Mistborn

Description

Brandon Sanderson is well-known for his magic systems, and Mistborn standshigh above the rest. In the Final Empire, ash falls from the sky, mist moves unnaturally through the night, and the Lord Ruler dominates all. Within his society, there are those known as allomancers, able to manipulate the world by consuming and ‘burning’ a metal. There are also those more powerful, with noble blood, who can use all of them in tandem. Mistborn can tear through armies, fly through the night, and manipulate emotions. Vin, a street child, is one of them, and with a group of rebels, plans to tear the empire apart. Joining her is Sayed, a Feruchemicalist who can store properties like physical strength or knowledge in bracelets and draw from them at any time. Unfortunately, the Lord Ruler has his own weapons. Steel inquisitors employ Hemalurgy to gain their own allomantic powers by brutally killing allomancers. All of it ties into a much bigger fight of good and evil, where two gods collide and a prophecy tells of only one who can unite them. When combined with its incredible action scenes and likable characters, Mistborn becomes one the best introductions to fantasy.
