When someone picks up a fantasy book and plans on reading it, they always ask themselves one question. Will this book have any originality? Those who don’t read fantasy books may not realize how saturated the genre can get. Luckily with Mistborn that is not a problem.

During my tenure at USU Eastern, I have written some interesting opinion articles. From my first article, where I wrote about the hell of being bi-polar and trying to fit in, my dating advice articles, hearing Dr. Susan Polster tell stories about how Mae Goss, (past editor-in-chief when I wrote those articles) would walk around the newspaper lab cursing my name, to eventually dabbling in news stories. I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun writing for the newspaper. But this piece isn’t about me, this piece is about the amazing Price area.
