Hey thanks. Sweet timing.

I upgraded my eBook readers to non-Kindle devices, and I've been looking for my next DRM free books to buy.

I finished the Vorkosigan Saga, and almost everything by Corey Doctorow. I was looking for another DRM-free author to throw my money at.

Anyone have a recommendation on a good starting point for Brandon Sanderson's work?

Hey! I usually recommend starting with the Mistborn series, as the first 3 books are a self-contained story and aren't as long as Storm light Archive. If you want to start with a standalone book, my personal favourite is Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, but Warbreaker or Elantris are also pretty solid. There's also a collection of short stories called The Arcanum Unbound, if you want to start with some quick glances into the universe.

All in all, it doesn't really matter in which order you read, as almost all of Sanderson's work happens in the same universe and has subtle interconnections. Just, when you get to the Stormlight Archive, don't skip the novellas that were released between the main novels, they are actually relevant to the main plot.
