It took me a long time to get into this book.... like, probably over 50% .... there just didn't seem enough depth and not a huge amount was happening. But once the story got going, oh boy!! It was SO GOOD!!! I think im going to enjoy Sanderson very much!

Mistborn was a great book. Never before have I read an epic fantasy novel that strikes all the right chords for an incredible epic fantasy book (Ie. great characters, interesting universe, intriguing magic system) that has a female character as its primary protagonist.

2nd attempt at reading this series. I just can’t get into it. The magic system is really interesting. Along with the world Sanderson has set up.
But it’s the characters and dialogue that I can’t get passed. Characters will explain things/events that everyone in the discussion should be aware of.
Still want to get into Sanderson’s work. Hopefully Way of Kings grabs me.

I just don't know what to say about this book. I didn't like it when I read it, but having heard so much praise for Sanderson's writing I'm beginning to doubt myself. Maybe I just haven't given it enough of a chance? I decided to try sanderson's new series to see if this is the case.
