The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
This is the first book I picked up by Brandon Sanderson and I was not disappointed. So many people have recommended Brandon's books to me when I've been trying to look for some new Fantasy books to dive into and I'm so glad I picked one up.
The Final Empire is typically described as a world after the bad guy won. Ash falls from the sky, the mists come out at night and there's evil lurking everywhere.
We follow Kelsier who is a criminal mastermind and he teaches Allomancy (the magic of metals) to Mistborn Vin, Vin wasn't aware of her abilities, what they were or how to control them until Kelsier and his crew came along.
The magic system and this world was absolutely perfect! As somebody who hasn't read a lot of Fantasy I found this book really easy to get into and to follow, mainly because of Sanderson's writing, I feel addicted to it and I just want to read everything he writes.
The characters were fantastic, the 'info dumping' was actually interesting as hell and the scene setting was epic. I couldn't recommend this book enough, so easy to follow and yet so complex and fun.
