Just thought I'd throw this out there... I was at the book signing yesterday and was impressed by the number of people who showed up. I managed to be in the first ten in line, and it was worth the wait.
FYI on the reporter girl... I hope the article turns out, since she was pretty clueless. She didn't even know the titles of either Elantris or Mistborn when she spoke with me, and all we managed to do between me and the guy next to me was confuse her. I hope someone else clarified for her!
Now it's time to get honest... I was a little apprehensive about what I'd be getting. I received Elantris as a present, and although I enjoyed it, I had my complaints (don't take this wrong - I may just be picky!). But I decided to give Mistborn a chance, and was pleasantly surprised.
I hadn't planned on even starting reading it yet, but... by 5:00 this afternoon I turned the last page. Wow! Definitely worth waiting in line! I believe this is a much more polished novel than Elantris (I'm not putting down Elantris, rather I'm praising heartily Mistborn). The characters are more real, more fleshed out. The level of detail is outstanding. The premise is definitely unique, and well thought out as well as presented.
Be proud of yourself; I see a bright future for this trilogy, given such a good start.
