Don't forget to read the Alloy of Law, a short novella based 300 or so years after the Mistborn trilogy. It's absolutely fantastic. I like Mistborn, but you could definitely tell it was some of Sanderson's first works. The Stormlight Archives are, so far, some of my favorite fantasy novels.

And yes, if you haven't read the Kingkiller Chronicles, do so. Some truly excellent writing there.

Thanks!

I was told exactly what you just posted, which is that you can tell the Mistborn series was some of his earliest writing. However, for someone being introduced to Sanderson, the Mistborn series would be the best way to quickly learn his magical system.

His highly descriptive magic system more than makes up for what the books lack.
