 Recently had the Mistborn series recommended to me, anyone else read them? I’m currently working on book 2 of the Crucible series and want some opinions

They’re def not bad, I think the only thing that made me finish the series tho was how much I love his other books and how they’re connected. I think my main problem stemmed from how it’s marketed as a heist novel, it really isn’t. I went in expecting something like the lies of Locke Lamora and that’s like apples and oranges. If I didn’t go in expecting that I may have been fine. The second book was a bit rough, but I absolutely loved the third and the little novella that comes after it

I just read Tress of the Emerald Sea as my first Sanderson book and really liked it! What should I read next?

I was only told about the allomancy which really grabbed my attention with how they described it. Just seems really cool

Era 2 is fun tho, a bit different from my normal read, less serious maybe, but I didn’t have any expectations going into those so I found myself enjoying them more than I thought I would. Tho the only mistborn book I gave 5 stars to was the hero of ages. (Secret history was close but since it’s so short I think I gave it like a 4.5-4.75)

Oh yeah the magic system is definitely cool, I tend to find that with Sanderson reads. He does a lot of neat and unexpected things with it too that youll enjoy if that’s your main draw to read it

Np! Just be warned, Sanderson starts with just one book or series and the next thing you know you have an entire sandershelf with all kinds of books and knick knacks lol

Depends if you want to jump into a series or continue with standalones I’d say. Of his other standalones I think Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is the safest to read without having read anything else. For series I’d say start with mistborn, but if you’re already well acquainted with epic fantasies and complex worlds, Stormlight is my favorite. And inbetween is Warbreaker, it’s technically a standalone (for now) but has a lot of connections to other books, it’s safe to read it before them tho
