The Final Empire: Mistborn, Book One, Review

 

A Great Start to a Mythic Series

In Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson introduces readers to a beautifully detailed world of falling ash, feared mists, and a system of magic called Allomancy. Royals and skaas (slaves) inhabit this gray world, controlled by the cruel immortal Lord Ruler.

 

Vin, an abandoned, traumatized, half-skaa teen survives her harsh life with a gang of thieves by keeping herself small and fading into the shadows, where she hopes no one will notice her. But when her circumstances change, Vin is brought into a new gang that recognizes her magic and needs her to visibly mingle among the royals she fears. Vin isn’t supposed to fall for one, especially not the heir to the most powerful Royal House in Luthadel.

 

I loved Sanderson’s relatable characters, imaginative system of magic, inventive creatures, and vivid setting. Embedded in Mistborn are themes of hope, trust, and friendship, and how difficult those are to attain. 

As soon as I finished Mistborn, I read the next two books in the trilogy! Five stars for all three!
