I mean, Mistborn's a cross between lyric fantasy, hard fantasy, and wuxia fantasy (oddly enough, when I talked to Saunderson's editor on the subject, he confirmed that wuxia was a deliberate source; I so want to see Mistborn filmed), but it's a -great- blend -- and much better as a series than it was as the first (admittedly, quite good) book.
