I’m about 115 pages into The Final Empire (Mistborn#1) and I’m really struggling to stick with it. Does it get better the further I get in?

Absolutely, unless Sanderson just isn’t your thing.
Nope. Not in my opinion. I couldn’t finish it. Hated Vin and was just really bored. I’m not a Sanderson fan at all. Wish I liked him but I just don’t.
I thought it got better and better the more i read.
I loved it the whole way through, so my opinion probably isn’t much help. I suggest you push through though!
I love that series. Read it many times. Yes it gets going soon. Keep with it
Thank you, everyone. I’m going to keep plugging along. I’ve heard a lot of good things about him and the series so I’m wanting to give it a chance.
I liked it all the way through, I think, but that was years ago. I heard someone say the other day that it took them about 150 pages to get sucked in, that the start was so heavy with world building that it didn’t engage them for over 100 pages, then she read through the whole trilogy and all the books that are out in the follow up series.
Sometimes a new epic is hard to get into whilst you find your bearings in the world the author has created when I read gardens of the moon (malazan 1) for the 1st part of the book I did it have a clue what was going on!
No it doesn’t. Sanderson is awful
It does. Especially near the end.
Yes it does
I was hooked by that far in…
Maybe it’s just not your thing.
The first book is your usual hiest executed well. Kelsier is the best character.
The second one has a very interesting spin as a sequel but is a slow burn.
The third book is fucking beautiful that’s paced perfectly. It’s a fitting ending that I didn’t see coming.
I can’t read Sanderson. I tried. He makes me cringe hard.
