Ask HN: 2018 Summer Reading List?

I'm a huge Brandon Sanderson fan, but find that Mistborn is a better entry point for people these days - though it (and the Cosmere) are among my own personal my all-time favorite fantasy books, so perhaps I'm biased in that.

I think Elantris was gateway-Sanderson for me. Read that in a day and have been hooked ever since.

That said, in hindsight a lot of Elantris feels pretty similar to Way of Kings.

I agree with this but feel the need to add that the Stormlight Archives is his best work yet

Wholeheartedly agree that the Stormlight Archive is the best. However, if you can’t stand cliffhangers, you might have a hard time since the series isn’t finished yet. The first Mistborn trilogy is complete—I’d start with that if you want a nice complete series.

Another Mistborn fan here. Should be made into an anime at some point.

I have to agree: Mistborn is an amazing experience.
