Mistborn was an okay read. Vin and Kelsier were interesting characters, Vin in particular. I wasn't so fond of the heist setup but it worked. The author's contemplations on power, heroism and fanaticism were thought-provoking and a nice interlude every few chapters or so. The general dynamic between the crew was always fun to read. I appreciate the fact that the author

did not feel the need to drag out the defeat of the Lord Ruler over all three books, but instead addressed that in the very first book. However, this does also mean that I do not feel particularly pressed to read the next book. One gripe I have about the story is the fact that Elend Venture becomes king. I mean, come one! Mans is an idiot. Yes, their world does need an idealist right now but he is not the sharpest tool in the shed

. 

All in all, if you enjoy a cocktail of fantasy, political scheming, otherworldly combat scenes and a light twist of underground crime you will enjoy this book. The world that Sanderson created was unique and detailed, with the Inquisitors in particular being a nice sinister touch. The end of the book was a little harried for me but I was relatively satisfied with the way things panned out.
