Hmm, i’m planning on reading The Stormlight Archive soon, but I just read all of the 7 Mistborn books recently and thought they were great! Love how the “magic” system is being developed, and the ties to the overall Cosmere. Not sure if TSA is a step down from that or what, guess I’ll find out.
If you enjoy his other books, you'll likely enjoy the Stormlight Archive. Though I found the setting to be extemely dull, my criticisms of him are based largely on his prose and overall style of writing. It feels flat and mechanical, but if you didn't arrive at that opinion during Mistborn, then you should be set to enjoy these books like the vast majority of others do.
Ahh okay, well I do tend to lean more towards the mechanical systems and a generally more goofy tone, I suppose. I also appreciate that he actually explains things that other authors would be like “HMM HMM HMMMMM, I think I’ll play coy and leave it up to the reader to decide what THAT actually meant!” No, for the most part I like things put into plain English. Speculation is exhausting and unsatisfying. But I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
