Mistborn: The Final Empire

Freaking fantastic!!

I guess there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about this masterpiece.

The only epic fantasy I knew about -but never read- was Lord Of The Rings. This was the first time I tried one. And damn, this is what reading is all about. The world that Sanderson has build here is just fantastic. He introduces a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre, with the exclusion of typical magic. Sanderson gives birth to “Allomancy”, a power that let people “burn” metals after swallowing them. I won't go in detail here, just know that it's really fresh and awesome.

This first book is so big, complex and rounded in itself, that just the thought of it being just the beginning of a trilogy is stunning. You've been introduced to the world and its state, and been giving enough of open questions to peak the interest in reading it all.

I may be a bit biased because I've listened to the Graphic Audio audiobook version of this for the most part (which was really really awesome), but for me this book had it all.
