Mistborn. L'ultimo impero | 
Repost for @JacqMac
We are jumping into the Cosmere in 2025. After much research, I think this is the best reading order. We are going to start with Mistborn on January 1st. We will read one part a week. I will make a discussion post every Tuesday to discuss what we read and remind everyone what comes next.

pickI loved this book! I could not put it down right from beginning to end.
A group of underdogs join together to defeat the Lord Ruler and corrupt nobels.
The magic system is so cool with their magic being rooted by different metals.
All of the characters were likable and had witty conversations.
There are so many twists and turns, heartbreak, and a little bit of romance.
This is a must-read!
Waiting for my friend. Always always have my kindle with me. This is my basic kindle had since 2011 still going strong as reading some books off my sister as i lent her this kindle for couple years now back to me reading her books before registering back to me :). Absolutely love this booksense app to read soooo much more amd a read with listy friend @Pogue
Lucas & I always do one Christmas in July gift. This is what I got for him. 😍📚
I‘ve had a strong first half of the year in reading. If I‘m able to keep up this pace, I should be back on track to finish 100 books again this year, after a dip in my reading in 2023.
My favorite reads in 2024 so far have been:
Mistborn
Ruthless Vows
Bright Young Women
The Shepherd King Duology
A Letter to the Luminous Deep
Emily Wilde‘s Map of the Otherlands
pickThis was a huge improvement from Sanderson‘s 1st book Elantris. It starts out as a pretty typical fantasy heist story, but through the intricate plotting, extensive world building, and complex but endearing characters, the book becomes an excellent first entry into a fascinating new fantasy series. The very unique magic system is physics based, which adds a lot of dynamism to the fight scenes. There were also some genuinely surprising twists!
pickThis is one of those book club books that represent the reason i joined: I wouldn‘t have picked it. Yet, it really sucked me in! Wow…just lots of fun 🙂
pickFinally got around to reading a Brandon Sanderson book and I liked it. Good Fantasy, good characters and I didn‘t have to rack my brain to understand the setting. Metals as the power, loved this theory. Vin and Saze are the best. Eland you read too much!:). First in this trilogy.
A few days late, but here are my November reads. I‘m kicking myself for waiting so long to listen to Sanderson‘s Mistborn series- so good! And, of course, a return visit to Shady Hollow is always welcome.
🎧📚🍁
This is the book that got me back into reading after a several years long hiatus so it has a special place in my heart.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💫
I‘ve been wanting to read this series for a while, and book one was not disappointing!
Very accessible & fun fantasy-heist that is just the beginning into Sanderson‘s vast Cosmere.
I‘ll definitely be continuing!
pickI quite enjoyed this book. Although I was done with it when I was almost at the end, but then I had spend almost two weeks reading it.
I liked the worldbuilding and the magic. I have the other parts on my wishlist.
TBR since 22/7/2022; 647 pages.
pickA high fantasy with a unique magic system revolving around Allomancy, the burning of metals. A crazy, epic adventure, about an impossible heist with even higher stakes, found family, likable characters, and a real underdog story. Filled with action, though it is 650 pages you will FLY through it. I was originally intimidated by the size of the books, but the prose, though written extremely well is also very simple and easy to understand. 🔽🔽
I‘ve gone ghost but I‘m back! It‘s been a weird last few months but I think I‘m back to my normal. Currently reading the Mistborn series; I‘m on book 2 and I‘m really enjoying the series. My first time really getting into fantasy!
pickA pick, for sure, but it had some dips and slow moments throughout. For me, the book coulda been shorter, or maybe the series shoulda been longer (it‘s a trilogy). Also, the main character is very annoying. Very much so.
I‘ll read the second book but I‘m thinking I‘ll need a fairly long break.

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
Ok, you brilliant readers. I want to give Sanderson a shot. What should I start with? I read Final Empire ages ago and recall nothing, so I'd need to reread it. Is that where I should start? Is there a definitive order to his books? Help!
#WondrousWednesday
1. Vin from Mistborn Era 1, her growth and journey is just wonderful.
2. Eve from JD Robb‘s In Death series - the ultimate no nonsense detective
3. Nevada Baylor from Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy series. She is not only physically strong but has to be the leader for her family through extreme circumstances.
pickThis was a lot of fun, a very interesting magic system that took me a little bit to understand and the characters were compelling. I am looking forward to the next in the series!
pickI finished listening to the audiobook of this book. I enjoyed the audiobook very much. Loved the narrator and the characters. I will be continuing this series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars. I finished
this book for the #MarvellousMarchReadathon @Andrew65
pickI really enjoyed this, as I was reading it was almost playing a film in my head so visually it was well written. The story is really and the first twist was heart wrenching. I didn't get to know as much about some of the characters as I would have liked so didn't have much feelings for them. Hopefully in the later books those characters are expanded upon a bit more.
Really need to read this, but it's fantasy (not really my thing) and it's long... wah!
I've never read any Sanderson but I've heard good things so I requested this through inter-library loan. I look forward to listening to this one.
It was 50° today! 😱 I had to take advantage of that and take a nice long bookish walk! 🌿📚
pickThis was a reread and I loved it way more this time round. The beginning to an epic series with the most unique and well crafted magic system. Such a great adventure story and I look forward to reading more of this world. 5⭐️
#bookspinbingo - bingo!
so-soThe setting of this story was very unique, with ash-covered cities, a red sun and the mist. I also thought Allomancy was a very interesting take on magic. I loved the characters, the crew and Kelsier (especially Kelsier).
The heroine Vin very loveable despite being the typical ‘starts off weak but learns she is special‘ kind of character and it was enjoyable to see her develop throughout the story.
Some parts were good but mostly it was a slog.
pickI had to read only a chapter and I knew I am going to love this book. I loved every page. Writing style was pure magic and I loved characters, world and adventure. I enjoyed immensely.
The ending wasn't what I expected it to be and there were minor anticlimactic twists but also some that I really loved.
#SeriesRead2022
pickI can't believe I waited this long to read this, but I was sort of intimidated by the possibility of a too complex world structure and politics.
It took some time to wrap my head around it, reminding me of a mix between Star Wars and Ocean's Elleven, but OMG was it worth it. I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed it immensely ❤️
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soThis was the first Sanderson book I have read. I liked the world and the magic, but I felt nothing for the characters. That might just be me.
pick#SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView
One of my local librarians suggested I read this book. I've had it on my TBR for years and I'm thankful she finally gave me the push to start this series.
The magic system in this world is so fascinating to me and Sanderson explains it well. I was unsure about the characters at first, but they all became such well developed parts of the story that I quickly became a fan.
Great start to a great series!
I'm hoping to finish this one up in the next couple of days! I forgot how wonderful the world building is! Sanderson really is a fantasy master! 🥰💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
This week is supposed to get grossly hot (almost 100°! 🥵) so I figured I better get my bookish walk in before it gets too bad! 💕📚🌿
My summer of Sanderson continues with Mistborn! I'm rereading the first book, because it's been quite awhile since I've read it and I'm sure I've forgotten many things! 🤣 I'm planning to read the whole series this time however! 🎉📚💕 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
pickIt‘s my gaming grind fest season so I thought I‘d do a reread of this in audio. I first read this in 2016 but was surprised how much I remembered once it got going. I love heist plots so this was just as good as the first time I read it. I‘m just sad the next one is six weeks out on hold for the audio.
If you are a Brandon Sanderson fan, you must watch this video he released. If you are a fan of authors doing shocking things, also check it out!!

Have you heard about the Wild kickstarter Brandon Sanderson is doing? Here‘s his video:

so-soI am going to be honest, I still have thirty minutes of the audiobook left. I am bored. “Mistborn” has an interesting magical system, but it has taken a couple months to get through this and I had to resort to an audiobook to finish it. Maybe if it wasn‘t suggested to me multiple times as an amazing experience I wouldn‘t have been so nonplussed. #bookspin for January! #bookjournal
1. Ot depends on the genre I read. For example: Thrillers need to be fast, but Fantasy can take its sweet time.
2. The Final Empire 🤩 actually all of Sanderson's books I've read this far.

Thanks for the tag @Yuki_Onna

pickMy oldest son‘s girlfriend is an avid reader. (I am so excited by this!) She loaned me this book because it is one of her most favorite. This epic fantasy took some time to develop, but once the world building is completed, it really takes off. The story and the characters draw you in and the novel becomes unputdownable. I raced to the heart pounding conclusion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
✅First goal completed for #novelnovember ❤️📚
#novelnovember #read #sundaymorningvibes
I must focus today and really dig into this book. I wanted to finish it by the end of the day today, but I am only 40% through. According to my Bookly app, it will take 10 hours of reading time to finish and I don‘t think that‘s going to happen today. The story is really moving now, and I am enjoying it. I‘ll enjoy it even more if I can immerse myself in it today. ❤️📚
Got the crockpot going with dinner, the morning chores are finished, the house is quiet (for now)…it‘s time to sit down with this book. ❤️📚 It took a bit to get into, with the intricate world building (which isn‘t normally my thing), but I‘m about 100 pages in now so I‘m starting to get it and become more invested in the characters.
I hope all of my Litsy friends have a great Saturday!
#saturdaymorningvibes
My two oldest sons‘ GFs are readers!! (I am so excited by this!) We have shared book recommendations, and my oldest son‘s GF (a 24 year old grad student studying nursing at Johns Hopkins) recently gave me her very well loved copy of one of her most favorite books to read. I‘m excited to dive in and see why it‘s one of her favorite books. ❤️📚
