A must read!

What did you like most about The Final Empire?

This was my first Brandon Sanderson book and ended up becoming one of my favourite books of all time. The story was fantastic and set in an amazing fantasy world. This story is incredibly well written. and I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great writing!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favourite character was Kelsier, the leader of a a thieving crew and a powerful Mistborn which is someone who can ingest metal to gain power with each metal giving him various different powers such as super strength or heighten his senses. Kelsier is one of the main characters and the story revolves around his ambition to kill the tyrannical Lord Ruler who is essentially God. It was the ridiculous scope of this quest which kept me hooked to the story!

What about Michael Kramer’s performance did you like?

Kramer's performance was mostly excellent. He did a fantastic job bringing characters to life with his voice, one of the best performed audiobooks I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book had me gasping in awe more often than any other book has. It continually surprised me again and again and had me hooked from start to finish

Any additional comments?

The Mistborn trilogy is one of the best I have ever read.

Loved it!

I wasn't expecting to love this nearly as much as I did. I really loved the characters, while this was only really an introduction to them I really appreciated that none of them were cookie-cutter-perfect types. They all had flaws to them and they were all really well rounded. I loved the magic system and I really loved the plot as a whole. I hardly put this down.

What I appreciated is that this book could essentially stand on its own, I want to read the rest of the series, but this was action packed and had good character development so doesn’t feel like some of those series where the first book is just a nondescript character building event. I felt some of it was a bit predictable but I can forgive it because on the whole it was great.

The narration was slightly difficult for me to get in to as I'm not really attuned to the American accent, but once I got there I really loved it!

Take the time.

I loved it, but I'll admit it, took me 2 hours before I really got into it. Once the story had me hooked it was worth it!

Interesting, captivating

Creative characters and combat structure, interesting storyline and beautifully brought to life by Kramer.

This was my first time reading Brandon Sanderson or hearing any narration from Michael Kramer but it has captivated me and am pleased to see that this duet continues to blossom.

Very enjoyable story

A very enjoyable story with an interesting system of magic. Can't wait to listen to the next one. The narrator does a decent job, but there's very little variety between the voices of the characters.

Fantastic book with great narrator

Loved the story, twists and narrator. Other Sanderson/Kramer books are great, but I was entranced by this story and quickly digested the rest of the series.

The book that started my audiobook obsession.

Starting this book early 2020 has resulted in me sinking over 590 hours into various audiobooks. I found myself truly captivated by this world and these characters to the point where I'd be laughing, cursing and crying alongside them.

I've reccomended this book more times than I can count and have since gone through a long list of Brandon Sanderson novels.

As if the story wasn't brilliant enough the icing on the cake is Micheal Kramer's voice which I found perfect for this book.
