The first book is really good! The 2nd book can be harder to get through, but stick with it, because the payoff in book 3 is nice.
I also think you might enjoy Mistborn 4-7 with a new cast of characters. I like the slow exploration Brando Sando has started doing into gender and sexuality, though it's a little cautionary rn.
Oh this actually is making me a bit more hopeful for the rest cause my main complaint right now is that it’s very,,, uknow cishet man fantasy? Like you know injecting a bunch of misogyny because they can’t imagine a world without women being seen as lesser n stuff
It really is! I think he's said in an interview that his biggest regret with Mistborn is the lack of women in the "main cast" and that the setup has been heavily inspired by the normal heist movies, which go for a similar setup.
