Brandon Sanderson: The Final Empire - Mistborn Book 1

 This is a book that I've read multiple times and realized that I've never reviewed. So here I am, finally posting my review.

Vienna follows her sister and starts working with the underground, trying to find a way to save Siri.

Overall, this book is another Sanderson masterpiece. I love how carefully the plot is
