Kiya Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hi all! I've heard a lot about the whole Cosmere universe and then some, but I've just started reading Mistborn for the first time ever. About halfway through. Trying to avoid spoilers, but I think I've heard a chunk of them from friends already. 4

I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan and have read some other fantasy, but I'm enjoying how quick-paced this one is. Super engaging and exciting, and doing a great job of covering all bases and potential plotholes. 9 hours ago, BloomAgeOne said: Welcome to the 17th Shard! Which characters in Mistborn are you the most interested in so far? Hmm, good question. I don't know if I can pick one! I'm really enjoying watching each character develop. I like that Vin is beginning to see the humanity in the nobility and is questioning Kelsier's total hatred of them. It's super intriguing watching a character's black-and-white morality get questioned--especially in sci-fi/fantasy, I feel like there's usually a group of villains/ultimate evil that needs to be eradicated, but this is more complex.

If you like fantasy then you should read The Stormlight Archives after you finish Mistborn.

That's one of my favourite aspects of Mistborn too (besides how awesome Allomancy is). This is something that I find Brandon does well in all of his work. In particular, I second the Stormlight Archive recommendation for after you finish Mistborn.

I CRAVE to have the chance of rereading Mistborn with a clear mind as if reading it for the first time. When I finished Mistborn (Era 1) I couldn't stop thinking about philosophy and religion, and the awesome truth bombs Brandon puts in his books. (it felt like) my mind was expanded! The Mistborn Saga (and everything else) is just AMAZING!!!

Stormlight Archive is definitely going on the list!
