CBR 15 Bingo: Politics – Mistborn Era 1

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson

August 20, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

***Spoilers for the first book in the series*** ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The Well of Ascension: I loved the first book in this series, The Final Empire. I love a well-done Fantasy heist, and I dearly loved the characters, so I was eager to get into the second book. This was a completely different beast. The Well of Ascension is much more focused on the politics of rule, especially after the end of a tyrant. Kelsior’s Crew has installed Elend Venture, the young political […]

The End of An Empire

The Final Empire - Mistborn Era 1 by Brandon Sanderson

May 5, 2023 by RevGirlUtena 5 Comments

I had this book on my TBR for a loooooong time, and I’m so glad I finally got around to it. It was every bit as good as everyone said. Vin is an orphan who grew up hungry in the slums. She always knew that she had an ability she called “Luck” that helped her in tricky situations. What she didn’t know was that she was actually an Allomancer, or a “Mistborn”, someone gifted with the power to draw magical abilities from metals. She is […]

Edge Dancer – it fell off a cliff

Edge Dancer by Brandon Sanderson

May 4, 2023 by MarkAbaddon Leave a Comment

My son got me started on the Stormlight Archives series from Brandon Sanderson and I fell in love with the story. They were complex, filled with interesting characters and a world that was richly defined. None of that is present in this book. Edge Dancer takes places after book 2 of the Stormlight Archives and focuses solely on one character that appeared in a brief aside in book 2. One of the strengths of the previous books was the multitude of characters, all of whom […]

“Even small actions have consequences. And while we can often choose our actions, we rarely get to choose our consequences.”

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

April 3, 2023 by narfna 2 Comments

Backing Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Project Kickstarter is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. Tress of the Emerald Sea is the first of those four secret novels Sanderson wrote during the pandemic when he wasn’t touring and had some “free time” on his hands. Of course what Brando Sando does on his free time is write more books, because he famously takes a break from writing to recharge by writing something else. The guy is a straight up nerd and I’m so glad […]

A perfect way to start the year

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

January 26, 2023 by postcardsandbooks Leave a Comment

This book was the best way I could think of to start my reading year. After going through a bit of a reading slump the last couple of months of 2022, I awoke on the first of January  to the first of Brandon Sanderson’s secret projects in my inbox, and I was so excited to get to it, I was done with it by January 3rd. For those of you who don’t know, Brandi Sandi spent his lockdown year (the year I spent in despair […]

the end of an era, literally ::insert Chris Traeger gif here::

The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson

January 19, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

Good book. Good series. Five stars. My brain when trying to get up the willpower to review this book beyond those first three sentences: I just, when I have feelings about a book and I turn my thinky brain off a little bit while reading, it’s then hard for me to articulate all the big emotions with my tiny words because the wrong part of my brain was in charge for that. I am always putting this part of my brain in charge, and let’s […]
