Though he hasn't finished this series quite yet, I can say with total confidence that Sanderson is a once-in-a-generation storyteller, and if you like epic tales of any kind, you'll love spending hours in his worlds.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
