Thanks for replying! There was a period where I read a fair amount of Salvatore's Drizzt books (and I've played a fair amount of Dungeons and Dragons). I also read A Song of Ice and Fire, although clearly that isn't the same fantasy as this stuff. A friend of mine bought me Gardens of the Moon, but I have yet to read that too!
Recently I decided I should finally get back to fantasy, so that's why I picked up Dragonbone Chair (hearing it was an influence on Ice and Fire), and devoured it fast. I'm in the middle of the next one of that series.
Anyway, even though I know things like that, plus Tolkien, are all "classic" fantasy, and people like Sanderson and Erikson are doing something else altogether different. I doubt the complexity is something I'll have an issue with; it's just whether I'll personally like Sanderson's "style" enough to keep going.
