Your post made perfect sense Danni, and it was really awesome! Really enjoyed it. :)

I've finished Chapter 4 of Mistborn, and I have to say I'm really, really, really enjoying it. Story's excellent and the characters are fantastic. I love how its not Tolkien esque with elves and dwarves (so far?) and there isn't a ridiculous level of superfluous description and instead just gets on with the plot. Really really cool novel, thanks for recommending it. :)
