He's come a long way since then, though. While I liked his early stuff like elantris and mistborn, words of radiance was just on another level. Can't wait for Oathbringer.

Yeah, I definitely understand that. Mat, to me, was a VERY different character under Sanderson, and I wasn't a fan of that. The girls were different, but I personally thought that was an improvement, so that didn't bother me. the biggest thing for me was that suddenly a sense of urgency and action returned to the series (by necessity), which was refreshing.
I definitely agree that he's gotten a lot better in the last decade or so. Stormlight is just incredible - that's a series I could see re-reading with each new release even if it takes another 15 years for him to wrap it all up.
