I can't believe I finished a 24 hour audio in about 10 hours lmao. This was such an intense read! The first part of the book was very dense, and most of the world-building was introduced all at once. It was really hard to connect with the characters at first, because I felt like they … Continue reading Backlist Review: The Final Empire (Mistborn #1) by Brandon Sanderson
