From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.
But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.
This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails?

From Publishers Weekly
Sanderson's eerie second fantasy (after 2005's Elantris), set in a mist-haunted, ash-ridden world, pits Kelsier, "the Survivor of Hathsin," against the immortal Lord Ruler's 1,000-year domination of both the Great Houses and their serflike "skaa." Through Allomancy acquired in the Ruler's most hellish prison, Kelsier can "burn" 10 metals internally, fueling superhuman powers he uses to assemble rebels in a loose plan to destroy the nobility, the empire and the Lord Ruler himself. Kelsier uses Vin, a street urchin with the same Mistborn powers Kelsier possesses, to infiltrate the Great Houses' society, where she falls in love with philosopher prince Elend Venture. This mystico-metallurgical fantasy combines Vin's coming-of-age-in-magic and its well-worn theme of revolt against oppression with copious mutilations, a large-scale cast of thieves, cutthroats, conniving nobles and exotic mutants. The fast-paced action scenes temper Vin's interminable ballroom intrigues, while the characters, though not profoundly drawn, have a raw stereotypic appeal. (July)

From Booklist
The Sliver of Infinity, the Lord Ruler, is the locus of religious and temporal order in a world in which the skaa are slaves or worse. Half-skaa erstwhile thief Kelsior is the only person to survive and escape the Lord Ruler's most brutal prison, in which, however, he discovered he has the powers of the Mistborn, which are based on the internal "burning" of certain metals, all of which the Mistborn can use, while most others can burn only one. Now Kelsior plans his most daring raid ever, into the center of the palace to discover the secret of the Lord Ruler's power. Beforehand, his band finds the half-skaa orphan Vin in another thieving crew, where she's useful because she brings good luck. She is also Mistborn and, if she can master and learn to trust her powers, will enable Kelsior's crew to infiltrate the nobility and possibly overthrow the status quo. Intrigue, politics, and conspiracies mesh complexly in a world Sanderson realizes in satisfying depth and peoples with impressive characters. Regina Schroeder

Review
“Elantris is the finest novel of fantasy to be written in many years. Brandon Sanderson has created a truly original world of magic and intrigue, and with the rigor of the best science fiction writers he has made it real at every level.” ―Orson Scott Card
“Elantris . . . is marked by vivid and strongly drawn characters (including a memorable female character) and ingenious plot twists that will keep the reader turning pages. Don't miss it!” ―Katherine Kurtz, New York Times-bestselling author of the Deryni series
“Sanderson's outstanding fantasy debut . . offers something for everyone: mystery, magic, romance, political wrangling, religious conflict, fights for equality, sharp writing and wonderful, robust characters. . . . The intrigue and excitement grow steadily in this smoothly written, perfectly balanced narrative; by the end readers won't want to put it down. . . . Sanderson is a writer to watch.” ―Publishers Weekly, Starred Review on Elantris
“In this stunning debut novel [is] a completely unique world that enfolds the reader in mystery and wonder right through till the last page.” ―Romantic Times Bookclub on Elantris

Worth the pain. And by pain I mean AGONY. FYI.
By Jessica@RabidReads
The world of the Mistborn is not a pleasant place.
There's always a downtrodden servant class (skaa) in a Sanderson series, but this world's version is particularly bleak.
Ash falls like rain from the sky, supplying the skaa with a never ending yet thankless workload. They're beaten regularly, often resulting in their deaths. A pretty daughter is a curse rather than a blessing, b/c not only will the Master feel obliged to have his way with her, but when he gets bored, she'll be killed.
Halfbreeds are to be avoided, you see.
The nobility is sometimes blessed with magic. Magic which passes genetically to offspring, and we can't allow the peasants to gain that kind of power, can we?
*twirls mustache*
Enter Kelsier. *fireworks*
In the city where corruption among the nobility chokes the air almost as much as the ashfall, some skaa thumb their noses at the system.
They form street gangs and steal whatever they can from those who would enslave them, existing in a cutthroat world by embracing a cutthroat mentality.
Most of the gangs are comprised of ordinary skaa, but a few are a different, more organized crews than low level thieves . . . They take bigger jobs, they are the royals of the petty thieves, they are the Mistings.
And in a few extremely rare cases, they are the Mistborn.
Not every halfbreed life is snuffed out before it can begin . . .
And Kelsier is the greatest of them all.
Among the common criminals he is legend:
“That’s where he got those scars, you know,” Disten said. “The ones on his arms. He got them at the Pits, from the rocks on a sheer wall he had to climb to escape.”
Harmon snorted. “That’s not how he got them. He killed an Inquisitor while escaping—that’s where he got the scars.”
“I heard he got them fighting one of the monsters that guard the Pits,” Ulef said. “He reached into its mouth and strangled it from the inside. The teeth scraped his arms.”
Disten frowned. “How do you strangle someone from the inside?"
But Kelsier was betrayed, and when he finally escaped the pits that claimed his wife, he was determined to be more than a crew leader. More than a thorn in the Lord Ruler's thigh or a bramble in his path.
And when you think about it, as far as planning goes, there's not much difference between organizing a chancey heist and plotting to overthrow a corrupt ruler who thinks himself a god . . .
One might even suggest that Kelsier is the perfect man to do it . . .
Beyond his suitability for the task, there's something immensely likable about the image of this noble Fagin flipping a coin he keeps to anchor his Allomancy, the ability to metabolize and manipulate metals.
Here's the thing about Sanderson: the man's a genius. Now that I've familiarized myself with him, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop reading his books. Even if I'm not thrilled about the execution, there is always incredible potential in his ideas.
Take the concept for this series: what would happen if the hero meant to save the world . . . failed?
SO. We have servant class con men with flash + an immortal tyrant = Revolution! We have a world in ruin one thousand years after the hero of prophecy failed to save it. Add to that Sanderson's trademark misdirection, and, well . . . Despite my brokenness in the aftermath, how could I not read it? How can you not? Highly recommended, but only with LOTS of cake, or something stronger to drown your agony.

Entertaining and easy to follow, with twists and interesting characters
By sandpiper
I'm not quite finished with the book, about 2/3 through. Very interesting development of the future world and character attributes. I've read a lot of fantasy, but this is different. A Lord Ruler, a noble elite, and slaves comprise the cast, but the Mistborn have some interesting powers I haven't encountered before. Also, at this point in the story, some other characters, with different powers, are being revealed. The plot is intriguing and has some twists that are unpredictable. The story lines are easy to read and characters are easy to follow, but definitely not one-dimensional. Sanderson is a great writer, and this book is less complex than others of his I've read. I listed it as dark, but there's a hopeful aspect to it if everything goes according to plan, and some comic relief here and there. The dialogue is especially fun to read, and really fleshes out the characters. Truly entertaining and not as much work as some of the other EPIC fantasy I've just finished. (Steven Erikson's Mazalan series wore me out, and I don't know when Martin will ever finish SOIAF. This book is more along the lines of Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, Thorn in complexity, but it's an entirely different story.)

Sanderson knows how to craft worlds
By Amazon Customer
Mistborn is a fantastical novel by Wheel of Time author Brandon Sanderson. The story tells of a world ruined by evil and how the Mistborn, people with powers to influence the world and themselves, seek to overthrow the tyrannical Lord Ruler. Vin is a true Mistborn, able to utilize every magical power available to her when usually only a few powers are available, and her journey towards overthrowing the Lord Ruler is one fantastical adventure from slave uprisings to twists about truths that will shock the reader. Action packed and emotionally draining, Mistborn is a great story from start to finish.
Sanderson expertly crafts a believable world and firmly grounds everything in it to a certain set of laws and rules. No character is able to break these rules, which is unlike other stories where the hero seems to only win by destroying the basis of the laws the world is based on. The characters are well fleshed out and it is easy to relate to their ideals and desires. Enemies are believable and it is easy to fear them as actual antagonists. I especially enjoyed how Sanderson was able to take a new approach to beginning his story, in that the world is so ravaged by evil because the hero from a thousand years ago took the power he had and used it to shape the world as he saw fit. This really brings out the antagonist and pushed me to find out his motives. It was interesting to see the dynamic between the Lord Ruler and Vin as they both took the same path and how they reacted differently to the choices presented them. Overall, the story is easy to get into and is very deeply entrenched in lore that will excite fans of the fantasy genre. Mistborn is the perfect start to a trilogy that I am hoping to dive fully into as soon as possible.
