Description

Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.

Once, a hero arose to save the world. He failed.

Ever since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist controlled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler.

But hope survives. A new uprising is forming, one built around the ultimate caper, the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind, and the determination of an unlikely heroine: a street urchin who must learn to master the power of a Mistborn.

    This guy writes some good books! I hope to see them turned into movies someday. But I truly hope they stay true to his books.

    If you enjoy high fantasy you will love this book. So much going on it’s hard to sort but carry on, it’s worth it.

    This book is so well written. Quirky, fantasy. I was wrapped in the whole time, borders on a 5 for me. Rarely do I give 5s, only when the pull emotions from me I didn’t expect.

    Slow start, banger ending. I have a feeling book 2 is going to be really, really good. Solid twists and great character development. The tiktokers were right.

    Words cannot describe this novel. Genuinely stunning twists to the very end. Read it, you will not be disappointed.

  • Should be young adult

    Good idea, very poorly written. These books should be classified as young adult. I will say, the magic is really fun to read about — it’s the type of book you wish the author to revisit after they’ve honed their craft. You will read the same sentence about a thousand times. A lot of arched eyebrows (seems to be the only thing people can do to react to anything). A lot of inane conversations and internal dialogue that add nothing to the story. A lot of sieges that really don’t have a large impact on the actual problem facing the characters. Etc, etc. Pushed through the first bc the ratings were so good, I assumed it would get better. It got worse. Pushed through the second. Got halfway through the third (by far the worst) and gave up.
