Does Mistborn live up to the HYPE? NO SPOILER review (Episode 38)

[@buttercup9292]

Great review. Hope you continue with Mistborn. I love both eras. Also his Stormlight Archive books are Wonderful. The magic system in those is incredible. I highly recommend those!❤ Any of his books really.

16:20 If you look at the numbers and the legend on the city map, you'll see you DO in fact have Keep Venture, Hasting, Lekal and Erikeller, Clubs's shop, and a whole other lot of things in there, even on the one you show before :D. Though perhaps those weren't in your books....? I'm also pretty sure there's an appendix with the metals on the back... Not positive though.

You have it but with the 8 base metals only for the final empire I think, and you got more metals for the other books

[@akhilmanchanda7055]

Would definitely recommend looking into mistborn era 2, its a different approach to the story and has a more modern vibe, but some of the character dynamics are actually even more deep and interesting than in the original trilogy - plus they continue to add new aspects to metal based magics and even technology in mind bending ways. I liken it to the avatar the last Airbender and legend of Korra if youre familiar, but more fully realized. Hope to see a well of ascension review down the line!

(Lana replying) I'm definitely looking forward to diving deeper into the Cosmere. I just started Elantris and am loving it so far.

[@akhilmanchanda7055]

​@@ReadingCrossbow awesome! If you end up liking that one a lot, check out The Emperor's soul. It's a short story that takes place on the same world as elantris, but in a country the elantris characters don't interact with. It's part of the Arcanum Unbounded cosmere short story collection that I'd definitely pick up if you're thinking of digging deeper...

You guys should read Lightbringer, for the magic system 😊. Good show 👍😃

It's on Lana's TBR! Thank you!

I was saying on Rob's channel, the audio book is so good. It was like an action movie, the push and pull of metals, it was very intense. I read and listened to the audio book a few months ago after watching a different review and it reminded me just how good this was.

[@ReadingCrossbow]

(Lana responding) The audio book was more "meh" for me, but I loved reading those push/pull scenes. So good!

[@rafaelblake7278]

I've read mistborn era 1 and i end up giving this first trilogy 7.8/10 score. It's good, not bad, but not that great either for me. The characters are fine; i love Vin, Elend, Kelsier, Ham, Breeze, Spook (especially him, i LOVE him soooo bad). The plot is so-so, the romance part tho... idk, not my cup a tea in this series. And then the ending... I hate the ending tbh. Not because what happened to our beloved two main characters, but about SAZED... 🤣

[@ReadingCrossbow]

(Lana replying) I was not prepared for Spook's character getting such a cool arc!! So good! Also Breeze, I just love Breeze.

[@AzDraon1]

Its one of the best 2 books i have ever read. The third… i think it mishandles it immensely.

[@ReadingCrossbow]

(Reply from Lana) BIG AGREE!!! And I know that's hugely debated, but I hate the ending of 3. The rest of Book 3 was fine for me.

[@Lord_Nordan]

I was underwhelmed, but only because some reviews said the series is among the best ever written so my expectations were very high. Still a good series. I was entertained.

[@ReadingCrossbow]

Did you real the full series? Book 1 is definitely slower but Book 2/3 are jam packed with action and delve much deeper into the magic system.
