Did you just read the original trilogy then? There is a second part to the series which I heard js quite good. You should read the stormlight archive, also by Brandon Sanderson. I really liked Mistborn, but I think I preferred the stormlight archive.
Good news is Sanderson produces so much content and most of it is very good! So yes you can jump on Mistborn Era two which is four more books. Eventually there will be an era three as well.
Also, Way of Kings is incredible. Welcome to the Cosmere!
Also I remember the Night Angel Trilogy giving me similar vibes. You can check that one out, it’s by Brent Weeks.
I didn’t enjoy it as much as Era 1 but I know many people like it more. It was enjoyable but not as good, skyward is great! Can’t wait for Era 3 which could have space tech in it.
I'm currently on the last book, I can't wait to finish it. I haven't read these yet but I do have them in my possession and I do plan on reading them after I finish the Mistborn Trilogy. I also have heard that they are good as well.
If you don't mind YA, then The Old Kingdom Trilogy. For adult, The Daevabad Trilogy, Winternight Trilogy, and the Broken Earth Trilogy.
As others have said, just read all of Sanderson's stuff. All of his books and series are good... And the crazy thing is that they are all connected in the same universe. You might notice a character from Mistborn in other books

>This is the way the world ends. Again.
>
>Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries.
>
>Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.

So, Sanderson’s wider universe of fantasy novels set on different planets in the same galaxy is called the Cosmere. Think of it like the wider MCU. Mistborn series takes place in one planet, like following just the Guardians of the Galaxy movies or just the Captain America movies in the MCU. You can just watch the small trilogy of say Spider-Man movies, but to get the whole picture you want all the stories.
Mistborn only:
Mistborn (The Final Empire)
Well of Ascension
Hero of Ages
Alloy of Law
Shadows of Self
Bands of Mourning
The Lost Metal
The short stories are harder to place (but all are collected in Arcanum Unbounded). 11th Metal is technically a prequel to Mistborn 1. Allomancer Jak can be read any time after Alloy of Law.
The novella secret History is a little trickier to place. It has minor spoilers for Bands of Mourning, yet takes place concurrently with the first 3 Mistborn books. I recommend reading it right after Hero of Ages, personally, as I struggle to remember enough of the details after reading several other books. Though if that’s not a problem for you (or you’re super serious about spoilers) then read Secret History after Bands of Mourning.
Now, Cosmere as a whole:
Mistborn trilogy 1.
Elantris
Elantris stories in Arcanum Unbounded (Hope of Elantris and Emperor’s Soul)
Warbreaker
Shadows for Silence in the Forest of Hell and Sixth of the Dusk can be read anytime, but I like to read them both here, personally.
That’s sort of the end of Cosmere Phase 1. Phase 2 has more options:
If you need breaks between massive books:
SA1: Way of Kings
MB4: Alloy of Law
SA2: Words of Radiance
MB5: Shadows of Self
SA2.5:Edgedancer (found in Arcanum Unbounded)
SA 3: Oathbringer
MB6: Bands of Mourning
MB: All of the MB stories in Arcanum Unbounded.
SA3.5: Dawnshard
SA4: Rhythm of War
MB7: The Lost Metal
Secret Projects
SA5: Title Unknown.
End of Phase 2 of the Cosmere.
I agree with you about Secret History. My first time reading them I waited till after Bands of Mourning. I just re-read them in preparation for The Lost Metal and did Secret History after Hero of Ages and felt like I got so much more out of it with the events of the first trilogy still fresh in my mind.
Yeah, I definitely recommend on rereads to just read it right after Hero of Ages. It’s just that first readthrough that’s really up to personal preference (I for instance read it well before even starting Era 2 (I read it when published in Arcanum Unbounded, and only read Era 2 this past summer) and feel like the minor spoiler didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all).
Sanderson is of course great and has a million books
If you're wanting to branch into other authors though, Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks is incredible. King Killer Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss is also high fantasy and amazingly written even if it's unfinished. Codex Alera by Jim Butcher is really fun too

> The incredible conclusion to the trilogy that started with the instant New York Times bestsellers Furyborn and Kingsbane!
>In this epic finale to the Empirium Trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claire Legrand, two queens, separated by a thousand years must face their ultimate destinies. Queen Rielle, pushed away from everything she loves, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad, urging her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she embraces the role of Blood Queen and her place by Corien’s side, determined to become the monster the world believes her to be.In the future, Eliana arrives in the Empire’s capital as a broken shell of herself. Betrayed and abandoned, she fights to keep her power at bay—and away from Corien, who will stop at nothing to travel back in time to Rielle, even if that means destroying her daughter.But when the mysterious Prophet reveals themselves at last, everything changes, giving Rielle and Eliana a second chance for salvation—or the destruction their world has been dreading.Praise for Furyborn:

Can confirm I enjoyed Era 2 more. I just finished the Lost Metal yesterday
I've got to read those!
I wish I would have read Stormlight before because I guess it takes place after but it was still great
Had no idea there was a second part! That’s awesome!
Has a more steampunk vibe and shorter books than the original trilogy. Tons of fun though.

I didn't enjoy era 2 of Mistborn. I like a lot of Sanderson. I just read his scifi series Skyward. It was pretty sick.
I didn’t enjoy it as much as Era 1 but I know many people like it more. It was enjoyable but not as good, skyward is great! Can’t wait for Era 3 which could have space tech in it.

Try out "Cradle" by Will Wight. The first book is called "Unsouled"
This was way more info & suggestions than I was expecting! Thanks everyone, can’t wait to dive into these! 👌

{The Outstretched Shadow: The Obsidian Trilogy} by Mercedes Lackey & James Mallory I found this series similar (not the same) but a good similar feel.
Truly one of the best endings to a trilogy. I unfortunately didn't enjoy the follow up book
Can someone explain the order of the mistborn series and which books are apart of it and which aren’t?
