The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1)
By Brandon SandersonPublisher Description
What if the whole world were a dead, blasted wasteland?
Mistborn
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. Then Kelsier reveals 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. She will have to learn trust if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.
Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale-spinner and author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the prophesied hero failed to defeat the Dark Lord? The answer will be found in the Misborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises that begins with the book in your hands. Fantasy will never be the same again.

“i am very conflicted on this one. i’ll start with the positives: the writing was very good. for an epic fantasy with many characters and a unique magic system, it was very easy to follow. i finished the nearly 800 page kindle version in 4 days and it didn’t hurt my brain at all to process. the world was also a VIBE. the characters are all very likable, particularly the strong FMC and SAZED!! Sazed needs to be protected at all costs. finally, the magic system was intriguing and added a very interesting layer.
that being said, this book had a bit too much politicking for me. i love a good strategy and scheme, but when it’s 80% of the book you lose me. for what actually ended up happening, i feel like it took us waaaay too long to get there.
overall, good shit from brandy sandy and i will most likely continue the series, i think the next book was set up well. i’m rooting for these mfs”AbuseWar violenceChange and growLikeableMinor characters stand outClever plottingSatisfying conclusionImmersive world-buildingEasy to readRepetitive
