Absolutely this. The first half of his first book in any given series always feels like it's going to lead to something amazing, then nothing. I feel like another writer could take his unique ideas and do something really cool with them, but I won't ever read Sanderson again.
Sometimes I wonder if he managed to wrap up Wheel of Time satisfyingly for its fans.
He did! But Jordan left extensive notes on what he wanted to happen and how things must wrap up, and Sanderson did not deviate from Jordan's narrative style. Within those confines and with so much plot and so many characters to wrap up it was a monumental task and he did a great job. I think it was the reason I became interested in reading more from him.
