Ahhhh Brandon Sanderson. Your books fill me with joy. I am constantly amazed by Sanderson and how he can write so many books but have them all be so flawlessly perfect. I’d love to know what goes on in his brain to be able to imagine the worlds that he does with all their infinite detail.

As soon as you start reading the first page, you’re sucked right into the world, like dipping your head into a Harry Potter style pensieve, it’s like being right there inside the story watching it all unfold around you. I’d say I’d love Mistborn to be made into a film, but I don’t think it would do it justice.

I’ve been wanting to read this book since it first came out, but I much prefer paperbacks to hardbacks, so I had to wait quite a while for it to be released. But it was most definitely worth the wait; to be back with Wax and Wayne again was fantastic.

I love the fact that these new ‘mistborn’ books are still in the same world as Vin and Kelsier, but they have such a different feel to them – more like your typical crime/thriller books that just happen to be set in this world filled with allomancy and feruchemy.

But this world seems to be getting darker, and characters from the past start making appearances. And for Wax, the strangest thing is that the Gods are talking to him. And as well as trying to battle through all these situations, he’s also getting married to Steris. An alliance of convenience and mutual benefit, but not one of love it seems, for Steris seems about as far in character from Wax and his friends as it is possible to be.

My favourite part of this book was that we get to hear more from Wayne. He’s such a wonderful character, so funny and off-the-wall, with his propensity for stealing switching things and his ability to take on personalities to blend in how he does.

I don’t really know how to say much more without giving away plot spoilers, and I don’t really want this review to be a gush-fest about how awesome Sanderson is, but it is what it is I guess.

The one great thing about leaving it so late to read this book is that I have Bands of Mourning sitting on my shelf ready to start straight away, I can’t wait to dig in!
