Mistborn Trilogy... Brandon Sanderson

Somehow I got this book as a recommendation from Amazon and for once they got it right.

This is not a fluff sci-fi series. It is one where the author actually thought up a different world with different rules. There are many characters in the series to identify with but I think my preference for strong females wins out again as the main character throughout the trilogy is a woman. She is not the obvious lead though and I like that. I also like all the uses for metals in this series although at times it can be cumbersome.

I think of the Ender's Game Series when I am trying to compare this to another author's work. However, not as long... I lost interest in the Ender Series a few books in. Therefore a trilogy is nice and I like my story lines tied up in a nice bow.

This book makes me want to be mistborn... who wouldn't want to eat metal and get superpowers from it?!
