11. Mistborn

By Brandon Sanderson (643 pp)

I was ready to read a big fat fantasy book and this book won. I loved it. Several times I was jolted out of the story to find that sadly, the bus had pulled up to my destination and reading time was finished. My out-of-control book pile is well documented but I had to run Powell's and get the next two in the series. It's a gang of thieves heist but also saving the world people with varying types of powers. Nothing is quite what it seems. Recommend.
