Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read.
- Open to a random page.
- Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn't give away too much. You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
I still haven't finished the book from last week (it's been a busy week) so I'm reaching back to one I finished before joining Teaser Tuesday.
In Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson creates a world where the Lord Ruler is a tyrannical ruler, oppressing the common people for the past 1,000 years. Think of it as a sort of medieval period with extremes in the classes and rebellion but add in powerful abilities fueled by metals and one ruthless king that's ruled for the past millennium. And really, I just can't do the storyline justice so please find a copy (or borrow mine) and read it for yourself.
Here's the Teaser: "Only high noblemen could be Mistborn; they were said to be a secret sect of assassins who served him, only going out at night. Reen had always taught her that they were a myth, and Vin had assumed he was right."
- pg. 65, "Mistborn" by Brandon Sanderson

Secret assassins? Awesome teaser.
Oh, wow, such a great teaser! I love the cover for Mistborn too. :)
Hmmm... I don't think I could ever read this book. I've met the author, let's just say TOTAL DOUCHE.
Great teaser! The book was recommended to me a while ago, but I still haven't gotten to it yet.
Interesting teaser! I love finding new authors to read. Definitely going to look into Sanderson's work.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, you make we want to read it all over again. One of my favorite series EVER.
