In Mistborn: The Final Empire, did you enjoy ...

... a clear, high-stakes mission driving the plot?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If you loved the relentless drive and purpose Vin and Kelsier brought to their grand heist against the Lord Ruler, you'll be hooked by The Lies of Locke Lamora. Here, Locke and his band of thieves take on impossible cons, navigating danger and deception in the city of Camorr, all propelled by a singular, audacious goal.

... a large, dynamic cast of main characters?

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

If the interplay between Vin, Kelsier, and the rest of the crew was a highlight for you, The Way of Kings will deliver even more. You'll become invested in a sweeping ensemble, including Kaladin, Dalinar, and Shallan, each with their own journeys and secrets that interweave across a vast, magical world.

... deep personal growth and transformation in the protagonist?

The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

If watching Vin grow from a street urchin to a powerful Mistborn resonated with you, you’ll be entranced by Kvothe’s evolution in The Name of the Wind. You’ll follow his journey from a gifted but destitute child to a legendary figure, facing adversity, loss, and self-discovery along the way.

... complex heroes who grapple with difficult choices and morality?

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

If you were fascinated by the way Vin, Kelsier, and their allies blur the lines between right and wrong in their quest to overthrow tyranny, The Poppy War offers even more shades of gray. As Rin rises from poverty to power, she faces gut-wrenching decisions and the true cost of revolution, making her journey as morally challenging as it is compelling.

... a creative, rule-based magic system that shapes the world and plot?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

If the intricate rules of Allomancy in Mistborn captivated you, you’ll be thrilled by the unique ‘scriving’ magic in Foundryside. Here, magic rewrites reality itself through detailed commands, playing a central role in both the technology and the high-stakes heist at the heart of the story.
