It’s confusing at first, but things start to fall together, although you definitely need to pay attention! My main problem was some of the fight/training scenes. The world building in this story is second to none, Sanderson really dives right into it. The peasant group- the Skaa- have been suppressed for a thousand years but a new revolt finally offers hope- led by a rare half-Noble and rarer Skaa Mistborn. Those with this power can either burn one or all of them- the latter group are known as Mistborns. The general populace is scared of going out into this, but many nobles are Mistings, with the ability to burn Allomantic metals, granted to their ancestors by the Lord Ruler. This story takes place in a dystopian-esque world where there are brown leaves and a red sun, worshiping anyone but their dictator/god is treasonous and terrifying mist is everywhere.
