A review by n3rdybookworm
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

4.0

Very solid fantasy book, not too predictable and with a decent amount of social criticism. Very different magic system from most other fantasy settings. Am torn between 4 and 5 stars, because it's not quite as good as Patrick Rothfuss' stuff, but that is a very high bar and I've rated other things that are also not as good 5 stars, so 5 stars it gets.

edit: After continuing to read the trilogy, decided that it only deserved 4 stars
