Summary
THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE
****
What if the Dark Lord won?
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 a criminal no-one can trust and a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all metals.

Brandon Sanderson proves a great find again
What did you like most about The Final Empire?
A great magic system that is gradually described to the reader without over explanation getting in the way of narrative.
What did you like best about this story?
The story drew me along so completely that the surprises were surprising and at the same time made complete sense and fitted.
What about Michael Kramer’s performance did you like?
Michael Kramer brings the characters to life and I never found myself confused as to who was who.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Empire needs a New Hero
Any additional comments?
Having only relatively recently discovered Brandon Sanderson i am looking forward to catching up with what he has written so far and keenly await the next in the Stormlight Archive. He creates large worlds that have breadth and depth while not over explaining with characters and plots. If you like fantasy you'll love the Mistborn Trilogy.

A pleasant Surprise
What made the experience of listening to The Final Empire the most enjoyable?
An interesting storyline with a particularly nasty baddie. The narration was first rate and the whole listen moved along at a good pace.
What other book might you compare The Final Empire to, and why?
Its written by the author of the Stormlight Archives. If you enjoy that series, then this is well worth a listen
Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer – was your favourite?
I think Michael Kramer brought all the characters to life. Nice Job.
Any additional comments?
I have now purchased the second instalment. The series is excellent value for money and helps the mundane duties in your day go much faster. Give it a go if you want something different. Be patient in the beginning, its a long story, but if you stick with it long enough, you get hooked.

A Great Story
A great story, interesting if somewhat underused cast of characters, a good but somewhat slow performance, with an excellent magic system that is well explained with well defined rules (even if the characters don't know exactly how it works) overall I heartily recommend.

Wow... just wow!
What an amazing and in-depth story!
Brandon Sanderson's first book of the series definitely delivers, i'm laughing, i'm crying, i'm wanting more! Kelsier is such a well written character, so unpredictable and intelligent. His story arc really shows the capabilities of what man can do when you take everything away from him. I've already started on book two.
If you have never read a fantasy book before, start with this one. You won't be disappointed!

Quality writer
Glad to have found a new world to immerse into written by such a talented writer. No ‘silliness’ and the magic has a solid foundation which makes this fantasy a solid read. Love Michael Kramer as a narrator and I’m not keen on American readers

Very original and exciting story
Fantastically original idea, you won't find yourself looking at metals in quite the same way after hearing about alamancy!

good listen
pleasant listen, good story, took a little while to get into it but persevere because it was an interesting story with good characters that you do get invested in and did make me say 'oh no!' aloud at some points. worth a listen.
