Mistborn Era 2

The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson

The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson

by 6 Comments

My goodness, I read ten books by Brandon Sanderson this year. I will probably finish The Rhythm of War when it comes out too. What a Cosmere-centric year! That universe represents about 20% of everything I read this year. This series is known within the Cosmere as Mistborn Era 2. It takes place about 300 years after the events of the Mistborn Era 1. In those missing years, Scadrial has undergone somewhat of an industrial revolution. There is burgeoning electricity and motorized vehicles are beginning […]

The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson

A family friend recommended The Starlight Archive to me a few years ago and I read them earlier this year. That of course led me down the rabbit hole of the Cosmere, author Brandon Sanderson’s overarching, interconnected series of books. Essentially, he plans for nearly 40 books to all be part of a shared universe, which is amazing, especially since not all of his books are a part of the Cosmere. The man really is a machine. This review contains MAJOR spoilers so please be […]

“I’ve seen Steelheart bleed.”

Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

I heard of and picked up Steelheart (2013) by Brandon Sanderson because my boyfriend recommended it to me. I felt bad that he was reading all the books I recommended to him, and I wasn’t getting around to those he’d recommended to me. Anyway, Steelheart is the first book in the Reckoners trilogy. Sanderson imagines a world similar to ours. However, shortly after Calamity (a new star?) appeared in the sky, a number of human beings began to develop superpowers. These people were called Epics. But instead of using […]

The Cosmere Re-Read Strikes Again #CBRBingo – Gateway

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

One of Brandon Sanderson’s few standalones (for now), Warbreaker very much holds up on re-read. It takes place on a planet whose Investiture (sorry, Cosmere term) means that every person born has one Breath. The existence of Breaths has become a mostly spiritual issue, and one also about power. Breaths can be sold or given away, and the more Breaths one person holds, the more power they have. People with more Breath experience the world with heightened senses, and have the power to Awaken inanimate […]

Commencing the Great Cosmere Re-read.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

This was my first Brandon Sanderson book, and in retrospect I’m very glad I read it first, not just because it’s a good fantasy standalone novel (for now, he keeps threatening a sequel but it’s years out) and thus a good gateway to his writing. I’m glad I read it first because now that I’ve read so many of his books (nearly all, still haven’t managed to read the Alcatraz books), including all of his epic fantasy, it’s very obvious this was his first published […]
