In any case, his books made me stop fearing the mega books. This is particularly true to Brandon Sanderson’s mega books. I have also realized that my reading speed is inversely proportional to the number of pages remaining in any book. I feel scared, I feel my heart racing, I feel amazed. I feel probably all the emotions in a mood wheel.
I can’t say any more without giving up major spoilers, but believe me, the ending is something that will make you feel like everything is right in the world again.īrandon Sanderson’s books make me feel so many things. It tied up all the loose ends and the ending itself was super epic. The third book is what redeems the series. I was kind of thrown off by the ending but it certainly made me start the third book right away (good thing I was reading an omnibus). It went in a completely different direction. The second book was really slow and super boring at times. The first book was slow and at times I felt like giving it up but the story always pulled me back. Mistborn series follows this structure not just in the individual books but also in the series. Then when you get to the ending everything you thought should happen happens but not in the way you imagined. His endings are so satisfying that all his sins are excused. And then the final section comes and you fall in love with reading all over again.īrandon Sanderson is the master of endings. It just feels like we can’t wait to find out what happens next. The middle section moves at a good pace but it feels like it’s moving too slow if you know what I mean. So naturally, it’s slow and boring at times. The initial part of the book builds up the world, introduces the characters and takes its time to explain the magic system. Certainly not for those who want a quick read. Saying this I have to make one thing clear that his books are not for everyone. For instance, right now I am reading another series penned by him (Storm light Archives) where the average page count goes over 1000 pages. This series, however, is probably one of the smallest series written by him based purely by page count. Brandon Sanderson is a great writer and an even greater teacher. Now you must be wondering why did I mention the page counts for each of the books. The three books being – The Final Empire (Page count 541), The Well of Ascension (Page Count 590), The Hero of Ages (Page Count 572).
Well, to be precise, I read the first trilogy of Mistborn series last year.
