Brandon Sanderson is quickly becoming one of my favorite fantasy authors. I love his books, his settings, his characters and in particular his tweaking of magic systems. Elantris has the whole Elantrians are the "godlike" creatures who use hand guestures to write runes in the air to pull magic from the source. Warbreaker had the divinity magic system. The mistborn tweaks this with Alamancy (burning of metals for effect) and Ferrochemie (storing self attributes in metal pieces). I finished this book on the day of the fourth title in this series and I am looking forward to "catching-up" in this series. Excellent fantasy novel.
