Mistborn: The Final Empire

Possibly the best book I have ever read.

This is the first time I've ever read a Sanderson book. Obviously I know the hype around this author and his books. But I've taken a while to get around to reading anything of his.

This is one of those moments where I find myself facepalming myself.

Why? Why did I leave it this long?

The hype is real. There's a purity an cleanliness to his writing which made every page just embed itself into my brain with no effort whatsoever.

I rarely had to re-read a sentence or try to figure out what was going on or what he was describing visually.

It's just fantastic to be able to pick up a book and know that it will almost read itself to you.

And nothing felt rushed. This is an epic story with a huge lore and magic system, but not once did it feel out of control. Sanderson knew how this was going to play out from start to finish. It was obvious he knew where it was going, and he took the time to flesh everything out before things started heating up. The stakes were high because the time was taken to get me to know and love these characters - and their history. And at no point was I bored or wanting to "get on with it".

I can't say enough about this book. My only regret is that I haven't got the next ones in the series all ready to go yet. I can't wait to get my hands on them and really soak up this world even more.

5 out of 5.. 10 out of 10. A+ and then some.
