Reply to comment by Goseki1 in after ASOIAF and kingkiller I dont dare to start reading unfinished series, I wonder statistically how much people are same and if it sffects other authors? by [deleted]

Four are out. The next one is the end of era 1 so will be an enclosed story.

Ah my bad, so book 5 next year should sort of finish the current story arc? And then a time skip and the next 5 books will focus on other characters (with some appearances form current characters)?

Pretty much. That's how Mistborn worked, 300 year time skip and honestly don't really need to read era 1 to get era 2 besides some terminology stuff

300 year! Holy fuck. I Dunno how i feel about a shift to focusing on new characters, i like the ones he's set up in the first 2 books I've read so far.

Everyone's story comes to an end eventually. Heroes pass into legend and shape the lives of future generations who become heroes unto themselves.

Plus with regards to Stormlight. Give Kaladin a break, homie has been through enough. At the end of Mistborn I definitely found myself going "I think they've earned a retirement"
