Mistborn: The Final Empire

Probably unfairly set my expectations high for Sanderson by starting with Way of Kings lol. By the time I started Mistborn I was kind of disappointed. I would've given it 3 stars if it wasn't for that ending.

- really obviously one of his earlier works, based off of the amateurish writing (especially compared to Way of Kings). Mistborn is his second book
- Vin's character seems to change really quickly. She falls right into her noble lady role with ease
- she is described as a thief but doesn't ever really steal anything???
- super typical that she should meet the city's most desirable bachelor her first night out and they just hit it off
- falls in love with him super fast... there weren't any scenes to show them falling for each other. It just happens
- was totally nonplussed after killing Shan: “at least some of it is noble blood. I got Shan pretty good.” Ok you 16 yr old former street urchin????
- Elend figures out Valette is skaa with no real explanation???
