Book Review of "Mistborn #6 - Bands of Mourning"

“The Bands of Mourning” turned out to be a mixed bag of goods. On one hand, it follows the “Sanderson formula” to a T, a slow first act, a slightly better second act, and an insanely fast-paced, what-the-hell-is-happening-over-here third act! But on the other hand, the twists are slightly predictable and the character development isn’t super solid - with the exception of one character that I won’t spoil. What works and in my mind, makes this the best Mistborn Era-2 book so far is the perfectly executed ending. It ties up the story neatly and still ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger. Overall, if you have made it this far in the Mistborn Era-2, you won’t be disappointed. 4 out of 5.

Book Review of "Mistborn #5 - Shadows of Self"

“Shadows of Self” - the fifth novel in the Mistborn series or the second novel in the “Mistborn Era 2” has everything that you would expect from a Brandon Sanderson novel - crisp storyline, well-executed action set-pieces, at least a couple of well-rounded characters and one or more unexpected twists. Compared to “The Alloy of Law”, this time the stakes are higher, the scope of the story is bigger and the antagonists are deadlier. All in all, entertaining & engaging, solid 4/5.

"That’s the thing about having an eternity, kid. It gets really easy to procrastinate."
