I read all the Mistborn trilogy, and as much as I liked the story, Sanderson's use of language is not of my liking.
I read many good reviews about TWoK and bought it for $2.99 from Amazon, but upon reading the first few pages I was equally put down by his "prose".
I intend to read it, later, but right now I'm enjoying Malazan.
Yes, read it! From my experience with Mistborn, once you get into the story you forget about Sanderson's ocassional mannerisms and use of modern colloquial language. I was just not in the mood the first time.
Let's give it to him: He can tell a story.
