Have been meaning to get into the Mistborn series for a while and finally got around to the first book. I really enjoyed it. Brandon Sanderson is such a great world builder. The plot is gripping, but in a slow and methodical way. There are faster paced stories out there, but I liked that the characters had time to develop rather than rushing from plot point to plot point. His magic system of allomancy is amazing and only slowly unravels throughout the book. Some of the scenes I could already picture as a movie (matrix-style bullet time, but driven by a coherent magic system). Maybe we'll see a movie of this series someday.
