Currently rereading A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan. I've read the series up to 9 just have never gotten around to actually finishing it. This time around I am bound and determined to finish the series.
I agree with /u/tehdiplomat, but its worth it to finish. After that, try the Stormlight Archives series, by Brandon Sanderson. It's only on book 2, but it is planned to be a long series like Wheel of Time.
I really enjoyed the first Mistborn trilogy, they were fun reads. I also enjoyed the first three books of the Wheel of Time, but started losing interest after that.
Would you recommend starting the Stormlight Archives over continuing the Mistborn series with 'Alloy of Law?'
You can read Alloy of Law, but Stormlight Archive is absolutely amazing. The growth Sanderson has had as a writer is pretty noticeable between the two series, especially if you read them close together. I picked up his Mistborn trilogy after I finished Words of Radiance, and, while I like Mistborn, I think his style of writing for Stormlight Archives is better.
Stormlight Archives is one long series that will be split in two. The first five books will be about the characters we're currently reading about, whereas the latter five will be a sequel series of sorts (from what I understood). In that sense the series will be long, but you could probably read the first five as a stand-alone.
From the Wiki Page:
Ten books are planned in the series, broken down into two sets of five books each. Sanderson describes the planned story arc of the second set of five book as a "sequel" to the first set, with some appearances of characters from the first set.
That's the big reason I want to finish it. I hadn't heard of him until he took over after Jordon passed. So I went out and bought the Mistborn triliogy and loved it. I've got the first two of the stormlight archives done and love those as well.
Yea, he definitely has a different sound than Jordan in WoT. It definitely takes some getting used to, since some characters feel different than what they had been before the author switch.

Alloy of Law isn't very long (336 pages according to Wikipedia) and it's a pretty good book, so I'd recommend reading it and then starting Stormlight.

Good luck, it definitely slows down in books 9 and 10, but I'm glad Brandon Sanderson got to finish it.
