One of the best fantasy books that I have ever read! No wonder this author is so highly recommended...very enthralling.
In Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson creates a world where the seemingly immortal Lord Ruler is tyrant, oppressing the common people who must scrape out a life from the beneath the ever-falling ash. Royal-born citizens have strange abilities using certain metals. But there are those not born into wealth that have these powers. They seek something more: an existence not overshadowed by the Lord Ruler. And really, I just can't do the storyline justice so please find a copy (or borrow mine) and read it for yourself.
Some of the plot twists you see coming but others are surprising. Two things I hate in books: 1) predictability and 2) happily ever after endings. This book has neither. I am really looking forward to the second in the series!
