I realize that doesn't mean it isn't good though, considering GGK is one of the best fantasy writers out there. I'll get around to it someday, hopefully.
If you enjoyed his stand-alone novels, I've no doubt you'll also enjoy the Fionavar Tapestry. It's really very good, and I don't want anyone to think I was suggesting otherwise. I simply enjoyed his stand-alone works better. In my opinion you can't go wrong with GGK, except Ysabel.

On the subject of Mistborn... excellent series. I really enjoyed it. Good character development, good pacing, good writing (with a minor personal compaint, the lack of hyphens in compound words), unique magic system... I'd say it's a must read for anyone that enjoys fantasy.
