Jordan got sick and died, he deserves a bit of break on that one - at least he left notes and it got finished.

Yea that's fair. And he did release a book like every 2 years

Ya, I haven't found much comparable world-building series with the same scope. Is The Faithful and The Fallen similar to those two - haven't read that one.

The faithful and fallen isn't on the same scope of worldbuilding as Malazan and WOT (but then I don't really know of really any other series that are). It's more of just the overall feel of the series gave me a little of the old school fantasy vibe. But it's one of the better new series I've read.

Gwynne, Mark Lawrence, Miles Cameron,Peter V. Brett, Sebastien de Castell, Django Wexler, Brian McClellan, and Jon Hornor Jacobs (Incorruptibles series) are all kinda newer guys who have really good series, and more importantly, good finished series.

If you are looking for something somewhat close to Malazan to a certain extent I'd say Glen Cook's Black Company books are very good and close there. Erikson basically got the idea for the Malazan company soldiers from being a fan of those books.

Elantris is good. It's obvious that it's his first novel and it's a little rough but the world and magic system is very much Sanderson. There is no one who handles magic better than that man.

I'll pick up Warbreaker soon after I finish Wax and Wayne.

I've heard about Reckoners but it's never really interested me. Maybe I'll give it a shot

The characters in Elantris.... well they're not great. But it's an interesting premise with an excellent world and Sanderson magic.

Plus a standalone fantasy story is such a breathe of fresh air. Sometimes you don't need 3-18 books and 20 years to tell a good story

I've seen a lot of people mention Sanderson, he's one of my favorites, but I haven't seen many mention The Reckoners series and yes, it's finished! It's a Superhero trilogy set in a post-apocalyptic world. I really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it. 1st book is named Steelheart.

Guys, I have an issue.

Around 2 years ago, I started reading WOT. I got to around halfway through book 4 and then stopped because I started getting distracted with other books and stuff. I have probably forgotten a lot of stuff so far.

I don't feel like rereading the first 4 books, so what can I do to "refresh my memory" on the series and jump back in where I left off? Is the WOT wiki good enough?

So guys I just finished reading the Wax and Wayne Saga of the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. I can't recommend it enough. So much fun

Sanderson is super easy reading.

Oh its totally worth it, especially on the re-read. Rarely do i close a book and just sort of sit and think about what I just read - but is happens in nearly every Malazan Book at some point.
