Series: Mistborn 6
Narrated by Michael Kramer
Run Time: 14 hrs and 41 mins
Genre: fantasy
Summary:
Wax, Wayne, MeLaan, Steris, and Marasi set out on an epic adventure to find the bands of Mourning. They need to recover some spikes to restore a condra and keep the powerful Bands out of the bad guys hands.
Additional Comments:
- The prologue is pretty long but worth it. That could have been a separate short story altogether.
- I would have liked more background on Wax’s uncle and the history of how Wax’s sister fell into his hands.
- Brandon Sanderson is a master of intriguing characters. MeLaan’s hilarious in a dry way. The way she keeps pulling stuff out of her body is amazing, kind of gross, and amusing all at once.
- Wayne’s penchant for swapping out stuff is good for some light moments.
- Marasi and Steris are polar opposites. Steris’s lists were hilarious. Point 17 – framed for a crime. That poor innkeeper.
- The adventure works out well enough. There are some neat sort of steampunk turns.
- The twists at the end were okay, but there are really only so many twists, so they become predictable all the same.
Conclusion:
This probably should not be your first Brandon Sanderson story. It’s 3rd in a trilogy and 6th of the Mistborn stories. I think there’s a 7th, but I’m not positive. Sanderson’s got so many series. Not all are gold, but this one (Mistborn) is excellent. I may return to the series some day and listen start to finish.
