I'm not a big reader, but I gave Warbreaker by Sanderson a shot based on a coworkers recommendation and was not impressed. They're recommending Mistborn next and I'll likely read the first book just to have convos and I like the idea of fantasy heists.

I've heard good things about Sanderson, but the characters in Warbreaker were so generic and boring, until things picked up after like chapter 35 of 50. The magic system wasn't explained till late, and the politics didn't seem well written.

What should I actually be reading fantasy wise /sffg/?
