Mistborn: The Final Empire

Wow, can't believe it took me so long to find a book that helped me finally get over Harry Potter/Eragon/Aragorn.
My my, no dragons, no elves, no magic yet a work of fantasy that deserves to be right there among the best.
And finally, it feels almost liberating to get a female protagonist like Vin, who unlike Katniss/Tris gets over the daze surrounding the responsibilities handed to her very quickly and takes it upon herself to try her very best.
Phew. Can't wait to see how this ends.
