Start reading Sanderson

I would second this. Sanderson projects release dates for his future books, and normally meets them: https://brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2016/

I remember reading an reddit ama by him where he said his process of writing is more of an architect style: that is, he develops the overall arc of the major events in a series, and then fills in the details in each book. This allows him to project book release dates 1-2 yrs. out.

I enjoy Sanderson, but I really enjoy knowing when the next book in an enjoyable series is coming out as well.

What do you recommend from him?

His website has a good list of ways to dive into his creations. https://brandonsanderson.com/books/where-do-i-start/

All the Cosmere books are really good. Warning though, Stormlight is about to release book 3 of 10. Mistborn is also actively being written, but the next book to be released is 4 of 4 for "Era 2". (the eras being self contained but building on the previous)

Elantris is the least well written, so read it first or not first depending if you want to lose interest in Sanderson, or be let down by the writing style. The rest are excellent though.

I think GRRM is raking in too much cash from TV to have time to really contemplate the myriad consequences of all the mixed loyalties and character crossings the story has entangled. I'm not surprised the books haven't been finished, and the TV series now seems to have the pedal to the metal with plot development, since they are out of time.

Disclaimer- I'm a mere show-watcher, and avid reader of gameofthrones.wikia.com :-)

It was after the 3rd or 4th I realised that it wasn't written by Ludlum himself. GRRM might have planned for something similar.

He has plenty of other great books!
