I know it's too late to dive into Brandon Sanderson's world. But, finally after I decided to jump into it through the first book of Mistborn, I can only say that it is amazing. SO AMAZING.

Honestly, when talking about fantasy books, I always say that fantasy books should not be made minimalist, fantasy should be big, and this book potrays it well. Although that the writing style ain't really amazes me, i found that the world-building is arranged epically, the magic system is made very interesting, and of course the plot is very neat.

Raising the theme of the rebellion against tyranny, slavery, and injustice of the social strata, this book successfully made me enter it, completely. I liked how Brandon Sanderson describes every characters. The protagonist who has many weaknesses and makes a lot of mistakes, but is able to learn and improve upon them—not a character who suddenly becomes super strong and invincible. Also loved how The Lord Ruler described as a feared figure with a mysterious superpowers without actually included directly in the story, but i can still understand his character; the fears that the protagonist face to fight against him.

There's a time when i find it's getting a bit boring, but still 4.75 STARS for me, yeah.

It started incredibly slow. I struggled through the first half of the book before breezing through the rest and finishing the last half of the book within a week.

M E U D E U S!
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.
