Brandon Sanderson is my new..or I should say current.... favorite Author. He wrote the Mistborn trilogy.
Now Mistborn has one of the most original system of magic that I have ever heard of. It is based on Allomatic metals that are burned in the user's stomach. Sounds gross? Well I guess. But each metal gives the user a certain power. Like Pewter. It gives the person strength. Copper is like a radar blocker for the other allomancers that are trying to detect you using the metals. It is a fantastic series of books that has love and plot twists and in the end a religious undertone that isn't at all overbearing. The ending is a surprise...as all of Mr. Sanderson's book are.
I know I haven't been up here lately. If you'll forgive me but I've been working..and working hard... on my writing career. That seems to be going slower than I had originally planned. But none the less its going. I've all but given up on putting up my stories here. It's mostly fanfic..and even though there is nothing wrong with that... I've found an audience that likes my stories. But I'll keep coming on here to let you know about books I think are worth a read. I'm going to try to do a few more reviews up here on some of Mr. Sanderson's books. Like Elantris and Warbreaker. Both awesome reads.
Also when inspiration comes back for my art I'll begin posting them as well.
Until then my very small audience and my friends. I will be back. Soon I hope..
