Mistborn: The Final Empire

Man, this book is just so good. I love the characters, the world is fascinating, and he does a great job of making you feel like part of the story. You really feel the drama and tension, you're wondering along with the rest of the characters how everything's going to turn out. Plus, there are a few twists that come out of nowhere, but when you look back, it all adds up.

Also, I read another review where they were laughing at how most of the book is pretty standard vocabulary, but then he just sprinkles in the word “maladroitly” 4 times. Still don't know what it means lol.

Age range: 16+
Pretty violent and lots of mentions of class abuse. It's never done in an in your face way, but definitely would be too mature for younger readers.
