This is my favorite of the Mistborn Era 1 trilogy. I read Stormlight before I read Mistborn and I love Stormlight more than Mistborn for my own personal taste. I didn't like the Chosen One or YA tropes present throughout the book. I did the atmosphere of a
dying world
and the lore that was shown throughout.  Also, for some reason, I just could not connect to the characters or their arcs strongly in this book while I can in Stormlight. So, for me, the trilogy is good but not anywhere special on my list. I just know I got to read it to understand the Cosmere. I am interested in what happens in the Second Era so now I am on the read that.
