at about an hour in, mistborn appears to be a competently written and exciting but thematically basic and occasionally pretentious action fantasy series. I couldn't be more satisfied, this is exactly what scratches the itch. I don't think I'll have much more commentary on it.

#it's not really trying to be....politically/morally high-minded like I think a lot of modern fantasy writers are #as in 'oh we can't kill them we'll be just as bad!' nope those are slavers and overseers and um we are going to murder them #and we're justified! we are scammers and thieves also #the magic powers are kind of cool too but appear to be racially linked so...ehh...#also the treatment of SA and sex work is. predictable for a series written by a man w a male lead #but I didn't expect much better #like EYE think the morality of the characters is excellent but there's no moral or political lens to the actions in universe #YET. the one guy appears to be a rebel. but the rest are just doing it to survive.#but he's right and he doesn't have to justify himself. he's just right #cor.txt
