The Final Empire (Mistborn #1), by Brandon Sanderson

Hey guys, this is Abi here, 
And I have decided not to post a film review on Truth or Dare, but to skip it and write my review for the first book in the Mistborn trilogy!
Enjoy!

Title: The Final Empire
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Genre: High Fantasy 
Release date: 17th July 2006
Status: Book 1 in the Mistborn trilogy
Pages: 643
Blurb: "In a world where ash falls from the sky, and mist dominates the 
night, an evil cloaks the land and stifles all life. The future of 
the empire rests on the shoulder of a troublemaker and his 
young apprentice. Together, can they fill the world with colour 
once more?"

My Thoughts

I truly don't know how to start this review.

Okay.

I'm so glad I finally picked up this book.
There.
That's my review.

Not.

Thank the Lord Ruler that I finally decided to pick this up.

Because it was SO GOOD. I can't even with how amazing it was.

The characters. The world-building. The magic system.
It was all absolutely fantastic.

It was all so much better and SIMPLER writing than I thought it was going to be.

Let me explain. When a book is huge, you automatically assume that a book is going to have tones of complicated language and you're not going to understand much.
Or at least I assume that.
No, just me?

But The Final Empire wasn't like that at all. I was amazed at how easily I got pulled into the world, and the story.
It was all crafted so well together, like the way it was woven into the story, and I came to understand the world of the Skaa and the Nobleman and the Lord Ruler that I have come to cherish today.

And the characters are so cool and badass (Vin) and unpredictable, yet interesting (Kelsier) and amazing and quirky and unique (the rest).
They were all so interesting and easy to read their stories.

And it was so action packed! I loved it!

So overall, this review has been crazy. But they accurately portray my thoughts on The Final Empire.
This is truly, one of my favourite books so far this year, and I hope that continues (I'm on Hero of Ages at the moment and loving it.) But if I hadn't mentioned it enough, I thoroughly enjoyed this and I recommend this to fantasy lovers that love to emerge themselves in huge and epic fantasies (though I'm pretty sure most of the world has read this at present.)

(I bet the next review is going to be worse, urghhhh.)

But anyway, that was my review on The Final Empire, by Brandon Sanderson!
I hope you enjoyed it!

And that's going to be it for today (this review literally took a week.)
I hope you have a lovely day and I will see you all on Friday (hopefully.)
Byeeeee!
