Description

From 1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, a newly-designed boxed set showcasing where the Mistborn Saga all began―the original trilogy. Once, a hero rose to save the world. He failed. For a thousand years since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist, ruled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler. Every revolt has failed miserably. Somehow, hope survives. Hope that dares to dream of ending the empire and defeating the Lord Ruler. A new kind of uprising is being planned―one that depends on the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind and the determination of an unlikely heroine: a teenage street urchin named Vin. Once, a hero rose to save the world and failed. This time, can a young heroine succeed? Mistborn: For a thousand years, the ash has fallen and no flowers have bloomed. For a thousand years, the Skaa have slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years, the Lord Ruler has reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror. Until Kelsier, a brilliant, half-Skaa thief and natural leader, finds in himself the powers of a Mistborn, and turns his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. The Well of Ascension: The impossible task has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler has been vanquished. But with Kelsier dead, too, the awesome task of building a new world has been left to former street urchin and Kelsier's protégé, Vin, who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. Vin is now worshipped as a hero in her own right, but she is haunted by a strange, vaporous entity hidden in the mists. The Hero of Ages: Having escaped death only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. But with the return of lethal mists, increasingly heavy ashfalls, and ever more powerful earthquakes, Elend and Vin aren't sure that killing the Lord Ruler to end the Final Empire was the right thing to do after all.

  • Simply Amazing-What a wonderful high Fantasy Story
Format: Kindle
The character building, the world building, the quirky friendships, the magic system, all of it was mesmerizing. This trilogy was so worth the ready. I fell in love with every last one of the major characters for individual reasons and the story has been very well written. I love books with quality, and in depth storytelling. ... show more

  • Refreshing Fantasy Series With Female Lead
Format: Kindle
I will try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible. I was looking for a fantasy book (or trilogy) with likable female characters that were capable of doing things. This trilogy wasn't precisely that, but I liked it enough that it didn't matter. All in all I would definitely say this trilogy is worth reading. Anyone and everyone can get something out of the winding and unexpected path it takes to get to its conclusion. So, what about the female characters? While the main character (Vin) is female, almost all of the side characters of any import are males. Only Allrienne, and Tindwyll got any reasonable amount of screen time besides Vin, and even then, neither showed up until the second book. Allrienne, despite her amount of screen time, didn't really even do much of import in either of the last 2 books. A couple other female characters had minor roles (Shan, Amaranta, Beldre) with impact on the plot, but had very little screen time, and thus, were a bit more cardboard than they should've been. All in all, I felt like: 2-3 of the people in Kelsier's crew should've been women instead of men, and at least one of the two people vying for Luthadel in book 2 should've been a woman. Either OreSeur or TenSoon could've identified as female (such as their race can do) without any change to the plot, and one of the main antagonists could've been female. No female Inquisitors or Obligators that I recall seeing, and certainly none that had speaking roles or roles of any significance which means nothing would be changed by making some of them female. Almost all Allomancers were men (except Vin, Shan, Allrienne, and B...). Demoux could easily have been a woman without changing his plot at all, and to that point, I can't recall any other officers in the army being anything other than men. I will admit, I'm very glad Sanderson had the change of heart to make Vin female after writing the first chapter. But he could have gone a little farther and gender flipped some of the male supporting cast as well, since it wouldn't impact the story, but would mean a lot to the female reader base. The above was really my biggest gripe. And, while there is a bit of disappointment at what could've been, I did enjoy the story thoroughly regardless. All of the characters were fun to read about, and fit their parts well. Other Negatives: - Endless resources of metals except for Atium, which is obsessed over. I didn't necessarily want an "economics of supply and demand" story, but I feel like completely writing the limited supply of metals off as a given is going too far. Someone has to mine, process, purify, alloy, pulverize, and distribute these metals, and yet more people have to take a measure of each metal and alloy and combine them into the vials that the Allomancers carry around. This economic channel was completely glossed-over in every single book. And only occasionally was it a concern that someone ran out of metals, and then, only the metals on their person (there was always more in a crate back in camp/at home!), despite much of the main characters' time being spent under siege (or laying siege without resupply). What about potential for corrosion or rust while the metals were in storage? How many empty glass vials got thrown onto the ground over the course of 3 books? - The most flagrant abuse of this ignored metal economy was by Spook in book 3 -- how much metal was consumed daily for him to be able to flare Tin constantly (for months?)? Flaring is a much more accelerated form of metal consumption than burning, as evidenced by Vin flaring Pewter for hours to run long distances. Plus, Spook was alone in a city that he (and Elend) definitely did not control, with no resources (in terms of money or Allies) to support him. There was no way he could've had this huge of a supply of Tin without someone (bad) noticing, or Elend becoming suspicious at the amount of Tin he was using, or unless Tin was utterly dirt cheap. - Mention in book 1 of the metals being potentially poisonous if left in the stomach unburned for long periods of time; however, nothing is ever done with this mechanic. It is never mentioned how Kelsier or Vin or anyone gets rid of their metals at night like is implied must be done to keep them from being poisoned. Aluminum, the metal which burns up all remaining metals in an Allomancer's stomach, was supposed to be something only the Inquisitors knew about, and regular Mistlings couldn't burn it besides (unless they were an Aluminum Misting), even though they also could suffer the potential poisonous effects of their metals. - Sazed's emo-ness in book 3 got old after a while. I understand the point of it, but I felt it was beat to death. - Straff Venture was a caricature of a villain, and was much less interesting than the Lord Ruler or Yomen (or, to a lesser degree, Quellion). - Zane's role in book 2 makes no sense until you read book 3, which makes book 2 seem much weaker (and more confusing) while reading it. - Penrod seemed really underused in the books given his position of seniority/authority. He really felt like a character of author convenience, rather than an actual human with hopes and dreams and desires. Which is contrasted against so many other good, well-thought-out characters. - In some instances, the books went too far with the main characters barking up the wrong tree. A lot of time was spent on a misdirection and then when you discover it was a misdirection, you feel like you've wasted half a book reading about something that didn't matter. Positives: - Vin is a refreshing female lead character. She is unparalleled in skill, in physical prowess, despite being small of stature. Generally speaking, we don't end up in victim-like situations with Vin that couldn't just as easily have happened to a male in her place as protagonist. She doesn't hesitate to do what needs to be done, killing or otherwise. She doesn't pine all that much for Elend, and her estrangement from Elend doesn't cripple her in any way in book 1. - Not a lot of time is spent on romance in general. I like a good romance, sure, but this trilogy didn't need it, and I'm glad it was covered quickly (for what characters that had it) and without much fanfare. - Sazed was a breath of fresh air. Everything about his character was entertaining (except the Emo). - The magic system is refreshingly different. I like the notion of a clearly consumable resource that produces magical effects. It gives a different dynamic to the struggle of the powerful (magical) people in the setting compared to others. - I appreciate all the work that went into the setting, making it different than just "yet another medieval earth with elves" and the effort that went into tying the reasons for the setting being the way it is into the main storyline throughout the trilogy - Yomen in particular was an excellent antagonist in book 3. After a fashion, you could sympathize with him after so long of never expecting to be able to. - TenSoon's race and culture was nice and interesting, and I really enjoyed the chapters told from his perspective. - Marsh's final contribution in book 3 we knew was coming down the pipes for a long time, and it ended up being a very butterfly-effect sort of "last hurrah" for his character. The form it took was totally unexpected, but made total sense, and he would truly be the only character who could ever have known that this particular thing was what was needed to help push Vin back on the right track. - The finale in book 3 was great, and lived up to the personality of every single character involved in it -- Elend defended the people to the very end, Vin got to murderface someone who thought he was unkillable, and Sazed got to put his super nerd-itry to epic use. ... show more

  • No spoiler review. Amazing series with something for everyone.
While I've always read a variety of books, it has been a while since I indulged in SciFi/Fantasy. Seemed like all the fantasy books involved dragons, wizards, elves, animals, and strange worlds, and that just did not appeal to me. But, my son, who inherited my love of reading, thrived on such things. Like a good son, he suggested, repeatedly, that I read one of his favorites. I, giving in finally, in turn made him promise to read In Conquest Born, just to show him that I still could recognize good books and SciFi and that I was familiar with something other than historical romance. He promised he would...and I finally read Mistborn. Wow! There's plenty of reviews and descriptions here, so I'll just stick with a short explanations of why I thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy, why I ordered my own hard copies, and why I will be reading it again and again....and why you will be, too. *It is not magic. Or, it isn't like the traditional magic most people think of. The whole system of powers based on metals is brilliant,detailed, and it makes sense. And, there's three of them! No foolish wand waving here. *The characters are engaging, understandable, real, and well-developed. There's no brooding hero who saves the world, no mysterious savior. Instead, there's a group who, working together, accomplish what appears to be impossible. Each character is distinct and has their own voice. And, thankfully, no one is perfect. These characters have their flaws, doubts, and weak moments. But, they do their best and look beyond just themselves. Anyone, we find, can be a hero. *The story is exciting and amazing. It's not as simple as good vs evil. Sometimes, life is not just black and white...and sometimes it is. Not only is the plot exciting, full of twists and surprises, but it will make you think and wonder. *It doesn't read like fantasy. Obviously, it is fantasy, since you swallow a penny and your parents will worry and watch until said penny makes its way out. Nobody will say, "Burn that copper, kid!" The story is much more than simple fantasy. You get caught up in the people, the adventure, and the world they live in, and don't notice. This is plain, good story-telling. *You can "see" it. By this I mean that the descriptions are rich and so well written, you can 'see' what is going on as you read it. I get lost in few books, but with this trilogy, I was THERE, choking on the ash, in awe of the noble keeps, sick and weary of the fight. *There's romance! Ah, well, I must admit I am a sucker for romance, particularly that involving angst and difficult times. While there's not so much in the first book, be assured there is more to come. *There's values. I am not interested in political science, however I found it fascinating how the author brought it into the story. Being a good leader, whether political or military, is not about following rules and laws or being mighty in strength. Yet, sometimes that is exactly what is most important. At one point in the trilogy, a leader must decide whether or not to follow the letter and spirit of the law, even though it would mean his loss of power. His decision was, for me, one of the most powerful moments in the story. Honor does have a place in leadership and politics. Also, there's an ongoing discussion of religion. While philosophy of this sort might not appeal to some, it is an important part of the whole. However, those who do not find it interesting can just gloss over it without giving it any more thought. *There's humor. I rarely enjoy anything, no matter how well written, if it does not involve humor of some sort. Sanderson manages to bring in quite a bit, despite the bleakness of the story. *There's plenty of it. Each book is about 700 pages long. Even so, you'll want more. And, with so much detail in this well-plotted and thought out world, you can reread it again (and again) gaining more insight and discovering small things you missed the first time around. In this case, knowing how things work out makes rereading it enjoyable since you can look for clues and details. *There's more! Well, sort of. There is a sequel,The Alloy of Law: A Mistborn Novel, set several hundred years ahead. New characters, but there's at least a connection...and the promise of more to come. And, why buy the boxed set? Four reasons: 1. Saves you $$. This is the cheapest way to get the set. Who doesn't like saving money? 2. After reading vol 1, Mistborn, you will want to read the others, and will certainly not want to wait for them to be delivered. Here ya go- all three, ready to read! 3. Hard copies can be loaned or passed on to others. I'm not knocking ebooks- I have a Kindle HD and love it. 4. The cover art is lovely. OK, so maybe this is not really a good reason. But, I like the printed covers, and I am the type that pays attention to them and how they relate to the story. I highly recommend the Mistborn Trilogy, whether you buy the boxed set, Kindle editions, or buy each book individually. I'll be paying closer attention to my son's suggestions in the future, for sure. (And, he'd better read In Conquest Born!) ... show more
