On reread, all of these are still true, but there’s a new additional superb quality: all the foreshadowing and hints are now laid bare for me to see with the gift of hindsight. And I was also completely fascinated by the world-building and magic system that Sanderson has created here. I immensely enjoyed reading The Final Empire the first time I read this novel, I found the plot to be thoroughly engaging, relatable, and at times humorous due to the character’s camaraderie and banter. The main plot of the book revolves around a rebellion to overthrow the lord ruler this rebellion is built around a heist led by Kelsier, his team, and his newly found apprentice-Vin.

For a thousand years, the world has been ruled with an iron fist by the immortal emperor: Lord Ruler. The Final Empire is the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s highly acclaimed Mistborn trilogy. I predict this will happen within a week or two from now, but for now, let’s talk about The Final Empire, and why-even upon reread-it’s an absolutely incredible start to a trilogy. The impact that this trilogy left on my life is immeasurable, and my life before and after I finished this trilogy for the first time is a different one from each other. It’s not easy for me to elaborate upon this a cliché such as “I absolutely love this book” is not enough, and the reason behind the significance of this trilogy for me will have to be postponed until I’m done with rereading The Hero of Ages. There’s no doubt that The Final Empire is an extremely important book for me. It’s been exactly one year ten months since I first joined Goodreads or started reading The Final Empire for the first time it was on September 1st, 2016. Here it is, the beginning of the trilogy that sparked my love for reading fantasy novels. Genre: Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, High Fantasy
