Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn Review

Ever since discovering Brandon Sanderson I have simply devoured his books.  Mistborn is set in a contemporary fantasy world that has seen disaster on a scale we can scarcly imagine.  The sun is red, the stars are hidden even by night, and somthing dark and ancient stalks the mists.  Ruling over this is a hard and dark ruler, maintaining a status quo for his own dark and mysterious purposes.

Into this world comes the Mistborn, people who, after drinking certain metals, become super-human.  They can fly through the night, effect emotions, and stir a rebellion that has been a thousand years overdue...

 I highly recommend this book, and the two sequals, which continue the future history of this lost world.
