Apple has proven with numerous shows over the past few years that they can be trusted with this task. Foundation, Silo, etc. Exciting stuff.

I do love reading Sanderson, even though his characters are quite robotic and video-gamey. Can't fault the magic system building or the action.

Yeah, the books are formulaic, but it's a good formula. "Act 1: Okay, here's a neat magic system with well defined rules. Act 4: surprise, there was an extra rule you didn't know about! Act 5: we killed God with the surprise, extra rule."

It's hard for me to fault Mistborn. It has the tightest ending to a fantasy trilogy I've ever seen. And then, as an afterthought, Sanderson somehow managed to end the Wheel of Time, which frankly I don't think Robert Jordan could have managed to do.

CobrastanJorji•15m ago
It was pretty much guaranteed to happen at some point. This is the author whose kickstarter for four ebooks that made $40 million.

Plus the universe just begs for an arbitrarily large number of seasons and spin-offs. There's something for everybody. You almost certainly start with multiple series of Mistborn. From there, you can go in dozens of directions. And there's a built in huge audience. It practically begs for high budget TV adaptation.
