Summary

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families, and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived, and there is rumour of revolt. A revolt that depends on criminal that no-one can trust and a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all metals.

I arrived here after completing the Wheel of Time

After his completion of the wheel of time series I fell in love with his writing. To be honest, TWOT series left me with an empty void, a sort of sadness as I said goodbye to characters who had become friends and a story I had lived in for years ver a year.

This book filled that void and I am hooked… a departure from the old but still close enough to soothe my withdrawals.

I really love this series and am looking forward to the new adventure with these incredibly rich characters.

Addictive

I've been trying to find any opportunity to listen to this all week. Addictive storyline. Great array of characters. Loved the development of the magic that is used in the land!

Well planned!

Sanderson gives subtle hints and introduce a lot, but you still get amazed at the twists. And the twists are so satisfying! Because they make sense. There is no to little "this just saves the day", but rather well planed logic. The magic system feels somehow scientific and logic even though, well, its magic. The characters are so deep and well-planned and likeable as well. Must-read for all fantasy-lovers! It's not easy to find a masterpiece like this.

good story

I loved the story, however I found that the reader's voice was very clipped which made getting into the story quite tricky and difficult to differentiate between characters on occasion.
