I refuse to read something from authors that don't have track records of finishing series after reading Rothfuss and Martin. The way GoT was handled should be a good indicator for TV studios that authors who can't deliver a complete story can't deliver a complete TV series. I already lost clout from my friends for recommending anything written by them when expected sequels haven't materialized in almost a decade.

On the other hand, Sanderson's Stormlight Archives made me actually like the genre again.

Yes Stormlight series, the highlight chapter being the kid who uses her superpower of 'awesomeness', that was great.

He turned that into an entire book, Edgedancer !

That chapter worked really well in the context of the book, I'm curious if it held up as a separate book?

It was decent but not amazing. Definitely one of the weaker entries in the Stormlight Archive, but hey, it's a novella so you don't expect much. You get more backstory on the "awesomeness" character.
