Mistborn: The Final Empire

An awesome story and a better world.

WORLDBUILDING
Brandon Sanderson is an amazing writer. His world-building is incredible and the progressive exposure to new information makes for a light reading experience while getting the full richness of the world he has created.
At the end of the story, the reader feels like it understands how the world works, as it would be it's own.
The hard magic system presented is very satisfactory, since every bit of magic is justified and inbound by the presented rules. It is not like some stories where magic is invented on the way as the hero needs it, which feels improvised and unsatisfactory. But it is slowly introduced to the reader until it is familiar with the rules and then the problem resolution results are more satisfactory.

STORY
The story is a fun heist story with greater political repercussions than expected from a heist.
It is a very enjoyable story built around the fun magic system.

It only gets 4 stars because sadly the 4th part got for me a little dragged out which made me struggle to continue reading. But it is worth continuing reading, at the last chapter of part 4 it gets back on track and awesome again.
