I actually thought it was a pretty well done adaptation once the horrible decision to shorten it into a single movie was made

If I had to pick one Sanderson series though, it would be the "Stormlight Archive" series (not yet completed, another 7 (?) books to go).

Kingkiller might have a bigger asterisk than Stormlight... I don't see any way the 3rd book lives up to the expectations the first two set - at least Sanderson has things mapped out! (And I agree Mistborn could work very well, or at least book #1)

And any of Sanderson's books would be great. Lies of Locke Lamora too.

Did we just become best friends?!? (Speaking of unfinished series) Lies is as good as any fantasy novel out there & that world is perfect for a series. Unlike many in the genre there's enough character development that an eventual disappointing answer to the big question wouldn't really matter. Off the top of my head Elmore Leonard is the only other author who could write dialogue that well.
