FOR A THOUSAND YEARS THE ASH FELL. For a thousand years, the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years, the Lord Ruler reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Every attempted revolt has failed miserably.

YET SOMEHOW HOPE SURVIVES. A new kind of uprising is being planned, one that depends on the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind and the courage of an unlikely heroine, a Skaa street urchin, who must learn to master Allomancy, the power of a mistborn.

What if the prophesied hero had failed to defeat the Dark Lord? The answer will be found in the Mistborn trilogy, a saga of surprises that begins here.

JJ reviewed Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, #1)

Not to be too dramatic but what a masterpiece

Content warning Light Spoilers, nothing major

It has been a long time since I enjoyed a book like I’ve enjoyed Mistborn. The book starts very interesting, and although it slows down a bit when Vin starts to infiltrate into the Noble faction, it makes sense for the plot to slow down at that point.

The last 200 pages are a masterpiece though and I really enjoyed it. Even though the book is super long, it really had me wanting to start the next one right away.
