There is Always Another Secret...

For Christmas my dear roomate, Sierra, purchesed a book for me. It was just a simple token of her appreciation for my amazingness. Little did she know she would create a monster.

The book was called Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, who is a creative writing professer here at BYU. It is about a young girl, named Vin, living in the Final Empire. A kingdom founded 1000 before by the Lord Ruler. The people revere him as a god and believe him to be immortal. But he is a tyrannt. He treats the non-nobles, called skaa, with little, if any respect. And forces them to be slaves and beggers. Vin discovers that she has a special ablity to influnce other poeple's emotions. And is discovered by a theving crew led by the engamitic Kelsier. He explains to her that she is Mistborn. She can "burn" metals to give herself super-human ablities. With the disocovery of her new powers and surrounded by Kelsier (another Mistborn) and his crew of Mistlings (people who can burn single metals instead of them all), Vin begins the impossable task of overthrowing the Lord Ruler and the Final Empire. The book is filled with action, intrigue, and romance.

I just finished the second book in the trilogy, Well of Acsension, and I cannot wait until October when the third, and final book is released. I totally recommend these books to anyone. Fantasy lovers, action/adventure people, anybody! You can go to Brandon Sandersons website to learn more about the world and the charcters.
