Brandon Sanderson commented on this review via reddit! See below.This review originally appeared on my book blog.The original Mistborn trilogy was a masterwork of fantasy, artfully combining a cool magic system, detailed and lush worldbuilding, and a plot and characters that were incredibly enthralling, weaving them together so perfectly that every piece depended completely on every other piece. Sanderson has spoken and written about his goal for the world he created: three trilogies, spanning m...

Another day, another great Sanderson book. “Some mistakes, though, you can’t fix by being sorry. Can’t fix them, no matter what you do.” I haven't written a review in a while because life has just been crazy lately, but this book definitely deserves a proper review. Let's start at the very beginning. Somehow, Brandon Sanderson was able to rip my heart out and burn it just with the freaking prologue. How is that even possible? The only other author who managed to do that was Colleen Hoover

i've really been putting off the second era of mistborn bc i heard so much about how it lacked compares to the first era.........and while that has SOME truth to it, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN “That hat looks ridiculous.”“Fortunately, I can change hats,” Wayne said, “while you, sir, are stuck with that face.” don't really have much to say on the book bc SO MUCH HAPPENS but this takes place wayyy after era 1, where all the characters we love and adore are known as myths and legends. our current main ch...

3.5I was warned this wasn't the best one in this new series but I'm just happy to be back in this universe. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go now technology is advancing!

1.) The Final Empire ★★★★★2.) The Well of Ascension ★★★3.) The Hero of Ages ★★★★3.5) Secret History ★★★★★ "Huh [...] tea's poisoned." Oh, I loved finally experiencing this next era of the mistborn world, especially in a city called Elendale (be still, my heart)! Yet, I was not expecting this book to start out with a very tragic murder plotline where the bodies are arranged in a very specific pose, and for the actual story to be taking place five years later where Wax is very much still...

I mean...Sanderson is just amazing. He writes so well, his characters are SO well-drawn, you simply can't stop reading. There's a feeling of completeness in his plotting that makes you feel completely taken care of. The worldbuilding is stunning and vibrant and new...it's just, kind of ridiculous.This is a followup in the world of Mistborn, but you DONT need to read the first three to understand what's going on (you should read them though, because it is icing on the cake as far as details.) Thi...

I'll be honest, I was really skeptical to start the spin-off series at first as I think very highly of the original Mistborn trilogy and I'm quite sure the spin-off won't be able to top it in terms of quality and its epic story. It left me wondering will it be worth it to invest more of my time in this spinoff series? Now, after reading The Alloy of Law, I can say it's true that it doesn't top the original trilogy in terms of quality and epic scope. However, is it worth it to invest your time in...

Reasons to read Mistborn Era 2:A. Wax and Wayne B. Wayne and WaxC. answers A and BCenturies have passed since the events of The Hero of Ages, our original friends are long gone, but their legacy remains. Waxillium Ladrian has been a lawman in the Roughs, the wild lands outside the city where there is no law or justice, for twenty years. A tragic accident that kills his uncle and sister leaves him as the high lord of his house and Wax finds that he has to return to Elendel, the home of his childh...

“Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions. But I do offer warning. Even a good thing can become destructive if taken to excess.” The Final Empire ★★★★ 1/2The Well of Ascension ★★★★★The Hero of Ages ★★★★ 1/4The Alloy of Law ★★★★ 1/4🌟 I loved the first Mistborn trilogy very much and it is a series that I think about a lot, I think it made me realize that I prefer fantasy books with a hard magic system because it feels very smart to me! I was hesitant to jump into t

6/11/17 I buddy read this with Warda, who shares my love and adoration for Mistborn & BS. SO GOOD to be back into this world again. And as a huge fan of the Mistborn trilogy, I knew going in that this would in no way match the original series in terms of… well, epic-ness (for lack of better terms) however, I was still certain that it’d not disappoint. It is, after all, Mistborn #2! It was yet another damn fine work by the one and only.If you're a fan of the original trilogy, you will undoubtedly...

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars "Wayne, you can't make bets with people when they aren't there." HOLD ON. HOLD ON A SECOND. I NEED TO SAVOR HOW HAPPY I AM IN THIS MOMENT. You guys, I cannot express how much I adore the Mistborn novels. The series is written so well, with characters that I love. This was such a clever and seamless transition into a new Mistborn era. As we have seen, adding to an already golden series doesn't always work out for the best. I'm looking at you J.K. Rowling. Wax and Wa...

This isn’t Mistborn.This is a fantasy retelling of The Lone Ranger meets The Dark Knight Rises. With guns and gangsters. And magic.Lord Waxillium Ladrian returns from his life as a lawman in the rural Roughs. Coming back to Elendel to assume the mantle of head of his house after his uncle’s untimely death, he engages in the social life of the urban nobility. Until Wayne appears, and all changes…”I think it's one of his personal failings. I try to help him out by being damn near perfect, but so f...

I surprisingly large step down from the quality of the original Mistborn series Check out my new youtube channel where I show my instant reactions to reading fantasy books seconds after I finish the book. I wanted to like this book so badly, and my expectations were sky high. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it like other Sanderson works. The world felt rather bland to me, the story was shallow, and the twists weren't as mind blowing as some others (except for one at the end). I...

I mean, are we in any doubt that Sanderson is THE main man, THE author of epic and original fantasy?!I swear, he's close to being a god. I cannot fathom how he writes books like this. Where does he get his ideas?This glorious story is set 300 years after the events of The Hero of Ages. The transition to this world was just smooth and epic, with some of the lands and Houses being named after the characters in the Mistborn Trilogy. Safe to say I squealed numerous times and felt the need to cry as

I know people get very excited about the pretty covers but does anyone else, like me, care more about the title? Just listen to these & tell me they don't promise awesomeness! 1) The Final Empire 2) The Well of Ascension 3) The Hero of Ages 4) The Alloy of Law 5) Shadows of Self 6) The Bands of Mourning (This has got to be my most favorite one!) 7) The Lost Metal (IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS?!)
