Brandon Sanderson, The Final Empire - Mistborn Book One

I promised this a week ago. But it's here.

And the cover art is amazing too

Brandon Sanderson's first book of The Mistborn is amazing. It had one of the most original and plausible magic systems I've ever encountered. The magic is based on different metals, with different effects. the metal 'burn' for a certain amount of time and then they are finished. You need to expend some energy to get some energy. I can't wait to buy the next two in the series. It's a good thing they're completed.

Set in the final empire - a barren, ash-filled world of overlords and underlings, with a hereditary magic passed through the noble line. The story focuses on a half peasant, half noble street thief who has inherited some 'mistborn' magic and has been using it intuitively as a good luck charm for her crew. She is found by a man in charge of a group of magical gentlemen thieves who have the cooked up the plot of the century: Overthrowing the evil overlord who has ruled for a thousand years.

This is an amazing book and the other two look as promising. Brandon Sanderson Started the trilogy after wondering about what would happen if the bad guys won, and he has pulled it off spectactularly.
