Este livro não perde o fôlego de forma alguma.
Desde o inicio ao nos intrigar com as epígrafes dos capítulos e com um prólogo fortíssimo, Brandon consegue fazer um trabalho de worldbuilding sensacional e de uma forma não expositiva, nos deixando ver o que acontece ao invés de simplesmente relatar. E ainda de uma forma que não soe cansativa ou como um infodump exaustivo. Esse livro é facilmente palatável dentro de uma estrutura política, sistema de magia e lore com seu nível de complexidade.
Os personagens são extremamente cativantes. Impossível não se apaixonar por Kelsier, por Vin, por Sazed e se intrigar com o Lord Ruler.
O debate religioso e social aqui é de uma qualidade impressionante, inclusive bem melhor do que como é feito em Elantris.
Simbolismos, reviravoltas, cenas emocionantes, revelações surpreendentes e pontas soltas suficientemente necessárias para se manter o interesse na continuação da saga.
É realmente uma obra completa. Em Brandon precisamos confiar no processo...
Se em elantris o processo é repleto de altos e baixos e um fim satisfatório, aqui, o processo é todo satisfatório com um final bem apoteótico.

It's technically good, but I was bored many times. Felt like a chore to finish the book, even though I was interested in everything I read.
Should be 2.5. Very mixed: original ideas clash with sophomoric writing quality. The characters and world are interesting and the story has a few unexpected elements. But the dialogue is lacking while the descriptions are sometimes grade-school level. Makes the reader curious to read more despite its shortcomings; could be almost improved as a comic book due to its detailed action scenes.

A simple, yet compelling story of rebellion and survival. It follows two individuals seeking a new purpose in life. One was betrayed desiring revenge. The other one was abandoned forced to find her place in the world.
I found the relationship between the two main characters to be a bit lacking. Rather than a genuine connection, it felt more like a professional, boss-and-employee dynamic. I hoped for their bond to grow into something more akin to a father-daughter relationship but it never quite reached that level of emotional depth. It was a missed opportunity to truly pull on the heartstrings of the reader.
The female protagonist has her flaws and can be annoying at times. Her quick declaration of love for a boy she barely knew was difficult to believe and felt underdeveloped. I wish the author had spent more time building their relationship so that readers could genuinely root for them.
The power system (Allomancy) is one of the book's strengths. Although it’s a concept that is not new, it’s grounded and easy to understand. There are eleven distinct metals each granting a unique ability. It’s straightforward even though I'm used to the more diverse power systems found in anime and web novels. Given this is the first book in a trilogy, I'm hope that the next installments will introduce more variety.
Without a doubt, Sazed is the standout character and the MVP of the book.
After reading Lord of Mysteries, my standards for fantasy are quite high. While Mistborn is a decent read, it didn't quite reach that level for me. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I wish to finish the trilogy so that I can move on to the highly-praised Stormlight Archives. Wish me luck.
