My rating: 5/5 Stars
Honestly, this book took me a while to read, not due to the large size of the book but because I had other things to do and I originally had this book on the kindle which I find harder to read.
Anyhow, this book was even better than I was expecting! As soon as I got into this book towards the end, I ended up reading a large section of the book in one sitting as it kept me intrigued and I just couldn't put the book down.
Everything about this book was great, the storyline was so original and I have never read anything like this before. Even all of the character developments were well written through out of the book (Especially Ham, Breeze and Marsh who were probably my favourite characters). I really enjoyed learning about all of the different metals which the Mistborn were able to use and the abilities which they got from the metals.
Throughout the book, there were so many twists which I really wasn't expecting to happen which made me love this book even more as it left me with so many questions. Normally the endings of books can be predicted but I honestly was not expecting that.
I must admit that when Vin met Elend (Even thought I loved the characteristics of Elend with him being one of the nobles but not wanting to live like he was while all of the Skaa were suffering and the fact that he spent all of his time reading really appealed to me) I groaned. As soon as this happened I assumed that the whole book would be consumed by the fact that they would be in love and everything would go wrong because of their love for each other and that there would be a typical love triangle with Spook. I was really surprised that this book hardly revolved around the love between them and it was in the background.
I really was not expecting the death of Kelsier and when it happened I was expecting him to not be dead somehow and him to come back into the story to help with the killing of the Lord Ruler. However, I was pretty upset about finding that Marsh was dead and that was the death I thought would be final which obviously wasn't and was really surprised when he returned.
This is the first Brandon Sanderson book which I read, and I shall certainly be reading more, especially of this series. I have already borrowed the rest of these books and I really would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the fantasy books as this is one of the best fantasy books which I have read.
