Brandon Sanderson's
epic fantasy trilogy overturns the expectations of readers and then goes
on to tell the epic story of evil overturned in a richly imagined
world. A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an
iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that
float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark
lord rules through the aristocratic families and ordinary folk are
condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash
fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived and there is rumour of
revolt. A revolt that depends on criminal that no-one can trust and a
young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all
metals. From Goodreads
This was a brilliant book. This metal magic used is fascinating and especially with the Mistborn who can master all metals. But it is not easy to master so it takes a lot of practising. It is a story of suppression, loss and betrayal but also of hope, trust and love.
It is a trilogy but actually there is a fourth book set in the same world. I have all 4 books and I am looking forward to reading them all.
