Hmmm I'll probably need to revisit this rating once I get a better idea of where the overarching plot and characters are going; Sanderson tends to be much more persuasive with higher page counts. Still, I'm sufficiently intrigued, fond of the cast (some more than the others - I'm not particularly at...

I read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy last year and it is one of my favourite epic fantasy works. I hope that one day I can actually review those books here, maybe after reading them again, but for now I'll just say that I became a fan of Sanderson's writing, his world building and the way he ...

The Alloy of Law....hmm, what to say about it? It started off slow and asked me to invest in the characters before I knew them well enough. As the story progressed things finally started to pick up, and I even felt like I liked the main characters. They never endeared themselves to me, however, an...

The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson is a western crime story based in a fantasy world that has progressed to the industrial age. It tells the story of a lord who used to be a lawman, a lawman who used to be a criminal and a criminal who used to be a lawman, and if that wasn’t confusing enough, eve...

I didn't really like this new Mistborn story.If I look at this book as part of the Mistborn series, it falls way short. I found nothing of the trilogy's atmosphere and magic in there. It's nothing like the original Mistborn books, period. Even the way the abilities changed, it's like a new system in...

I can now officially state that Brandon Sanderson is my favourite living fantasy author. There is something he adds to his work that causes me to love it. The fact that he creates great novels regularly, with that essence that I admire and with powerful storytelling is a gift.I had bestowed upon his...

{Spoilers}First off, i am still very annoyed that Lessie died. I had in my mind during that first chapter that these two characters, Wax and Lessie, would be like how Mare and Kelsier were... little did i think Sanderson would end their story much in the same way. Sigh. So, because of that i found i...

Though some serious Brandon Sanderson devotees might see this book as lighter and more inconsequential than his more epic-length books, it is by far the best written of all his books. He doesn't struggle with pacing issues at all here, and the story moves along at a fast clip. Sanderson creates soli...

I don’t know what to say that has not already been said in other reviews. I simply love Brandon Sanderson and his brand of genius. When I began the Mistborn series it just utterly consumed me. I loved Vin, Kelsier, Elend and all the other secondary characters like they were my best friends. I loved...
