Mistborn (Mistborn, #1)
by
www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.com
I'm sitting here in shock after reading this book. I have to admit that I cried, I didn't see that ending coming. Brandon Sanderson has done it again. This is only my second book I have read of his and they both have blown me away.
I loved all of the "good" characters in the book. Each one of them have an endearing quality. My favorites being Kell, Vin and Sazed. It took me a little bit to understand the Allomancy, but it finally started to make sense and there is a little chart in the back of the book that helps out with that :)
Kelsier (Kell) is a Mistborn and getting an army together to try to take down the Lord Ruler who is the ultimate jerk!! He finds Vin and brings her into his fold. She has no idea she is a Mistborn and she ends up being so much more than that! I love that he took her under his wing and taught her so many things. She caught on very quickly but this is because of what all she really is...no spoiler!
Kell has such a wonderful team. I love them all. There are several that have powers themselves. I really think this story is great at having all of these characters with different things they can do. They all stand out very clearly and the friendship between this team is the best.
The book is full of evil beings, strange beings, war, senseless torture and killings, and the good people trying to make a difference.
I'm still at a loss for a lot of words because of what happens and the feelings that are put into the book. All I can say is I look forward to reading many more Sanderson books!!!

Hi Melissa! Thanks for adding me. I loved this book-I'll be on the lookout for your comments on it. For me it didn't really get started until a couple hundred pages in...don't let that deter you...

Wow, fantastic review, Melissa! I've been told that Mistborn is a great introduction to Sanderson. It's where I plan to start, at least. What are your thoughts?
Yessssss! I'm new to Sanderson and his books are growing on me..... Glad you liked it!
This book was awesome. It's in my top 5 of the year for sure. And @ Dustin, this was my first Sanderson book and it's just so good, I'll be reading every one of his books now :D
Everything was just so well written, I was amazed.
I'm starting The Way of Kings next week and I'm so excited!

So far I've been reading his kids' and YA books. The "Alcatraz" series is hilarious. One of these days I hope to give his books for grownups a try.
