Cool Mistborn: The Final Empire

The rest of the trilogy is also very good, even though I liked the first one the best (aside from the Alloy of Law, but that stands on it's own).

From what I've read, so far, I agree with Abtcha - its a really good book. I just need some quality reading time.
Gotta' agree, after the prologue (the prologue turned me against the book the first time I started reading it - I didn't even get to the end of the prologue before giving up) and the first 5 chapters, I'm happy with it.

I'm aghast at myself for not including Codex Alera when I said "except for Tolkien"!
