Set in a world where the sky is black and the sun, the color of blood, Kelsier, a rebel, threatens to overthrow the government of the Lord Ruler after escaping imprisonment by the Lord Ruler himself. Seeking only the most trust-worthy Mistborn and Mistings, he comes across a young skaa Mistborn by the name of Vin and trains her to be one of the greatest heroes of the Final Empire.
Great book!
Terrific world building, well-developed characters, good storyline... what's not to love? I adored Kelsier. What he did for the skaa was enormous and I feel like he really thought of Vin like the daughter he never had. You can't help yourself but to be fond of Vin. Throughout the book, she showed so much strength physically and mentally. She is so brave and a little suspicious about everyone but nobody's perfect right? Furthermore, I am amazed by to unique setting of the story that Sanderson brought to life in The Final Empire. Very original. At first when I read the back cover, my first thought was "Oh no, not another post-apocalyptic/end-of-the-world story" but now I'm really happy I've read it.
Did I also tell you about how much I love Elend Venture? Such an open-minded guy with a great personality.
