Other Worlds' Rating: 9 of 10 stars
Mistborn is a unique new fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. It is focused around the character Vin, a street rat who has special powers of influence she calls "luck". She is found by the Mistborn Kelsier and his crew, and her life will never be the same. This book is centered around an inventive type of magic system called Allomancy, in which users burn metals ingested inside of them to use their magical abilities. It sounded a little strange to me at first, but Sanderson pulls it off remarkably well.
This book is definitely a 9 of 10. The characterization is great, the plot is riveting, and the mysteries of Allomancy will keep you thinking. It is rare that I find a book that I am so absorbed in. I highly recommend this book as a must read to any lover of fantasy. Sanderson's amazing tale-telling ability kept me reading and wanting more.
Seriously, read this book. And buy the sequel while you're at it, because you'll only want more when you're done.
