Brandon Sanderson is a much talked about storyteller on this podcast, and this week the guys finally do a retrospective on one of his early breakthroughs, Mistborn: The Final Empire. After catching everyone up on the books they are currently watching, the guys take it back to 2006, discussing the state of the world when we were all first introduced to the magical system of Allomancy. There is lots of praise to go around when talking about Mistborn but it is not a perfect work, and there are definitely critiques of Sanderson’s early work. Cody and Zach talk about it all in the latest episode of Parallel Quest
