Have listened to a lot of Sanderson and I'd agree with that assessment, "just fine" is probably the perfect way to describe how I feel about his books. Reliably worth the read, with some really great moments.
As to Weeks, I listened to the entire Lightbringer series a while ago and it was pretty good. Think I was annoyed as hell with Kipp though? Been a while.
Night Angel I started, but it's a bit too dark for my tastes, at least for the time being. As a general rule, I don't tend to love books where the main character's morality means I want him dead as much as his enemies. Main reason I can't listen to Prince of Thorns*, which opens up with the main character having his crew rape a man's two daughters before burning down the house with them in it.
Popular series though so I'm sure I'm missing out on some level.
(edit: Prince of Thorns, not King's Dark Tidings).
