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.

    • 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

    • Exceeds Expectations!
Format: Kindle
I first became a Sanderson fan when he took up the mantle to complete The Wheel of Time series by the late Robert Jordan. I liked Sanderson's writing style, but had no idea what his true imagination contained, what stories he could produce on his own, and so I was a bit hesitant to read his successful series, Mistborn. Not because I didn't believe he was a good writer, but because I did believe, and feared being disappointed. After reading Mistborn, I'm now very relieved. Sanderson not only lived up to my expectations, but surpassed them. As a reader and as a fellow writer, I'm beginning to discover what I truly love most about a story. I love adventure, I love action, but most of all ...I love characters - good, flawed and complex characters. Mistborn had a great story premise, but it didn't' take long before the storyline took a backseat to the characters, and I'm quite happy about that. The first character to really grab my attention, and my heart, was the young, scared and vulnerable Vin - street urchin, orphan and skittish loner. I found myself quickly rooting for her and wanting to see her rise to greatness. Then, it wasn't long before, like Vin, I found myself LOVING the company of Kelsier and his Crew. Perhaps I have a soft spot for a little rebellion, who knows. I can probably blame that on my Star Wars geek side, where the oppressed come together to fight against the Empire. Then of course, I instantly fell in love with the bookworm and prince charming-in-disguise, Elend Venture. However, when I first met this last character, I rolled my eyes, because of the obvious Cinderella motif, but at the same time I had to smile, because there's a reason to use this formula (poor, abused waif becomes the belle of the ball and catches the eye of the dashing prince) - it WORKS! It's something ingrained into the psyche of every young girl, even if we don't recognize it. That was a smart move on Sanderson's part. Then, of course, there are all those other supporting characters that I also fell in love with - including the hero of ages. The genius I found in the Mistborn series Sanderson displayed came in the simple fact that he took the ultimate bad guy, and transformed him into one of the heroes. I have to again use Star Wars as another reference - in the way Lucas took the ultimate bad guy (Darth Vadar/The Lord Ruler) and turned him into a good guy (Anakin Skywalker/Rashek the Terrisman), to reveal the ultimate bad guy (the Sith Lord Palpatine/Ruin), and bring `balance' to the Force/balance of Ruin & Preservation. Whether or not these similarities are intentioned or not, they worked! Combine those attributes mentioned above, and then mix them with magical elements of allomancy and feruchemistry, with political elements of a democracy vs. imperial rule, and religious overtones and the struggle and evidence of faith through the Terris Keepers and the battle of Ruin & Preservation, you've got a perfect mix for epic greatness. However, I will also place Sanderson into the Evil Author's Guild for his flair in killing many beloved characters and revealing a hidden, but pleasantly surprising, hero in the end. ~T.L.
