Any time I see Mistborn on a list like this, I immediately become dubious about the person's taste and discount the rest of the list.

Whats wrong with Mistborn? Have not read that series but I did enjoy Stormlight archive.

For me personally it's the same as with all his series: they build up into something super interesting and then they fizz out with a compromising ending that feels like he ran out of time and had to throw something together.

Here I am on the verge of having my mind blown and thinking "finally, this is what it has all been about, now we're getting to the really good stuff!"... only to have things wrapped up abruptly in a way that's really unsatisfying.

I don't know what the hell is up with that, it's like he's planning for a whole other book and his publisher comes in and forces him to end it early or something.

After it happened three times I said that's it, he's not getting me again — it's too frustrating!

Yeah I guess I can see that. I do enjoy his worldbuilding though.
