Brandon Sanderson books. Where do I start?

Mistborn series

Steel heart
rojo fire
12:15pm
Steelheart is a fun read...but mistborn is where I'd start to introduce Brandon's writing and story telling. So good

For someone who hasn’t been heavily into fantasy yet this will be a better start

A different author. Try George RR Martin

Dang. I just lost a lot of respect for you.

What can I say? I'm not a fan of his writing style.
byujacob

If you like George RR Martin and NOT Sanderson, I'm speechless.

I've tried several of his books. It's just not for me. I'm well aware I'm in the minority here.
byujacob

at least Sanderson finishes his series.

Elantris then the oldest Mistborn series.
Joe Banks

Emperor's Soul. You can finish it in an afternoon and see if his style resonates
joelvandyne
12:18pm
This is one of the best books he's written, of any length

Sounds like you should give it a pass based on your preferences.

Based on not liking LOTR? Modern fast paced easy to digest fiction writing makes LOTR tough for young readers.

Ready Player One is great (like you said)...made AWESOME by the narrator Wil Wheaton.
Preppy

I usually tell people to start with Mistborn, but you could also try

+1 for Tress
Huge Manatee
12:23pm
Tress is a lot more fun after the other Cosmere books.

Andy Weir. The Martian, Project Hail Mary
byujacob
12:23pm
Yes to both. Especially Project Hail Mary
Preppy
12:24pm
I liked the Martian. Going to try Project Hail Mary as well.
Tim Riggins
12:30pm
in addition to PHM, "Artimus" by Andy Weir is very good
fulano

I liked Artemis, but it's not as good as the others.

Warbreaker is my favorite stand alone from Brandon Sanderson.
Preppy
12:25pm
I’d throw in a different suggestion, The Sunlit Man
arnold palmer
12:25pm
Sure if you want soo many things in the Cosmere spoiled
touchdownbyu
12:27pm
I’d say Warbreaker. For now, it’s a standalone book so you won’t have the
babycarrot
12:26pm
I'd recommend Name of the Wind, but the author doesn't have the discipline to finish the series
darkcoug
12:47pm
One of my favorite books of all time, doesn’t even bother me that he might not
arnold palmer
12:50pm
Try Larry Correia Son of the Black Sword.
RJCOD
1:01pm
Or anything read by Tim Gerrard Reynolds
RJCOD
1:07pm
Also anything by Michael J. Sullivan.
RJCOD
1:15pm
I actually have that one in my queue to read.
byujacob
1:08pm
Read it now. You won’t regrets it!!
RJCOD
1:14pm
Reading this right now, very good
BYUNITED

One of my favorites.
RJCOD

Have you read Kingfall?
BYUNITED

Rithmatist is a fun easy read.
ShinobiCoug
1:10pm
More info would help, but I'd start with Rithmatist, Emperor's Soul, Steelheart
runnincoug
1:16pm
The best series is the Stormlight Archive, but I don't think that's the best
cougarfan84
1:20pm
Elantris is his most "boring' book though if someone doesn't love the genre
runnincoug
1:23pm
It's why I would recommend waiting until after reading the first 3 Mistborn
cougarfan84
1:38pm
I was talking with a friend who was having trouble finishing The Way of Kings
Kaladin
