Sanderson doesn't write deep stuff, but he has moments of incredible depth. In between, despite the word count of many of his longer series, he is immensely readable. It is easy to discount his work as pulp fiction from a distance, but underneath he tickles the tropes of fantasy fiction and gets right to the heart of the trope and its philosophy by the end.
I will say to avoid his latest short stories anthology it is best after reading everything else first.
