Some people just aren't cut out to read fantasy it seems. I mean, if you're going to complain about gender roles in a fantasy world then you clearly don't understand the whole idea of fantasy as a whole. Fantasy, for me at least maybe not for others, is all about escapism. For an author to take me from one world, into another. Mistborn is probably one of my favorite series ever because Sanderson does such a good job introducing the world, to the point where I as a reader understand how it all works. I believe it's Sanderson's First law which states; A character's ability to solve problems with magic is directly proportional to the reader's understanding of said magic. This is such a great rule, because it means that whenever a character uses magic, they're not just like "Oh yes actually I have this one spell that is perfect for the situation but will never use again." When I read books, I do it for the story. But Sanderson's unique, interesting and compelling worlds just amplify the experience so much more.

River Stixx We're not suggesting anything, it's common sense. You don't pick up a broom and expect to fly with it, do you? By extension, it should also be fairly obvious that ingesting metals DOES NOT grant you magical abilities (sadly). When reading a fantasy book, it's important to have a mindset that it's FANTASY. Rules and regulations present in our world may or may not apply in the book because it's world has its own rules to follow. Now, if it breaks its own rules, that's another matter certainly worth criticizing.

Just a small correction. on "They have the ability to ingest any kind of metal and get powers from those" While it's true a Mistborn can use any kind of allomantic metal, they can't use ANY metal. As burning a non-allomantic metal can make a Mistborn sick. (Or maybe it was kinda intentional. Maybe this counts as a spoiler? I dunno.)

There are some boring moments, but cmon Tigana's first chapter was boring as hell and that was a good book. I think people who hate on Final Empire (that very small minority) should go and read I-novel and literature instead. That said have not read six of crow and probably will be picking that up

Rainy Liu it’s funny, I don’t think his writing is bad! It’s somewhat concise and to the point, which I think is almost necessary when you have such complex worlds. But I do agree that the first Mistborn book kinda read like a video game tutorial at times. I didn’t mind though-I love video games! 😆 And yeah, the comparison there with Six of Crows...didn’t make much sense. Also, that person and I obviously have very different reading tastes, cuz I couldn’t finish Wizards of Earthsea!

I agree! I really do enjoy his concise writing because if he does have flowery writing I think his books are going to be so much long haha. I think it's understandable that the first Mistborn book reads kinda like a tutorial because it's such a complex world and it can be hard to explain everything without getting a little tutorial-like. I've never read Wizards of Earthsea but now I'm a bit hesitant! What is it about the book that didn't work for you??

Honestly, and major disclaimer I'm still trying to get through the book, but as my first introduction to Sanderson's work and with all the insane hype built up around it I was really disappointed. It feels like the first draft of a YA novel not a mature high fantasy, I really don't get why people love this book so much. Hopefully it gets better.

I don't think it reads anything like YA at all. What are you comparing this too? I would say Sanderson's high fantasy is similar to that of certain shounen anime excluding the fan service of course. This is not Grimdark, but high fantasy does not require it to be grimdark.

In the spirit of the mean comments: "worst video ever, I was too distracted by how cool the booktuber was to pay attention to the points she made. One star"

Elliot Brooks ok got it. Thanks! He has a few series I guess so I didn’t know where was the best place to start.

Hahaha I love these sassy reviews. Even if I don't agree with them, cynical reviewers are the most delightful ones out there in my opinion. Or perhaps the most irrational or angry...XD

Erised Moon haha, EXACTLY!!! I mean, I think I can respect the ones that rationally explain why they didn’t like a book, but the over-the-top ones like these are far more entertaining 😆

Gotta admit The Final Empire is vastly overrated. One star is unfair but a surprising amount of these reviews are spot on.
