I have to be honest, I was a little worried when I started this, because what if I didn‘t like it. But now that part one is done, I have to say, I think I might love it. I am definitely intrigued by Vin and I can‘t wait to read more. How did everyone find part one? Are you loving the Cosmere yet?

Andrew65 I‘m going to be a week behind. Should be able to pick up my reservation from the library on Saturday so will catch up at the weekend. Pleased to hear you are liking it. 2w
LeeRHarry I wouldn‘t say I‘m loving it but I‘m intrigued enough to keep going. The magic system is pretty cool. 😊 2w

EadieB I actually started reading it and I‘m loving it too. I didn‘t sign up because I was afraid I wouldn‘t understand it as I‘ve never read fantasy but I didn‘t have trouble following the story and I‘m looking forward to the next installment. 2w
Andrew65 @EadieB Sometimes for me some fantasy feels like a form of historical fiction for a different land or world. 2w
EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m looking forward to trying more fantasy. 2w
Meshell1313 Ooh same- it took awhile to get into it- but now I‘m hooked! I love the idea of “collecting” a group of misfits who can all come together for the same goal. I‘m intrigued to see where Kel and Vin‘s relationship goes. Curious what everyone else thinks about their relationship. 2w
rabbitprincess I really like the magic system. The 11th metal that is less known feels very One Ring. Everybody knows there are 8 basic metals and 2 noble metals, “but these metals were all deceived, for another one was made” 😂

I like how Kel brought the group together with his plan. He didn't bring the group a fully formed plan; he expected them to disagree and come up with ideas to overcome challenges, and that made them buy in more easily.

JacqMac @EadieB Glad to have you @EadieB Like @Andrew65 said, I find fantasy to be a lot like historical fiction too. But with magic. lol 2w
JacqMac @LeeRHarry I like the way he is introducing us to the magic. It‘s very understandable. I was a little worried that it would take some time to get into it. 2w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 Yes! I love the concept of a group of misfits. Their relationship feels very father/ daughter to me. Or at least a wise old uncle. We shall see. 2w
JacqMac @rabbitprincess I love Kel as leader. He‘s very open and democratic. “One metal to rule them all” 😂 (edited) 2w
EadieB @JacqMac That‘s a very good way to say that! I love the idea of the metals as a form of power! (edited) 2w
Jess861 I love the idea of using metals as a form of power. To me it blends real world with fantasy. Can't wait to start part 2! 2w
JacqMac @Jess861 I like the use of metals, too. It makes the magic feel accessible. 2w
DogMomIrene I haven‘t started yet. Once I finish my current ebook, I‘m diving into the Cosmere. Happy to read that people are liking it.🙌🏼 1w

Spent the morning reading and finished part one of Mistborn. It's been four years since I read this book which means I pretty much remember nothing but I thoroughly enjoyed reading part one. Can't wait to discuss and start part two next week!

The time has come! I‘m so excited to jump into the Cosmere. And to have you all come with me. Here is the reading schedule for the first book. Reading the story as it‘s already divided, seems to be the best way to start. I like a logical stoping and starting point. I also don‘t want it to feel overwhelming. But let me know if you have any issues. If anyone else wants to tag along, please just let me know.

Jess861 So excited for this! As of this afternoon I'm off work until the 6th so I plan to get started on this book tomorrow. 3w

I can‘t reveal too much (it is a secret after all). Recommend reading after Mistborn Era 1 for the full affect. 4/5

I really tried. I was going to give this series another shot, because the first one was good, and I thought I could pick it right back up. But it‘s not happening. So my first bail of 2024. #notforme 😩😢☠️👎🏻📚⛰️

"I am, unfortunately, the Hero of Ages"
This trilogy was amazing!! The magic system is unique. All of the characters' developments were so well done.
There are so many cool races of people, too!
The first half does drag a little with all of the political talk, but the second half is non-stop action. The ending was so perfect and heartbreaking.
I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

This was a great sequel to the Final Empire.
It picks right up where the first left off.
The mists are starting to come during the day and attack people, and Elend is now king and is facing multiple armies trying to take his throne.
Vin is struggling with determining who she really is, as well as seeing a figure made of mist.
The book ends with another twist and another threat.
I am enjoying this series and look forward to the third book.

#Betterlatethannever Finally posting my July #Storygraph wrap up. I had a good reading month, but a lot of the books I read were in that kind of meh > it was okay range.

My husband is finally catching up to where I am in our Mistborn buddy read, so I‘m looking forward to continuing with the 3rd in the trilogy (but maybe not for another month or so).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an excellent culmination of this series. And the ending of this book. Wow. I think I‘ll be thinking about it for a long time.
I enjoyed the whole journey - I read and listened to it, and Michael Kramer is an excellent narrator.
My husband finished it not long before I did, so the “oh and then Sanderson did this!” conversations have been plentiful.
I‘ll definitely be traveling more into his Cosmere!
