repost for @JacqMac:

This one is a bit longer and it has six parts. But part 6 is quite short, so I‘m combining it with part 5. If it‘s anything like Book 1, it shouldn‘t be a problem to read them both together anyway. lol As always, if it‘s too much and you think we need changes, let me know. If anyone else wants to join us, feel free, I will gladly add you to the tag list. #CosmereBuddyRead

I read this book 4 years ago and just read it for a second time for the #CosmereBuddyRead. If anyone knows me, you know that I don't remember anything about it if it was longer than a few months ago, 😆! I loved it just as much as the first. The descriptive world, using metals as powers and even though it's fantasy, it feels like this world could exist. It is easy to follow for those of us that aren't as much into fantasy as others.

Elizabeth2 My memory is the same. 😂 This is one of my bonus daughter‘s favorites - fav author and fav series. She loaned me her copy and it was so well-worn. It‘s her comfort re-read. ❤️ 1d
DogMomIrene Feeling like this world could really exist - so true! I kept wondering if they were on Earth, but then I was nah, it‘s a planet similar to ours, but not actually Earth…unless I‘m wrong. Sanderson actually has an FAQ about the Earth question on his website. I guess that‘s a downside of writing a world that feels so real! 20h
Jess861 @Elizabeth2 Hopefully it sticks with her as a comfort read into adulthood! I still have the books I enjoyed when I was younger that I comfort read. 15h
Jess861 @DogMomIrene - Not yet, definitely could be a world full of ash and mist down the line though - we just won't have any powers to survive it 😆! 15h

JacqMac @Meshell1313 Yes! I can‘t wait. 2d
JacqMac @rabbitprincess I started it last night. Almost finished part 1 now. lol 2d
Jess861 I thought this would be too much since I have so little time to read - but you really can't put these books down and I simply fly through them! Such good writing!! 2d
JacqMac @Jess861 Right? I was worried it would be a lot, too. They are pretty big. But I‘m even fitting in other books. lol 2d
Jess861 @JacqMac Yes, same! I'm so excited for book 2 - so curious to see where it goes! 2d
Andrew65 Thanks for the tag! Bring on book 2. 2d
DogMomIrene I‘m only 3 chapters into Part 1, but I‘m already loving how Vin‘s perspective has been influenced by events and aftermath of the first book. That Watcher is freaking me out, though! 20h
JacqMac @DogMomIrene I have finished part one and I have questions again. lol 16h

Vin says she couldn‘t have loved Kelsier because « he was old, for one thing ».
Elend: I seem to recall you made fun of my age, as well.
Vin: That‘s different. You‘re only a few years older than me—Kelsier was ancient.
Elend: Vin, 38 is not ancient.
Vin: Close enough.

Ouch, guess I will be Ancient + 1 this year ?

#Mistborn #BrandonSanderson #SeriesLove2025

Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale-spinner and author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the prophesied hero failed to defeat the Dark Lord? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises that begins with the book in your hands. Fantasy will never be the same again.

EadieB I love the way that metals were used to give Kelsier and Vin power. The metals pushed and pulled as the characters grew stronger in order to fight the battles. Kelsier “snapped“ and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. If you like to read Fantasy, then you will like this book. I'm looking forward to reading the 7d
EadieB 2nd book in the series called The Well of Ascension. Highly recommended! 7d

Wow! That part was really good. I kind of expected something like that to happen, but I really didn‘t expect it so soon. Did you see it coming?

Jess861 I'm a bit behind from when I was sick - but still planning to finish the book this week. 1w
Meshell1313 Ok- the whole time I‘m saying to myself “he can‘t really be dead, can he?” They didn‘t really kill him right? He‘s going to come back right? 1w
Meshell1313 Also, glad we got the confirmation about whose diary it is! 1w
rabbitprincess @Meshell1313 me too! After reading that part (multiple times) I actually turned the book over and flipped a few pages to see if, I dunno, he would fall out alive and well or something 😅 1w
JacqMac @Andrew65 @jess861 Well, are you both in for a surprise. lol 1w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 Same. I‘m still not sure I believe it. 1w
Meshell1313 @rabbitprincess yes! 🤣🤣🤣 1w

I have finally gotten started on the #CosmereBuddyRead but as I read all of Part One in one evening, I should be able to catch up 😅 What can I say, I enjoy a good heist plot and I find the magic system refreshingly different. And it reads a lot faster than Dostoyevsky or my current non-fiction read 😆

Sorry I‘m a bit late everyone. My MIL died in the early hours of this morning. It wasn‘t a surprise, but it made for a crazy day. Everything is somewhat settled now and I can talk books. This book has been a great escape for me this week. This part was soo good. And somewhat unexpected. I won‘t say much up front. I know some of you are still catching up, so no spoilers. We can discuss in the comments.

Andrew65 So sorry to hear this, and sending my condolences. 2w
JacqMac This part really sucked me in. I was shocked by the fighting and the massive slaughter. I didn‘t really see that coming. How do you all feel about where we are now? What could possibly come next? 2w
JacqMac @Butterfinger @Librarybelle @Andrew65 Thanks so much. It‘s very appreciated. 2w
LeahBergen I‘m so sorry for your loss. ❤️ 2w
DogMomIrene I‘m so sorry for your loss. 2w
Meshell1313 Oh no I‘m soo sorry for your loss. Sending good thoughts your way! ❤️❤️❤️ 2w
Meshell1313 @JacqMac yes- the entire army slaughtered? Crazy! Usually one saves that for the end of the book so it was shocking as well- I think that‘s why I like him so much- I can‘t predict what will happen and I love that! 2w
Meshell1313 Also- what do we think the ascension was??? They keep alluding to it and always talk about the falling ash and no flowers growing! Was it nuclear war? 2w
JacqMac @LeahBergen @DogMomIrene @Meshell1313 Thanks. It‘s been a hard few days, but we are getting through it. 2w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I love how unpredictable he is. I have been wondering about the ascension, too. It had to be something big. I was thinking more natural disaster, but I guess we will see. 2w
Jess861 Our thoughts are with you and your family!! 2w
BookNAround Sorry for the loss of your MIL. 2w
rabbitprincess I‘m so sorry about your MIL. Take care of yourself ❤️ 2w
rabbitprincess @Meshell1313 OMG I hadn‘t thought of that! Good theory! 2w
rabbitprincess I liked getting more lore in this part, namely the explanation for how Kelsier Snapped. « The philosophers say a man can‘t command the metals unless he has seen death and rejected it. » Also pretty sure our theory about the source of the intro narration was confirmed ? 2w
JacqMac @rabbitprincess Thank you for 2w
Meshell1313 @rabbitprincess woah! I hope they go into Kelsier‘s backstory at some point! And yes about the intro narration- I feel like now that I know I should go back and reread the ones from the beginning! 2w

Exploring the Cosmere on this #WhereAreYouMonday

Laundry‘s done. Practiced multiple agility objects with dogs for some indoor exercise. Bread is baking. Black bean burgers are chilling before I bake them. And now I get to escape the second fascist initiation ceremony. Thank you Litten friends for posting positive vibes today and thank you Branden Sanderson and any other authors who help us forget the state of the world, even if just for a while.

Sace Sounds like a productive day! I have read two Sanderson books, but they were shorter and sort of stood alone. I am intimidated by his longer books. 2w
DogMomIrene @Sace I‘ve only read some of his shorter or YA books too so when @JacqMac started a #CosmereBuddyRead I decided to dive in. I like how his magic system here has consequences. That‘s an aspect of The Name of the Wind that I loved. Makes me like fantasy as much as science-fiction. 2w
Pogue I know it is not book related but how do you make your black bean burgers? 2w

DogMomIrene @Pogue I follow the recipe from the How Not To Die Cookbook. I don‘t make the savory seasoning, so I substitute with a no-salt seasoning and another tsp of lemon pepper. I think they‘re yummy and even my dogs follow me around when I make a sandwich😂 2w
Meshell1313 Yess!!! That‘s why I read fantasy! To escape reality. ❤️ 2w
Meshell1313 @DogMomIrene Name of the Wind is one of my most favorite books of alll time!!!!! I‘ll wait forever for book 3. 2w
DogMomIrene @Meshell1313 I‘ll probably wait forever too because I need so many answers! NotW was the first fantasy book I read where magic had consequences so that made the genre heavier, in a good way. More realistic. And when the world feels even more real, it‘s even better to escape to, imho of course😊 2w
MemoirsForMe Perfect way to escape with fur babies, wonderful food and great books. 🙌🏻 2w
DogMomIrene @MemoirsForMe Exactly! Wishing you lots of escape time😊 2w

I‘ve been wanting to start reading Sanderson for quite some time now so I‘m excited to be a part of #CosmereBuddyRead with @JacqMac ! I‘m excited for our discussion this week as I still have many questions but I just couldn‘t put it down and finished it today. I love the unique magic system based on different metals and I‘m obsessed with our main character Vin. I cannot wait to see how this storyline picks up in book 2! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

JamieArc I‘ve been wanting to read Sanderson too but have no idea where to begin. Would you say this is a good one to start with? 3w
behudd Yay!!! Welcome to the Cosmere! It‘s incredible ✨ 3w
Meshell1313 @JamieArc yes absolutely! Why don‘t you join our buddy read? @JacqMac hosts a discussion on each part every Tuesday. You can easily catch up as we were only up to part 2- I just couldn‘t stop reading it. On her page, she has a list of alllllll of the Sanderson books and the reading order we will tackle them in! Check it out for sure! 3w

JamieArc @Meshell1313 I am terrible about committing to reading certain books but I‘ll check out the list - thanks! 3w
DogMomIrene Ohhhh👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 My reading has been all over this week, so I‘m just about to finish Part 1. Hoping to read a good chunk tomorrow though. I‘m loving it so far, so it‘s good to read that someone else is obsessed with Vin! 3w
JacqMac I‘m so glad you love it. I am loving it, too. I have been really busy with family stuff or I know I would have finished it early, too. lol 3w
Meshell1313 @DogMomIrene buckle up! 🥰 3w
Meshell1313 @JacqMac now I have time to get book 2! I love our buddy read group! So fun! Thanks so much for hosting! 3w
