How do you only like Mistborn 'somewhat'...? It is like the best book series ever

I just didn't enjoy it as much as some people seem to have. I thought it was an overall good novel that was somewhat lacking in areas. Kelsier was the only character I really liked and most of them weren't very interesting or well developed (keep in mind I only read the first book). The dialogue in particular could get pretty bad at times. I really did enjoy the worldbuilding and magic system(s) though.

No, I only read the first book. I spoiled myself on basically every major plot detail of the other two, so I lost the will to read them.

I'll definitely read the other Cosmere books when I get the money to buy all of them. So far I've only read the first Mistborn and somewhere past half of The Way of Kings.

Well I'll say it before anyone else does, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfus. Some seriously good stuff. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is another really good one. Welcome to the shard Furugeru. (You're not a fan of Trigun by chance?)

Thanks for the recommendations! I had thought about reading The Name of the Wind sometime earlier but I am easily swayed by negative reviews. Sometimes. I'll give it a chance when I get the time then. Maybe.

I actually haven't got around to watching Trigun yet. I know it's one of those 'anime must see' shows so I'll definitely get around to it eventually.

And isn't it small? Seems tiny to me.

Hello, small internet community! I recently came across Brandon Sanderson by reading Mistborn and I enjoyed the book somewhat. I have also started reading the Stormlight Chronicles which I enjoy at least 1000x more so far.

I am just your average nerd who likes anime, manga, visual novels, light novels, fantasy and sci fi novels, video games, and history. And I have bad grammar, so sorry about that.

I was also wondering if anyone could recommend me some good books? I haven't been reading for a while, and some good fantasy would be nice. I've already read some of the more popular things, like Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones.

I have the first volume of Sword Art (go figure with my avatar, huh?)  I quite liked it and enjoyed the little insights that you couldn't get from just watching the anime.  I might have to give the others you listed a try.

You should try the Spice & Wolf novels. They are currently being officially translated by Yen Press and are better than most LNs.

I don't really like Baka Tsuki. The vast majority of the translations on that website are meh at best (not all, but most). You're better off just learning Japanese.
