Mistborn: Mistborn Book One

I like the fact that the magic in the book is consistent to the rules Sanderson sets in the beginning. I do not like the fact that Sanderson is so consistent to proceeding to the real action in the last 100 pages of all his books; at least the ones I have read till now (the 2 of stormlight archive and this). It would take 3/5 if it weren't for Kelsier. Hope to see more of this world, outside of Luthadel in the next books.

This first book of the Mistborn series is definatley a breath of fresh air in a sometimes jaded genre. Generally fast paced, with good charicterisation and suficient depth for those who like to imerse themselves in characters, plotlines and details.. While it did not push ALL the right buttons for myself, it only missed by a very small margin. This one definatley goes on the reread multiple times shelf.

This was my first and so far only brandon sanderson book, i bought it after having his works recommended to me by a relative. The characters are deep enough to be believable and generally likable, the story and wording is entertaining, but the best part of this book/series is the system of magic, which is original and interesting, as opposed to the usual magic systems. In some aspects/story arcs it was quite predictable, but it did have a major twist at the end which i did not expect whatsoever, and the predictable points (save one) did not bother me. I will continue the series and check out additional books by sanderson. Btw, what's up with the ebook cover? The one i saw on my paper edition looked nice, as opposed to this.
