Mistborn: The Final Empire (The Mistborn Saga, 1)

By Brandon Sanderson

Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga. Once, a hero arose to save the world. He failed. Ever since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist controlled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler. But hope survives. A new uprising is forming, one built around the ultimate caper, the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind, and the determination of an unlikely heroine: a street urchin who must learn to master the power of a Mistborn.

Few people in fantasy can write a good fighting scene, with all the mysterious powers and what-not, Brandon has that aspect mastered. One of the few authors who I don't hate for killing off my favourite character, because of how well it was written and how it made fit well in the story.
