Mistborn is an epic fantasy trilogy and a heist story of political intrigue, surprises and magical martial - arts action. The saga dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophesy fails ? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge ?
Mistborn series, written by Brandon Sanderson, consists of three books:
1. The final empire
2. The well of ascension
3. The hero of ages
I guess my opinion will be very unpopular… but this series disappointed
me. Although I have to give credit to first book, maybe because it was
different from what I’ve read before, but it kept my attention, it was full of
action, the characters were diverse and interesting, the world building was
exceptional.
However after what I’ve heard in many videos on youtube, I
thought that all three books will be something wonderful, something that will
almost change my existence J But second and third book made me feel bored almost
all the time I’ve read them. It came to the point were I couldn’t read it in
the evening, because they put me to sleep after few pages. Main characters
became boring and intolerable, at some points even ridiculous. Finally at the end of
last book, I felt like I was reading the Bible, the writing style became too
dramatic, and somewhat reminded me of that story, where God created earth. Actually, as I said in my June wrap up, only listening an audio book helped me finish third book.
In my opinion all of
those books could have been much shorter, because sometimes there were unnecessary
description of characters journey or landscape, that took 1 or 2 or
at some points even 3 pages. In the end I started to skip these parts and read
only dialogs.
Of course I can’t say that I hated them….all this trilogy was
interesting enough for me to reach the end and find out what happened.
That is it for now....Happy reading :)
