Goed en spannend verhaal binnen de Mistborn serie van Brandon Sanderson. Naar mijn idee hadden de gevechten wel wat minder van het verhaal in beslag kunnen nemen. Af en toe duurde zo'n beschrijving wel erg lang. Natuurlijk is deze serie verder niet vertaald. Iets wat ik nog steeds niet kan begrijpen.

I had been skeptical about picking this book up after seeing some mixed reactions to the second era from other Mistborn fans, but I'm glad I decided to give it a chance. This first book definitely felt less epic than the original trilogy, and in many ways it felt like an entirely different world. That being said, the magic system felt extremely familiar, just with some new and exciting twists, and I appreciated the interspersed references to the original world and characters.
The hardest part about getting into this first book was that I'm not normally a fan of Westerns. Thankfully, Sanderson wrote this era in a way where the Western elements weren't too overwhelming. I think that the characters helped as well, as I was invested in them early enough that I wanted to keep reading for them at the very least.
The epilogue on its own had enough hints of what's to come in future books that I'm even more excited to see how things continue from this point on. While this first book was pretty small in scale, it feels like future books won't be the same and I look forward to that.
If you're already a Mistborn fan, I definitely suggest at least giving this book a chance, if only to have the experience of being brought back to this universe.

Been putting it off for a while, but I must say, this was much better than I expected it to be. A great read, one which makes me anticipate the future books as well. 4/5 for this one.
