I read all 3 Mistborns! I am in awe of this man's story planning skills. Before I read it all I knew was "detailed magic" and "good action scenes" and, um, yeah, that has been handily verified. I thought the first book was fun if kind of fluffy, and got kind of worried with the angsty second one, but man was that 3rd one some nice juicy payoff. I don't really dig the way he writes dialogue, something about it is too technical and writer-y sounding to come out of people who are supposedly members of an oppressed, uneducated slave class. On the other hand I think I understand where goofy-clown-Mat from The Gathering Storm came from, he'd have fit right in Kelsier's crew. And I can't count the number of times I wanted to shake Vin and tell her stop whining you're a god-killing physics ninja or take out your goddamn earring. But this guy sure can plot. I guess I'll check out these ways of kings and elantrises and whatnot. My only question is why isn't there an Allomancer video game?
