After reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy for what felt like ages, I've finally finished! Though I did really enjoy the trilogy, I can't say at this point that I've come out of it as a diehard Sanderson fan. That being said, I'm sure to read more of his books in the future anyway. He has a good handle on worldbuilding and creating systems of "magic" that work well. So, highlights from this trilogy: awesome female lead, endearing "crew" members, unique sort-of magical system, and a mostly fast-paced plot (the first couple hundred pages of each book were the toughest). Recommend to people who really enjoyed the Shades of Magic trilogy by Schwab!
