Mistborn: The Final Empire

i really enjoyed this. i read it pretty much over the course of a week reading for 1-2.5 hours each day. it was fairly simple, but executed perfectly. pacing is quite fast, but i think it works well here since it means we get to consistently stick with the action despite it feeling at times a bit ‘telling' over ‘showing'. the emphasis is for sure on plot & character not descriptive, slow world-building (think lord of the rings, a song of ice and fire, the wheel of time, etc.).
