This seems a good place to start here on the forums. I had been reading the Wheel of Time since about 1994 so when I found out that Robert Jordan had passed I figured that the end of his huge story would never be told. I moved on reluctantly. Then I read some interesting news about a guy named Brandon Sanderson. He had been picked to finish the Wheel of Time. Naturally, my first response was to go out and pick up Elantris. When I finished the book I turned to my wife and said, "I think I have found my new favorite author!" I ordered the first Mistborn book the next day and plowed through it. After I finished that book I was certain I had found my new favorite author. I then proceded to read every book he had in the market (minus the Alcatraz books. Don't worry. I'll get to them) and picked up each new one the day they came out. He has done a phenomenal job with the WoT and I am looking forward to that series ending. Mainly so Brandon can write more of his own books. Oh, and my wife is hooked on his books now as well.
