I remember beginning this series a while ago one afternoon. I had no idea how much I would eventually love Sanderson's work, and I'm really glad this was my introduction to him.

I also started with Mistborn and it was amazing 🤣 On a different note, the quality of the videos and skills on editing needs more appreciation. Amazing just does not cut it to describe it. 👏👏👏

I love videos like this. Another person who stumbled into this amazing universe almost exactly the same way I did and fell in love. I’ve watched so many videos about these books and yet I can’t get enough. This was dope.

I'm planning on starting with Warbreaker.

I read Mistborn the week lockdown started in 2020. It distracted me from everything. For that, I'll always be thankful for Sanderson. After I read book one, I went into a WoT binge and spent six months reading all of them. Mistborn kinda started my love for fantasy.

Came here after finishing the third book today. These were my first Sanderson books I've ever read and really the first books I've read in probably about 5 years. I went through all three in about a month. Once I started I couldn't stop and kept thinking about them. One of my favorite stories I've ever read or heard. The final 200 pages of every book grabbed me so hard. I'm now the owner of the Wax and Wayne trilogy and all of the Stormlight archive books as well. I can't wait to dive into the entire Cosmere now thanks to these books.

Perfect timing! I just finished the first book!

Mistborn Secret History adds so much more depth to the story!!

Absolutely agreed. Mistborn is great, and so is the sequel, the Wax and Wayne series. That actually brought me on a video idea for you. With the seventh Mistborn book coming (or fourth in the Wax and Wayne series) you'd might like to make a video on 'where were we?' before that book comes out. Now I often read the books again before a new book in a series comes out, but a 'catch-up' video would be great! This could also work for Kingkiller #3, Stromlight Archive #5, Song of Ice and Fire #6 and so on.

Great video! I would love more. I think this stuff is where your channel shines. I read Sanderson first in WoT, then started Stormlight after the first came out, and didn't read anything else by him until I finally read Mistborn a few years ago. Though the magic system has grown on me(especially as you learn more about all abilities and hemalurgy) and I love both Mistborn trilogies, I admit reading through the Final Empire at first was underwhelming for me. It wasn't his writing obviously, he's become one of my favorite authors, but it was more that I didn't like the magic system at first. Literally just because I couldn't stop comparing it to Magneto. I was a teen when those movies started coming out and loved them. I also never liked Kelsier. BUT, I was definitely finally loving the book by the Sanderlanche ending and haven't looked back. Sazed is my fav! I think I'm one of the odd ones that prefer the second trilogy though.

Very interesting. I haven't read the second Mistborn trilogy yet, but you have sparked my interest, so I will do that next. If you like mystery mixed with magic, I suggest The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, and also the Codex Alera series. The latter is a six book fantasy series that is so good I found myself not wanting to put a book away to eat or sleep. It is a series that I was surprised to see Butcher write after the Dresden Files because it is the type of fantasy more prevalent in Brandon Sanderson's books.

Yeah i could not sleep, eat nor do anything. I always needed that little extra chapter.

I just finished Mistborn and am almost done with The Well of Ascension. I remember finishing the prologue in Mistborn and getting chills because of Kelsiers acts. It set the mood for the rest of the book and I was encapsulated by the world. The prologue of the second book made me think I wasn’t going to enjoy politicking. But man was I so wrong. It’s not over detailed and every description has a purpose to it. I cant wait to finish this series and get into the storm light archive

I enjoyed the first trilogy just fine. Read them after I finished up Wheel of Time. Now I’m in the middle of the Wax and Wayne series and I immediately dig it more than the og trilogy, probably due to an affinity for westerns.

I was already a Brandon Sanderson fan because of his KZread channel, and now I am even bigger fan after reading the Mistborn trilogy. The final book in the trilogy is a masterpiece and it has one of the greatest endings of all time. It’s emotionally impacting, beautiful, tragic, but very optimistic. It subverts expectations in a brilliant way! And it ties up the entire trilogy in an epic way!

The ending is so good! Totally agree it’s emotional and beautiful and not at all cheesy or overdone. It does all of the characters justice as well. Loved Mistborn. I can’t even say why but I do like Storm-light better but I think I found the characters in Mistborn more endearing.

Whelp, i bought the whole tirlogy at Barnes and Noble this morning and even got the audiobooks with my free credits that got built up. I'm going in

I've never been much of a reader despite always wanting to. A chapter into book 1. I hope I make it to the end

I totally agree Mistborn needs a video game and my first thought was "Dishonored", which is one of my favorite games (even if I am terrible at stealth games usually). Thise games have the same feel to it as Mistborn (Dunwall is how I envision Luthadel in my head, haha), so it might be fun to see what Arkane could do with the Allomancy mechanics.

Because it’s one of the best magic systems ever. And the writing is just plain great.

I really wanted to love this book because i have heard so much about Brandon Sanderson. I picked up the Final Empire and it just read like teenage fiction. The magic system for me was so boring, i just could not get excited about people injesting metals and running around in the mist. I feel like it was a script for a computer game rather than an actual epic fantasy book. Only got through a few chapters and i struggled to stay interested. I will try pick it up again and finish it so i can have a better view of his works but im a currently really struggling.
