Got Sanderson's series next on my list, came highly recommended. Did you finish them yourself?

For Sanderson, he's only got 2 books of the Stormlight Archive out so far. He plans on 5, and then another 5? Not sure I understand exactly why he doesn't say 10, there may be a time gap or something like that I guess. I've read both of those and can confirm that they're really good. If you're more accustomed to the gritty style of writing like George RR Martin then you might find his writing kind of juvenile? Not sure if that's the right word, but it's definitely more family friendly and vanilla.
That said, the world itself is very well constructed and believable and the characters are a lot of fun. It's definitely shaping up to be one of the classics.
The only other Sanderson book I've read would be Warbreaker which is a stand alone. However from what I understand, nearly all his books occur in the same universe he calls the Cosmere.
