I originally found Mistborn because I was told, correctly, that it had a great magic system, back in my early twenties.

Vin as a tomboyish introverted woman in her late teens happened to be a decent avatar for me in my early twenties as a tomboyish introverted woman to identify with. I liked the character and the trilogy.

But more importantly, it got me into Sanderson’s broader universe, which has a lot of characters to identify with. 

 I loved that trilogy.
