Publisher's summary

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families, and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived, and there is rumour of revolt. A revolt that depends on criminal that no-one can trust and a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all metals.

A little too detailed at start but a very nice story

Good voice - I’m able to distinguish the characters from each other in the way he uses his voice.

My kind of world

What I like about reading fantasy novels is the elaborate universe that I can immerse myself into. Brandon Sanderson created my kind of world, with magic (limited, which is great for the action sequences), politics, friendship and social tensions that falls perfectly into place it feels natural.

I hope the same goes for the next two books.

Compelling to the very end

A very interesting world, with an interesting magic system. It always keeps you guessing what’s behind the next corner and still manages to pull out some pretty big surprises. I can’t wait to start the next one!

Great story and narration, but cut off at the end!

The story and narration deserve 5 stars, but what's up with the audio book ending abruptly before the end? Roughly a page at the end of the last chapter and the entire epilogue are missing! I guess that explains why this version is 24 minutes shorter than the Macmillian audio book. I had to get the book from the library just to finish the story...

Not disappointed.

First purchase on Audible, though I'd read Sanderson's stuff before. Took a little getting used to listening to a story rather than reading it. Other than that, the story just slides off the page - and into your ear. The telling is also masterful and captivating. Already on the last book.
