Mistborn Final Empire

Mistborn Final Empire is the book that I chose to read for my 2nd quarter SSR, it is a the first book in a series and follows a timeline where the main character, Vin, is a citizen under The Lord Ruler, who is known as such because he is said to have a "Sliver of Infinity", which is a piece of God, making him divine. Vin is taken in by a thieve crew, who treat her better than any other crew she has been in. My favorite character of the book, Sazed, is a friend of the thieve crew leader who acts as their servant at times. He is a scholar who knows hundreds of religions that he preaches to the main characters at every possible moment. He is very humble and doesn't like having attention drawn to him, but also has much latent ability not explored in depth until later books. His mysteriousness and politeness is what draws me to him at first, and how they hint at his powers as well. He is a static character in this book but in the later books he changes dramatically and questions who he is. This also attracts me to him because he seems like an unchanging person amid a changing world but he also goes through these changes, just later then everyone else, in the last book in the trilogy. Just showing how complicated a character he is because of his originally static character to the most dynamic person in the series.

  1. The character that you described was very intriguing and I like the way that he doesn’t want to bring attention to him and humble. Hope I can read it so if I believe that this is my favorite character.
