The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
I had heard of this book a few times, always in a positive light, so when I saw a nearly new copy for 50p, I figured I couldn't go wrong getting it. When I finally got round to reading it, I was blown away.
The main character, Vin, is a thief from the streets of Luthadel who turns out to be Mistborn, one of the most powerful Allomancers, those with supernatural powers. She has some interesting development, and really helps make the door what it is. Also the interactions between the other characters (Breeze, Kelsier and Ham in particular are who come to mind) is fun to read, and help lighten the tone at times.
The magic system is very original, and the whole concept is definitely not overdone.
Really, really think is an excellent book and should be read by anyone who is interested in the genre.
