Mistborn series is fantastic so far. Currently what I am reading...

Red Rising series was great. One you can't put down.

Steelheart series was ok but nothing great.

Excited to try out the kingkiller

The first Kingkiller is kind of slow but it is enjoyable.

If you are a fan of audiobooks then I suggest listening to the following:

First Law Series (and the 3 stand alones) by Joe Abercombie (N: Steven Pacey)
Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown (N: Tim Gerard Renyolds)
Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson (N: Michael Kramer)
Magic 2.0 Series by Scott Meyer (N: Luke Daniels)
The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne (N: Luke Daniels)
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (N: James Marsters)
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (N: Wil Wheaton)

The narration of these books is excellent.

It's awesome although I didn't love the ending, still very good.

For me, the Red Rising Trilogy (assuming we'd consider that fantasy and not sci-fi) is as good or better than anything mentioned so far IMO. It's an incredible world with awesome characters.

They also do a fantastic job of truly creating a trilogy with a true end. This is my biggest pet peeve with fantasy as 90% of them never give you true conclusions as they're always looking for the spinoff. There were still some things that could be addressed after the Red Rising Trilogy ended, and I'd probably ready whatever they put out next; but they gave me a true, satisfying ending, and I appreciate that these days when it comes to fantasy works.
