From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.

Review of 'The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I can't say I wasn't entertained, but somehow I wasn't 100% sold. The characters were relatable, and I liked the general comradery of the main characters.

El worldbuilding que se monta este hombre me tiene alucinada
La trama de revoluciones que la siguen ya ni te cuento y los pequeños guiños de Ham a cuestiones de moralidad junto con la rebelión me han gustado mucho, dan humanidad a los personajes y te hacen reflexionar un rato, no todo es blanco y negro.
Estoy deseando leer el segundo para ver como continúa la trama en el Imperio.
