“Belief isn’t simply a thing for fair times and bright days, I think. What is belief—what is faith—if you don’t continue in it after failure?”
What an amazing, fun, heartbreaking ride was reading this book!!!!!
I've been watching book reviews on YouTube for years now, and The Mistborn trilogy was always one that was highly recommended. At the time, I only read YA or romance books (2010's) and I was scared to not know or understand a High Fantasy book like this one.
Although not much has changed with the books I normally gravitate too, this year I decided to get out of my comfort zone and reading this series was on the top of my list.
WOW this was fun, at times exhilarating and overall an fantastical book with amazing plot and characters. I won't go into details about the story or anything like that, its far to complicated for me to explain and I just finished the book, so there are things in my mind that need to be sorted out. But needless to say, I really enjoyed reading The Final Empire, I loved the characters (Vin, Kelsier, Sazed, Breeze, Elend), the found family aspect and how despite being high fantasy, was easy to follow. Don't get me wrong, there are things I still don't understand but at the same time, it was not as complicated that I made it seem.
Can't wait to see what happens next!!!
