In this world there is the Emperor, the Nobles and the Skaa. You really don’t want to be a skaa, they are slaves to the Nobles!  There are some people born with the ability to burn metals for special abilities and they are the Mistborn. Each metal does something different like make them stronger, faster with better sight as well as other talents.  

 

Kelsier is a survivor that is trying to get the skaa to rise up and rebel and inspires them. Vin is a criminal girl that has mistborn abilities. Kelsier recruits her to help him and his crew to overthrow the emperor. This is dangerous work but they are good with it even when there are setbacks. 

 

This book was simply written. The language is basic which is a good thing in my opinion, the reading just flowed. I loved it and am anxious to read the rest of the series. This is a good book for old and new fantasy readers.
