From Mistborn: The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Why does all fantasy have to be like that?
Please recommend some fantasy novels with themes of real liberation to me. I love fantasy but I hate that it's always a new monarchy people happily submit to...
He saved Elend Venture tho
Tbf he couldn't know Elend would become a king back then. I actually like a lot about how the post-revolutionary government is presented in the well of ascension. Elend starts out really idealistic and naive but that ultimately just opens the door for reactionary forces to swoop in and take control. I wish they would have just given him a position and title that wasn't hereditary though, would have made everything way cooler
