Book Review – Mistborn: The Final Empire
Author: Brandon Sanderson Cover Artist: Christain McGrath Publisher: Tor Binding: Mass Market Paperback Publication Date: 2008 I will freely admit I only picked up Sanderson’s works to see who was the man that would finish Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.
