First time hearing about this author - what's the hacker news angle here? From what I gather it is that: 1) he's a very popular sci-fi/fantasy writer, 2) it's an incredible amount of funding for a kickstarter campaign
I'm genuinely interested - for someone new to his work, where is a good book to start?
I'd say the first Mistborn Trilogy is as good a place to start as any. Warbreaker is another one that is a good starting point. Or you could dive right into The Stormlight Archives like I did (unknowingly). There may be other ways to do it too.
