REREAD NOV 2024

I've really fallen behind on my reviews, so it's actually been a few months since my re-read. This is another great entry in the mistborn series.

Now that I've finished both eras 1 and 2, I can confirm that I actually like this second era a bit more. The plots are more self-contained, which makes the books a really easy and fun read. Also, era 2's time and technology level makes thinking about all the nuances of the magic system so fun to think about and really lets the readers' imagination go wild. Overall, I loved these books, and I would love to see these characters show up again in other cosmere works.


ORIGINAL REVIEW EARLY 2023 5 STARS

A really enjoyable wrap-up to era 2 of mistborn brings in a lot of cosmere connections and makes me very excited for the future of the cosmere.

Dammit Sanderson! How does someone make you want to throw a book across the room and yet love it at the same time?
