…http://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2015/may/20/fanta... And I would cite Brandon Sanderson as a good example (and good counter-example to the original article) - smaller ideas get novellas (Legion, Emperor's Soul), medium-sized ideas get novels (Elantris, Rithmatist, Warbreaker), epic ideas get large novels in series(Mistborn, Way of Kings). All excellent, by the way...
His first book Elantris is also very good and well worth your time. A good starting point for his work and a self-contained novel (although he had mentioned writing two more Elantris books in the distant future).
> They are his main series, and generally regarded as his best stuff. I think Elantris is his best. It's just that there's less of it (one book) than there is of the big series.
…well in the long run. Also, if you haven't read the Mistborn trilogy, I highly suggest it. It's a great, unique setting, and I had a great time with it. Finally, his other books are great as well. Elantris and Warbreaker, each different, and great for single novel stories. I'm a big fan of the long arcs of great epics, but these one-off's were well worth the time invested. Basically, he's an author that…
…Stormlight is about to release book 3 of 10. Mistborn is also actively being written, but the next book to be released is 4 of 4 for "Era 2". (the eras being self contained but building on the previous) Elantris is the least well written, so read it first or not first depending if you want to lose interest in Sanderson, or be let down by the writing style. The rest are excellent though.
……关于百万富翁生活与习惯的统计分析得出的结论。《深度工作》（Deep Work）对我的工作习惯产生了立竿见影的改变，就像前者对我的财务状况一样。如果你想看本轻松有趣的奇幻小说，布兰登·桑德森的《伊岚翠》（Elantris）是我最喜欢的单本完结小说之一。

他的第一本书《Elantris》也非常好，很值得一读。这是他作品的一个很好的起点，而且是一部独立小说（尽管他提到过在遥远的未来还会写两本《Elantris》）。

……从长远来看。另外，如果你还没读过《Mistborn》三部曲，我强烈推荐。它的设定很棒、很独特，我读得很开心。最后，他的其他书也很棒。《Elantris》和《Warbreaker》，各有不同，都适合作为单本小说故事。我是长篇史诗的忠实粉丝，但这些单本作品也很值得投入时间。基本上，他是一位……

……《飓光志》（Stormlight）十部曲里的第三本马上就要出了。《迷雾之子》（Mistborn）也正在火热连载中，不过下一本要出的是“第二纪元”的第四本完结篇。（各个纪元各自独立但又承接前作）《伊岚翠》是写得最不成熟的一本，所以根据你想不想被劝退，或者会不会因为文笔而失望，来决定是先读它还是后读它吧。不过其他的都精彩绝伦。
