Y u no more specific?
Not that far into the first book at the moment (think 200 odd pages) but the setting and story are both intriguing so far and I love the characters. It's also paced real well which is great as it prevents you from getting bored while reading (I'm looking at you WoT Book 10). I heard good things about the trilogy and after seeing Sanderson at work with the last 3 WoT books, I decided to give his books a go.
It's set in a time where one race (skaa) are slaves that are worth nothing, the land is covered by ash and the Lord Ruler has power over all. The rich do what they want and no one bats an eye, but a "rebellion" is forming. There are Allomancers in the world, people that use metals to perform "magical" acts and all of them are either nobility or have noble blood. The "rebellion" is lead by one such Allomancer and he intends to get rid of the Lord Ruler.
If you like fantasy epics though, you'll definitely like this

ROFL! Thanks [MENTION=6280]Blazzok[/MENTION]
Added to my list, I love fantasy and after Erikson I was looking for a new world to immerse myself into.
I'll grab the first book after I finish the Trader Tales - which will be soon by the looks of it

In the past 3 weeks I read both The Way of Kings, and Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #1 and #2 ).
And If I've said it once, I'll say it again, Brandon Sanderson is one ambitious author. The grand scale and scope of the plot, the world building which is pretty much a staple of Sanderson, the compelling characters, the highly ambitious and imaginative magic system, and the highly visceral and immersive action sequences that keep soaring to some insane heights in terms of sheer finesse.
Once you're done with The Mistborn Trilogy, head on over to The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson... Good times

I still almost have the presence of mind to burn that book... Never has book enraged as much as Crossroads of Twilight (Book 10).
The trilogy really is good. I suspect you'll have a good time all in all. And the pacing is just right. Also, freaking Allomancy

I'm busy with the Mistborn Trilogy at the moment, so can't suggest it yet, although from what I hear it is awesome as well.

Beteken dit jy het al die hele farseer trilogy gelees?
Hulle het 'n shitty pilot gemaak van die prologue, so tegnies kan jy Eye of the World by Robert Jordan lees as jy nog nie het nie (vir nr 51)
Nog een is nr17: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
nr20: Fifty Shades of Grey
(kan ook werk vir nr39)
