Mistborn: The Final Empire

The Mistborn series was seriously hyped up for me. I was expecting it to be my new favorite book. It was very good, but it's not a new favorite. I found the magic system to be thoroughly explained, unique, and interesting, but the language used to describe it was repetitive and grated my nerves (particularly during fight scenes). I understand that's how the magic system works, but it could have been written better. I loved the diverse cast and overall story line. I found there to be an excellent balance of action and slower moments. I saw some of the “twists” coming, but not all. It was really enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to continuing the series once I get a long enough break from the words burned, flared, pushed, and pulled.
