nah most of the locations are in the South Island and I am solidly in the North... I have been to Milford Sound though.

Thanks for the cookies and the upvotes, I am a fan of LoTR as much as the next guy. I loved the Movies, Loved the book of the hobbit but honestly, the actual trilogy of LoTR felt kinda stretched out... still good though... What books of Sanderson have I actually read? I read The Wheel of Time, Etlantris, White Sand, The Stormlight Archive, Arcanum Unbound, The Rithmatist, The Reckoners, The Emporer's Soul, Legion (haven't read Legion: Skin Deep... yet), and I have also read the assorted little short stories he has on his website. Basically everything except Mistborn, Infinity Blade and Evil librarians. I think I missed something but that's me trying to flaunt my Brandon Sanderson knowledge... Favourite one? Reckoners for sure especially the first book, I was sooo happy when he announced the sequels and though they weren't as good as the first it was a very satisfying read.

The Wheel of Time, not sure if it was mentioned already... or The Painted Man/ The Warded man by Peter V Brett

Another fan of Sanderson via WoT? Quick tell me the best character if you answer wrong you are not a true fan!

After all that if you are really committed you can read The Wheel of Time. It was written at first by Robert Jordan but he died around book 11... Using jordans story notes Brandon Sanderson wrote the last 3 books spectacularly finishing the series. Also on the note of related to but not explicitly Brandon Sanderson, You should try reading the Books: The Powder Mage Trilogy, the author was coached by Brandon Sanderson and it shows in his writing and world building, love that trilogy.

Sup, I am Lord Lion, I live in New Zealand and I have not read Mistborn. I first read Brandon Sanderson accidentally... it was 2013 Here I was reading The Wheel of Time and all of a sudden the writing became more awesome and the characters became more interesting. I went to find a place to tell Robert Jordan how amazing his books are just to find out he died a while ago... Heartbroken I researched into the man who finished the series some strange man named "Brandon Sanderson". A little more digging I picked up The Way of Kings and the rest is history. Anyway, Steel Heart is my favourite and blue is my favourite colour. Any questions?
