I quite liked Mistborn - only read the trilogy.

I'm worried about reading the Stormlight Archive because it's unfinished and ASOIAF and The Kingkiller Chronicle have burned me in that regard.

Does it actually look like he'll finish Stormlight though?

Of all the authors I'm following right now I think Brandon is the most likely to complete his "work". The guy is a machine for writing, he's never let a year pass without a new book.

Of course death/accidents can happen to anybody, but I can't imagine he's going to suddenly drop his output, given how prolific he has been over recent years.

One of his nice tricks is to "relax" by writing different kinds of books, which seems to be working out really well for him.

I conciously avoid reading incomplete series, with only two exceptions and he's one of them. (The other is Steven Brust, who I've been reading for 20+ years. Slowly getting closer to the finish-mark there, the waits between books aren't as bad as with some authors, but they're still annoying!)
