Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon SandersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked it. Reading fantasy genre for me is like reading a Harlequin romance for some or enjoying a Justin Beiber song (or album?). When I see the covers of some of the books from this genre, I feel a little shame, and that shame is multiplied when I give the book four stars. All that said, I really did enjoy the book. The characters were great, the story line had me wanting more, and I was so happy to know that there are several other enormous books in the series. Hopefully they are as good as this one.
I have a friend describe this book to me at a party awhile back. I was having trouble following him, but I remember his saying that the characters "got power from burned metal they ate." "What a ridiculous premise for a book," I thought, but it really is a fun world Sanderson created. I had to read the first two chapters twice because I felt like I didn't get the characterization the first time through.
