Review: Simply fantastic. Loved falling into this fantasy - Review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide 9/26/14: I’ve been getting a lot more into adult fantasy — little by little — and the more I heard about Mistborn, the more it sounded pretty amazing. Then Nikki (There Were Books Involved) basically told me it WAS amazing and I should read it immediately. I needed a new audiobook and since this was a longer one, I decided it would be great for audio since I was a bit behind on my print copies. Anyway… enough about me. Let’s talk about MISTBORN. So admittedly… it started of juuuust a bit slow for me. I haven’t delved into a ton of adult fantasy yet (honestly all I’ve read as far as adult fantasy goes is A Game of Thrones and The Lies of Locke Lamora) but since I’ve really been getting into young adult fantasy lately, I was guessing that love would transfer no matter what the target age was but I still wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I think the reason it went slowly at first was merely because my most recent read with the Genteman Bastard series (that’s Locke Lamora for those of you unfamiliar) was so pleasant because there’s so much comedy strewn throughout and I love a good heist book. While MISTBORN has similar themes with thieves and a general fantasy world, they’re definitely two very different books so my expectations were just a bit off. Once I adjusted my perspective in the book, things really started to come together. Firstly, the characters are fantastic. It took me a while to get acclimated to Kelsier and Vin and exactly what roles they’d play in the book and how they relate to each other. Once I got in the groove, I absolutely loved it. Vin and Kelsier have an amazing relationship in this book and no, it’s not a romantic one. Kelsier is much older than thankfully it wasn’t romantic. No, they had a relationship that I find even more special sometimes than watching two characters fall in love — Kelsier really became a mentor to Vin and even a father figure at a time in her life when she had no one to trust and no one to rely on. He not only helped her come into her own, but also helped her learn how to trust again and provided her with a group of people who became her new family. As much as I love all the feels when witnessing a romantic relationship, I got a different set of feels from watching these two characters form an amazing bond of friendship and trust. The secondary characters were also wonderful. I feel like I only got to know them a little bit but I think in future books, I’ll get to know them even better. The way Sanderson shapes characters was so impressive. There are so many times when you see both the light and dark sides of each person — even with the side of evil, there are still hints at the more humane aspects and how even when two sides are warring, the lines start to blur every once in a while. The world building was absolutely fantastic. I feel like I created a picture in my head cobbled together from other fantasy worlds I’ve read but it was still very much its own place and its own story. The explanations and integrations of Allomancy and Feruchemy were amazing and as complicated as Allomancy can be with the number of metals involved and how they work, I never really felt overwhelmed or confused trying to understand which did what. Everything was explained in context as Vin was learning and as other characters were using their Allomantic powers so it was easy to follow along, and this continued throughout the whole book — not just as each one was introduced. I’m SO happy that Brandon Sanderson chose to keep naming the metals as they were being used because I could have easily gotten lost and forgotten the properties of each as I read. It was handled just perfectly, not to mention what an amazing magic system this is. I feel like the closest I’ve read is elemental powers but I absolutely love the concept and originality of “burning” metals that allow extra abilities. The whole plot for the book was just excellent and it’s amazing how things can get set up so early on the story and yet the reader has no realization of hidden motives or intentions (no spoilers. Some things you just can’t guess) as well as setting up the story line for future books. I was already hooked by the time I finished MISTBORN but now I really can’t wait to dive into book two as soon as possible! There were quite a few surprises and the ending was positively shocking so I can’t wait to see what else Brandon Sanderson has in store for readers with the rest of the series. This is one I don’t want to delay!
Review: Unique magic system, compelling characters and a twist on tropes - perfect for Fantasy fans. - My favorite entry in both Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series and his broader Cosmere universe. Mistborn follows an eclectic cast of thieves, revolutionaries, and nobles whose fates the reader will quickly become invested in. Without revealing who they are or what happens, Kelsier, Vin, and Sazed are legendary figures whose struggles against the oppressive Lord Ruler continue to have consequences far beyond their own ash-covered dystopian world of Scadrial. Well-written by Sanderson, with a complete plot that can stand on its own (or draw readers into the sequels and his massive Cosmere universe) and featuring one of Sanderson's unique and cool magic systems, Mistborn is a must-read for any Fantasy fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating and Creative
*by B***H on January 17, 2025*

I have to say that I was captivated by this book. Incredibly, although it is said by many followers of Sanderson’s books and affirmed by Sanderson himself that “Elantris” was sort of a starter book or a not so polished storyline compared to the others, I liked it just as much as “Mistborn.” Actually, I liked it even more in some areas and, possibly less so in others. Regardless, Sanderson’s ability to us creative language, interweaving what seems to be a never-ending vocabulary (in a very accurate, not so pompous sense) and character development that draws you into the characters minds is truly captivating. I rated this 4/5 stars strictly due to personal enjoyment for me. As a fan of Sanderson’s work from the perspective of someone who does not typically read a lot of fiction, I will, of course, continue on my Sanderson journey. My hope is that as I read more of his works, I will realize that this is actually a 2.5 or 3 instead compared to what I encounter next. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the politics, characters, twists, turns, and creativity of Elantris and personally just didn’t feel as though this had the same zeal to me. However, some of the pros of Mistborn are that: 1. The magic system is very unique and well-developed, 2. The characters complement each other well and make sense (I favor Kelsier - quite typical maybe), 3. Although the ending seemed a bit more simplistic that I hoped for, it set the stage well for the continuation of the storyline. Ready to continue on to the rest of my Brandon Sanderson journey.
