MISTBORN: THE FINAL EMPIRE: Brandon Sanderson: Tor: Fantasy: 537After one thousand years of oppression, the enslaved Skaa race finds a new hero in The Survivor, a man who escaped from the Lord Ruler’s death sentence. Before his capture he was a very successful thief named Kelsier and now that he is free again he will use his new found powers, powers that allowed him to escape from what would certainly have been his death, to return to his past occupation. As he assembles his team of specialists, he discovers a young girl with powers like his and trains her to become a powerful allomancer.
Brandon Sanderson is a local author and this is his second printed work and the first in a coming trilogy. Like a lot of fantasy, Mistborn is a little long, but the story moves and keeps you engaged. I particularly like his characters, they are always flawed and very human. An easy recommendation to anyone who likes fantasy.
