My son Matt gifted me with a Kindle book for my birthday last month. It was
Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn #1) by Brandon Sanderson. So, even though I don't normally gravitate toward epic fantasy (except for Tolkien), I'm giving it a try. Wish me luck!

This is an interesting observation. It's actually kinda' analogous to my experience with material written by British writers or by period writers who have their characters speak in the jargon of the time. All supposedly in English, my sole language, but just a little hard for me to interpret somtimes. I'm now curious to know (if you don't mind) what might be your first language?

I guess that you're probably somewhere up in the Alberta Rockies?! If so, what a beautiful place to be!!
