Fucking right. His female characters make me so happy (I can actually relate to them! Holy shit!).

IKR? I still have to read his non-Mistborn books but yeah, Vin is amazing. The rest of the main characters in the books are great too and I wish there are more hours in a day so I can READ ALL THE BOOKS!

TIME TO GUSH ABOUT THE WOMENS

Sarene, the main female character of Elantris, is this crazy cool woman who's like "fuck convention." The ladies of her new court are all, "let's embroider things" and she's like, "I think I'm going to teach you to fence," and they're like, "but...embroidery?" and she's like, "NO. FENCING, DAMMIT." So pretty soon you've got a whole bunch of sword-fighting women who are starting to think outside the box and it's awesome. Meanwhile, Sarene's uncovering and foiling plots and in general being fabulous. (This is his weakest book, mind, because it was his first, but it's still very creative and has compelling characters).

Jasnah in the Way of Kings is a world-renowned atheist scholar who bitchslaps a priest with logic. Her student, Shallan, is a female Shardbearer, and it's foreshadowed that she's gonna tear shit up later on in the series. As it is, she's very intelligent and cunning. Not all of her actions are precisely...justifiable, ha, but you still root for her.

Siri and Vivenna in Warbreaker are...it's actually kind of hard to describe them. Vivenna starts out somewhat dislikeable because she's so rigid in her dogma, but she goes through a trial and comes out of it kind of a badass (honestly, the best part about her is the way her character develops and changes over the course of the book). It's hard to say anything about Siri without giving plot points away, but she's instrumental in changing the fate of a kingdom and its king.

I LOVE THEM ALL, GODDAMN.

Damn they all sound so badass WHY ISN'T THERE MORE TIME???
Seriously, Brandon Sanderson has been on my reading shortlist since he started writing the WoT books and I've only finished the first three Mistborn books since then. Sarene sounds like someone I'd really like, too...
