Following on the heels of Sanderson’s successful launch into the YA market with the New York Times bestselling Rithmatist comes Mistborn, now repackaged for the teen audience Once, a hero rose to save the world. He failed. For a thousand years since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist ru...
I debated between four and five stars, but decided on five because this book is so COOL. Intricate world-building. The main magical power system in the book is fully fleshed out. Furthermore, while it takes just a little while to get going, once it does, it just doesn't stop. There are so many wo...
The Final Empire follows a girl named Vin, an orphan street urchin who discovers she has the powers of a Mistborn, and Kelsier, a Mistborn half-skaa who wants to overthrow the Lord Ruler.I read this over the span of two days, faster than I usually do, probably because it's pretty fast-paced and it h...

I've written like 3 different reviews in the past and torn them all down. Does anyone else get that experience? Sometimes you read a book, you write a revie...
I've been hearing about this book everywhere lately so I picked it up since I've been on a fantasy kick lately. I can totally see why people are raving about this book. It's got a heist aspect to it, it's got a revolution aspect to it, and it's really well done. I really love Vin and Kelsier, I like...
I came late to the Brandon Sanderson show. Numerous things caused this. Marriage, work, and kids did dramatically reduce my reading time just when Mr. Sanderson first arrived on the scene. And, no, I didn’t get introduced to him through Wheel of Time, because my disgust with the middle of that serie...
