For me it's Metro 2033 by Dmitriy Glukhovskiy, which is 500 pages long

Depend what you read, Sanderson is very uneven writer in terms of technique, but what draws people to him is rather his originality than his workshop. For example, i think his highest acclaimed series, the "Mistborn" is boring (still original but boring), first book have incredibly tedious action scenes and later ones while fixing it to large extent, don't manage to fit in something good instead so it's the same words but spreaded. On the other hand, Stormlight Archives, while much more wordy, are for me one of the best series i read lately. I also love his early single books, Elantris and Warbreaker. Also The Rithmatist, his version of scholomance genre, but better than anyhing i read in it. Lately in Poland they been publishing Skyward and its continuations but i think it absolute crap, his worst book.

I also hate Wheel of Time, Jordan was third rate scribbler who can't make interesting characters and instead is flooding readers with his sexual frustrations.
