Basically, title. On my side, it might be unpopular, but I was quite disappointed with the Mistborn Trilogy. The world is interesting, I like the concepts, but I could just not connect with the characters? I finished the first book and started the second but could not finish it.
This is blasphemy. But I respect you for taking the risk in saying this.
I’m going to send him the Mistborn trilogy engraved in steel. Perhaps he read a copy that was corrupted by Ruin?
But how can I trust that you aren't corrupted by Ruin?!
Look at my username. If anything Odium has his hooks in me.
Oh Teft! 😭
Have you read way of kings? Different series, better characters
I know, I might give it a try later
Way of Kings is incomparable. A shining achievement. Unfortunately each following book in the series gets worse, until the last one is just an overly long exposè on mental health problems.
Holy shit yes. I thought Way of Kings was incredible, and thought I found my favorite book series. Then the next book was fine, and the third book was so insufferable I quit after 800 pages. Never even made it to book four, which I hear is even worse.
Way better characters.
TBH I had the same experience. I was excited to read it since I had heard so much about it but the characters just felt sort of flat to me.
Try some of the other series by Sanderson, it was his first series, and not the best written. If you don't like his other work too, then maybe he just isn't for you.
Thank you for the advice!
I found era 2 of mistborn to be way better. The same magic system I liked but now you add some modern guns/etc. The characters are way better imo.
