Mistborn Era 1: Trope Subversion at Its Finest

January 10, 2023December 30, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 1 Comment

As some of you know, I've become a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson in the past year. His Stormlight Archive series blew me away and I eagerly devoured more, this time the first Mistborn series.
