So I have a confession to make.  I expected to hate Brandon Sanderson.  I have a natural instinct to pull away from anyone or anything that generates such a rabid following.  I usually chalk it up to fan boy/girl passions like the folks who try to tell you that the second Star Wars trilogy was good.  They love it because it's Star Wars and they've abandoned their critical faculties.  I lumped Sanderson fans into that group and never gave his books a fair shake.

Then along comes the Legendarium podcast and this challenge and I figure I'll finally prove to myself that his books suck.  Well, I tried to not like Mistborn.  I went into it with my pre-conceived notions flared but after a few chapters I started to warm to the story and characters.  A few chapters later I really started looking forward to getting back to the book.  Then one day I realized that I was finally getting why all of you are so crazy about his work.  Next thing I know I'm totally hooked!  I raced to the finish when I got home from work tonight and I've already bought the second book.  I can't type this fast enough knowing book 2 is waiting for me.

I have drunk the Kool-Aid and I find it delicious.  Now, if you'll excuse me...
