Book Review: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Mistborn was my first-ever Brandon Sanderson novel, and even though I’m late to the party, I can now honestly say that I get the hype. I wasn’t sure what to expect from an author who so many in the fantasy reader community revere, but I wasn’t disappointed. Read more
