The Mists rule the night. The Lord Ruler owns the world.

Once, a hero arose to save the world. A young man with a mysterious heritage courageously challenged the darkness that strangled the land.

He failed.

For a thousand years since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist ruled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler. Every revolt has failed miserably.

Yet somehow, hope survives. Hope that dares to dream of ending the empire and even the Lord Ruler himself. A new kind of uprising is being planned, one built around the ultimate caper, one that depends on the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind and the determination of an unlikely heroine, a street urchin who must learn to master Allomancy, the power of a Mistborn.

I dag har jeg lært at "pewter" ikke har et norsk navn

Koste meg. Godt etablert magisystem, akkurat som alle andre sier om Sanderson. Likte figurene godt, og er nysgjerrig på serien videre, og så får vi bare se når/om jeg treffer et metningspunkt for halvskjulte messiaser.

Når jeg tenker meg om, tror jeg at noe av det som gjorde beskrivelsene av magien så lett for meg å henge med på, var at de fleste kreftene vi ser bli brukt er ganske klassiske videospillkrefter, så når vi ser allomantikere bruke forskjellige metaller, kjenner jeg meg igjen fra ganger jeg har vært i flytsonen i spill med liknende krefter – og dermed føles det som at jeg i større grad enn vanlig er en del av historien.

Løs tanke i én helsetning.

Men ja, likte boka.

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

Good start with a weak beggining.

The first quarter of the book is weak, boring, and I almost stopped reading. Is good that I didn't because the story, narration, and overall writing gets much better. What I like about the story is that it shows the flaws in the characters and the consequences making them more alive as opposed to too fictional because of obvious plot armor.
