Mistborn: The Final Empire
Description
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.
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot. But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed. This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails?

I’ve been interested in checking out Brian Sanderson’s work for a while. His name seems to be everywhere, and I had little to no reference as to who he was prior to picking up this novel. All I knew about Sanderson was that he had a large fanbase, a prolific output, and an affinity for magic systems. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I read Mistborn, and….it was fine.

Listened to this via audiobook—glad I did. Very much enjoyed it. I didn’t connect as much to our main character as I wanted to but I am interested in her storyline and cannot wait to see what happens. I think this book does something that so many authors struggle with: they complete a story in book one, setting us up for book 2–without boring us and without making the story feel unsatisfying. And my prediction (that the 11th metal allowed you to ...read more
Wow! Just, wow! This is my first foray into the work of Brandon Sanderson and I must say I am not disappointed. Having read my share of fiction over the years, I thought at the beginning I would have been able to predict where this story was going. While some of my conclusions were correct, the direction that the characters took to get there completely surprised me, and others just didn't turn out at all the way I expected. I think this is what m...read more
The Mistborn series was a trilogy that I was recommended a while ago and finally picked up to read. I went through the first book relatively quickly and with relative ease, the story itself piqued my interest enough for me to not want to put the book down however there were a few moments that I considered could have been written better.
