I don't really know yet if I like the SpellPlague. I know the FR as it was during AD&D Second Edition, and I could make the transition to Third Edition and 3.5 Editions, because they basically were only rule changes; 4th Edition and the SpellPlague are not only rule changes, but basically a reboot of the entire world, while some older characters surviving in one way or another.
"Hey, dude. You've been reading this stuff for 15 years. You know what?"
- "What?"
"As of next month, its not true anymore. You can forget everything you ever read about this subject. We're restarting."

Yeah...kind of like DL's Chaos reboot. No thanks.
I'll still probably read Salvatore's books, because I know he puts out a solid book, but they're not high priority.
I did read Sanderson's Way of Kings, picked up book 1 for like $2-$3 last year, but no rush to spend $12-$18 on the next book since there's like a huge pile of them still to come. Will grab it when it shows up cheap somewhere again.
