A review by dorithexplori
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
I really didn't want to read it but after my boyfriend forced me I picked it up. I am normally only reading romance novels, so this was a first for me.
And eventhough I still hated everything about it for the first couple of chapters - I really learned to love it.
It just has everything: awesome world building, balanced characters that are allowed to struggle and have flaws and a realistic magic system. Sanderson has a great writing style and sense of pace with great balance between action and quieter more character driven moments.
The only thing I really struggled with was Vin. She just seemed to be SO annoying at times! And also the romance subplot was really boring. Thats why I can only give it 4 stars.
