Finished reading: The Final Empire: Mistborn Book One by Brandon Sanderson 📚

\n

A very easy read; almost a young adult book. And so many of the characters are just so nice. My favorite character was Shan, who we all hate, but who created some needed conflict.

@cliffordbeshers It was a decent first season if you grade on a generous curve, but it showed flashes of promise. I’m am getting my hopes up for this season, in spite of my better judgement.

I haven’t given up on Wolff, but I think with the lineup we have now, we’ll know for sure one way or another by the end of the season.
