My biggest criticism of Mistborn is that the world is entirely men besides the main character. And she hates anything even slightly feminine (for good story reason). In fact a group of our semi-protagonist young men discuss women as being a diversion not to get too invested in. The whole atmosphere doesn't feel great as a female reader.
Nice to read though, that a movie might be in the works & there's interest in diversifying (Sanderson has acknowledged the problem).
