The Final Empire

I have to admit that this wasn’t as good as some of Sanderson’s other writing, such as The Stormlight Archive. I attribute this to the fact that this is some of his earliest writing, and even with that in mind I still found this to be a creative and enjoyable read. The characters sucked me in, the world was intriguing and mysterious, and the magic system was as impressive as Sanderson’s other creations. I can tell there’s a lot of room for creative expression with the foundations he’s laid, and just like in The Stormlight Archive, I felt that this book was only a sort of introduction to the series as a whole. Even though some mysteries that were hinted at in this book were resolved, there’s still many questions that are left for the characters to investigate in this unique world.
