Mistborn: Secret History

4.00/5.00

This is my first dive into the cosmere. I have always wondered what the hype about Sanderson is, now I see it. This book blows my mind with attention to detail. The complexity of the magic system is the certainly the best part. Some of the action sequences were pretty good. A very satisfying read for fantasy lovers. Vin's character is pretty well developed.

However, the writing was overly simple, the dialogue is okay. I've heard many people tell me that Brandon Sanderson‘s writing has improved in his later books, so I am, hoping the next one will be better.

There were no glorious character moments that I enjoyed. There is one character moment in the book, which could have been amazing but I thought it kind of fell flat. Most of the cast seemed one-dimensional. Kelsier and Vin are properly done. The magic system is thoughtful, creative and spectacular just as you would expect from Brandon Sanderson. Emotionally. It wasn't very impactful, but this is the first book so I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt.
