Haha I know, it's just the latest book I read of him and made an impression. And the first I read after he completed the Wheel of Time series. Which got me interested in him as a writer.

I don't remember if I've read Mistborn nor Stormlight, they sound familiar but I'm far more into sci-fi than fantasy. 

Then be happy to know he's starting to write some sci-fi as well! He wants his stories to process over the eras, with some getting into a space era

First Mistborn was placed in something that looks like old regime France (1400~1500). Second era is a Western, after industrial revolution with a bit of steampunk (late 1800 to early 1900)

He's writing the first book of his third trilogy and will only release it when he finishes the third according to him by 2027. It will have a 80's level of technology 

The next two trilogies will be a Cyberpunk-like, and the last one will be a Space Opera

He already have a book that is scifi-lite, Yumi and the Nightmare Painting

Nice. I've been running out of Peter Hamilton books (hence rereading LotR and Discworld series) and waiting for him to write Exodus.

Brandon Sanderson is on my list to exhaust next :)

I was reading Game of Thrones as well, never got into the TV show though and George Martin seems to have gotten bored of the series. I was kinda getting bored of it as well by book 5 lol.

Looking through my book collection (mostly mangled paperbacks from reading outside :/) I've also read a lot from
Greg Bear (Hull Zero Three comes first to mind but have read most of his work)
Alistair Reynolds (Revelation Space, Redemption Ark etc)
Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth)

I also really enjoyed Time's Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter as well. Sci-fi and history mixed together.
