The first instalment in the Mistborn trilogy was great. Sanderson does a great job with the worldbuilding and setting the rules of his magic system, without being confusing or tedious.
The Final Empire takes place on a decadent world which is governed by the Lord Ruler, some kind of god emperor that has been in power for thousands of years and has annihilated every attempt of rebellion. The story begins when Kelsier, a former slave and only survivor of the terrible Pits of Hathsin, start organizing a group to overthrow the Lord Ruler.
What I enjoyed the most of this book was it's simplicity. The story is really straight forward and the lore isn't that hard to understand, in fact the world map is very small compared to other epic fantasy sagas and the action takes place in the Final Empire's capital mostly so you don't get confused by learning other locations.
