Mistborn is a bit overrated on here. It is not a well written series IMO, and you can tell that Sanderson is starting to find his footing.

The magic system is EXCELLENT and well put together. Beyond that, I don't find it to be the best series, personally.

Sanderson has done great with Stormlight Chronicles.

Abercrombie is definitely awesome. If I was to recommend a series to GOT fans it would be Abercrombie.

Agreed. Mistborn is nothing special outside of the magic system to me. Paper thin characters and an average plot. That being said, Alloy of Law is pretty great as is Warbreaker. I've only read the first of Stormlight so far but it was very good as well. Sanderson has come a long way since writing Mistborn, particularly with his characters.
