The Final Empire is one of the few fantasy novels that I like. I got it on Audible because the narrator’s voice sounded soothing, and it was a really long audio book so I figured it would keep me entertained several nights in a row as I tried to fall asleep. I was right.This book is definitely the b...
This book has it all! Great characters, great magic system and a great story.First we have the standard fare of an evil tyrannical ruler that must be defeated. But in this case the Lord Ruler is already in power and has been for over 1000 years. I loved the little surprising twist on the identity of...

Spoiler Rating: Moderate Dear Ashers, With the failure of Crown Duel in mind, I spent a good half hour prowling through the bookstore last weekend, on the hunt for something that didn’t look likely to break my heart. And lo, there was Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. Ashers, my life will never b...
I read The Final Empire out of challenge. I may have mentioned that my experience with Tolkien’s LOTR was quite traumatic and left me a prejudiced reader. Let me clear things first. LOTR was not a bad book but Tolkien’s antiquated prose and verbose descriptions of even the mundane things have made ...
Not much to say about this one that hasn't already been said, but it's very good. Appealing characters, a unique and well thought out magic system, and Sanderson's typically thorough worldbuilding. Sanderson isn't the most lyrical of writers, but this isn't the kind of book that needs it. Instead...
Everyone keeps raving about this author and this series. So I'm finally getting around to it. First thing, I almost immediately quit, because I found Kelsier just that annoying. He seemed to lack empathy. He was a smug, condescending know-it-all who reminded me way too much of Richard Rahl from...
This novel for me was original and climatic. Never a dull moment, and all aspects were clearly explained. To be honest the blurb didn't amaze me, but thankfully I listened to all the recommendations because I ended up loving this novel, and hopefully the next books of the trilogy/series.There was an...

The Final Empire is in the stranglehold grip of a tyrannical ruler, the Lord Ruler, considered a God, and his enforcers, the Inquisitors. The worl...

It is perfect. The concept is unique i mean really everything about this book is unique and new, the ma...
