Exceptional world-building and magic system

The Mistborn series completely redefined what I thought fantasy could be. Sanderson's magic system is incredibly detailed and logical, making every scene feel grounded despite the fantastical elements. The character development throughout the trilogy is phenomenal, especially watching Vin transform from a street thief to something much more. My only minor complaint is that some of the political intrigue in the second book dragged a bit, but the payoff in the final book made it all worthwhile.
