I'm 3/4 the way through Words of Radiance right now and digging it. Read The Final Empire between these stormlight books and dug it, will probably continue that series once I'm done

Rothfuss had me on The Name of the Wind but The Wise Man's Fear was such a pile of shit I can't understand how it's even nearly as high rated as the first. In my knowledge that book is the best example of how a repetitive rhythm to plot events can literally kill you.

On the other hand it sometimes becomes clear in Sanderson's work that he's poor at one-on-one social encounters, or just likes writing awkward characters for some reason. His flow breaks apart in those situations, that's ne of my major gripes. I'd easily choose him to live anyway cause he actually puts a shitton of work into his writing--even if he fails at some point the man knows how to use effort well. Good guy.
