I've not yet dipped my toe into the Sandersonverse, where do you recommend I start, in what order, and why?
I haven't read past the first book in the second Mistborn series (Wax and Wayne) because westerns bore me and there wasn't enough romance to make up for that and keep me engaged. I cannot adequately rate the second Mistborn series, as I've only read the first and wasn't too impressed, though I acknowledge the writing quality itself was fine. Except for the fact that I didn't enjoy it.
Definitely start with Mistborn. Despite Sela's ringing endorsement of the Stormlight Archives, I actually couldn't finish Way of Kings. I found it entirely too scattered and had trouble keeping track of why the hell any of the story lines had anything at all to do with any of the others. That gives me HUGE qualms about calling it his best work ever, and whatever else may be the case, it's definitely not light or quick reading, imo.
