This is the guy finishing up Robert Jordan's WoT series, his series is very different, but really good.
I've just finished the first book of the trilogy, and it was excellent.

Its planned to be a trilogy of trilogies eventually. I remember recommending this series on amazon to someone looking for books, know it wasn't you but I've been wondering what they thought about it. Just finished the three for a second time yesterday and it was quite enjoyable

I read his standalone book, and his WoT completions - but not this series.
I'll have to read it when I finish the other 7 books on my desk.

wrong, the next book takes place 300 years later, in the same world. It won't center around the same characters. His own website continues to call it a trilogy, so that's how it stands.

are we going to call the dragonlance series a trilogy as well now? because those books don't take place all together either! who cares if there's like 50 of them. that profanity is a trilogy.

There are several trilogies within the Dragonlance series, Chronicles is indeed a trilogy, as is Legends and many more of them...

From the authors own site, seems pretty clear he is calling it a trilogy. Then again, what does he know, the hack

that's because Sanderson didn't give each trilogy it's own designation in the title. That doesn't make the story any less a trilogy, and the next book part of the next trilogy if that's how he has envisioned it.
But it still stands that HE HIMSELF HAS CALLED IT A TRILOGY ON HIS OWN GOD DAMN WEBSITE.
so you're wrong, deal with it.

and when he removes that #4 from the book listings, i will concede that the mistborn series is a trilogy. until then, however, it is not.

That would be me you recommended it to. I read all 3 books and couldn't put them down. I loved the mistborn concept. I even bought his new mistborn book, alloy of law. Haven't read it yet, but I am looking forward to it.

I really liked the first book. Loved the magic system and thought it was a great read.
The second book was a huge disappointment to me, thought it was barely average at best.
I hated the third book.
Liked the fourth book a lot. It was very good.
Warbreaker and Way of Kings are both very good reads as well.

currently on book 2 about 6 chapters in....so far I havn't really gotten into it.
but book 1 was a page turner...couldn't set it down.
Not 100% sold on his magic system, but it's got it's high points. I like the idea of the story centered around thieves and assassins rather than the A typical general+army+war.
So far it's been worth the money

Dunes, you might enjoy David Chandler's "The Ancient Blades," trilogy. It's got magic and fantasy stuff, but it centers around a thief.
