The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

Book Club Meeting: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

Step into the ash-covered world of The Final Empire, the brilliant opening to Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy. In a land where the Dark Lord has ruled for a thousand years and the skies rain ash, rebellion flickers in the shadows. Sanderson reimagines the fantasy hero’s journey through a tale of oppression, faith, and the power to reshape destiny itself.

Follow Vin, a street thief who discovers she possesses the rare and dangerous powers of Allomancy—magic fueled by metal—and joins a crew of revolutionaries determined to overthrow an immortal tyrant. With stunning world-building, inventive magic systems, and profound moral questions, The Final Empire invites readers to ponder what it truly takes to challenge a god.

Expect a rich discussion on hope and rebellion, trust and transformation, and the cost of power in a world that’s forgotten what freedom means. Whether you’re new to Sanderson’s work or a longtime fan of epic fantasy, this meetup is your chance to explore one of the genre’s modern classics with fellow readers ✨

And don’t worry if you didn’t quite finish the book—you're still warmly welcome to join! Come for the conversation, listen in, share your thoughts, and connect with fellow readers 📚
