typing out my answer. You’ve both nailed what I wanted to say haha

[chongjasmine]

I like Elantris.

[Captain Coffee]

Warbreaker.

[Boomslug he/him]

I have not been able to get a copy of Stormlight yet, though that is the only thing on my Christmas wishlist, so I can’t judge it yet. Mistborn introduced me to Sanderson, and it was the best literature I had ever read and it is the reason he is my favorite author now. So I would say Mistborn in first, and Skyward and other like the Reckoners tied for second.

[Captain Coffee]

Warbreaker is my favorite. Mistborn Era 2 is my second favorite.

For me, definitely The Stormlight Archive. It was the first thing I read from Sanderson. However, now that I have read almost everything, I think my second favourite might be The Reckoners.
