![]() ![]() ![]() There are strict rules to Allomancy, making it almost scientific, and I found that this made the system easily digestible. Rather than being a learned ability, Allomancy is genetically inherited. When her abilities are recognised, Kelsier, another Mistborn known as the Survivor, takes Vin under his wing, teaches her about Allomancy and introduces her to his crew, whose latest scheme is to overthrow the Final Empire.Īllomancy is perhaps one of the most unique magic systems I’ve ever read about. There two types of Allomancers: Mistings, who can only burn one metal, and Mistborn, who are able to burn all the metals. She’s their lucky charm, but unbeknownst to her, she is an Allomancer– an individual capable of ingesting and “burning” metals to grant magical effects such as strength, heightened senses or the ability to manipulate emotions, to name a few. The Mistborn trilogy follows a plethora of interesting characters, though the main protagonist through all three books is Vin, a half-skaa girl who is a member of a small thieving gang. Without giving away too much of the plot, the trilogy follows a crew who schemes to overthrow the Final Empire. The skaa population have been treated as slaves, and the world has been this way for over a thousand years. ![]() The Final Empire is ruled by an oppressive, god-like figure named the Lord Ruler and society is divided between the nobility and skaa. The first book introduces us to the Final Empire, a world where ash falls perpetually from the sky, mysterious mists come during the night, the earth is brown and the sky is red. This is one of the most masterfully written and plotted fantasy series I’ve ever read, and I’m very excited to pick more up from Sanderson in future. I’ve had this series on my TBR for at least 7 years and I’m absolutely kicking myself for taking so long to actually read it. ![]() The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson is one of the most highly recommended fantasy series I’ve ever come across. ![]()
