He&amp;#x27;s such a phenomenal author in the fantasy genre. I&amp;#x27;ve read most of his series at this point and they are all great. Mistborn and Way of Kings being favorites.</text></comment>

Books 10-12 really pick up the pace again. I believe that&amp;#x27;s when Sanderson took over for the late Robert Jordan.&lt;p&gt;If you enjoy somewhat grittier fiction, I would suggest Joe Abercrombie&amp;#x27;s The First Law trilogy.</text></comment>
