If you like fantasy and haven't read any Brandon Sanderson then do yourself a favour and get on it!
My personally favourites are the Mistborn books but it isn't exactly an easy choice because literally everything he writes is great in my experience.
I just finished Tress of the Emerald Sea which is a shorter standalone book but still great!
I'm also all in on the Cosmere books, I'm halfway through the Stormlight Archive and it's amazing!
I've got "Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians" to read next but I'm not sure if that is a cosmere based novel or not. Either way I'm sure it'll be good though!
From what I know, it's not Cosmere based. It's also targeted to a younger audience, so the writing might feel different.
Ah thanks for the info. I'll still give it a try though :)
Almost done stormlight archives. Have you done that? I have the first mistborn book but haven't started it yet. Looking forward to it though.
I have indeed, although not the newest book that was released more recently. I want to go back and read everything again but that is quite a time commitment before doing the new book and I'm not ready for that just yet :D
It is very much on par with Mistborn in terms of the story and writing, I just prefer Mistborn that little bit more because I love the concept of the magic system in that but honestly there isn't a lot in it.
