There's a lot to love about Mistborn - the setting is fascinating, Sanderson has developed a really interesting system of magic with allomancy, and the backstory of the rise of the Lord Ruler were all really enjoyable. They form a really great core of the novel. I was less impressed with Vin's story - it seemed like a cliched YA plotline that's been done many times before and, honestly, more interestingly.
There's enough that appealed to me that I'll definitely be checking out the remainder of the trilogy to see how the story develops.
