As a recap, I read the first three books in the Mistborn series and I loved them. The magic system is fascinating and the characters have stayed with me.through the months. I would recommend the books to anyone who enjoys a good adventure with lovable, yet mysterious characters.

I was told I should read these because they had portals in them “similar” to my world of Vargen. I’m happy to say that, while I enjoyed the stories and the world quite a bit, I was relieved to see that it was much different than my world. *whew!* I am looking to reading the next book set in this world. Right now I’m between books but until the Feist book arrives, I might pick up one of the Ursula K. Le Guin novels that arrived a few weeks back. 🙂

I finished The Name of the Wind. What a ride! The characters and Rothfuss’ style have completely hooked me! I had to purchase The Wise Man’s Fear quickly to out what happened next. I love these books and the wonderful, careful word choice. I’m enthralled with the characters and I love the world.  In The Wise Man’s Fear however, I got stuck for a bit in the land of Fae. I don’t know what happened, I just didn’t want to continue. Once I took a break, I devoured the rest of the story. I’m anticipating reading the companion story of Auri in The Slow Regard of Silent Things and, of course, buying book 3, when it’s published.

In the mean time, I’ve picked up some other recommended books and I am now enchanted with another world, the world of the Mistborn. The magic is fascinating and the books are well written enough that, when book one ended last night at after midnight, I picked up book two and kept going for another hour. Fun characters, fascinating magic and very easy to read. Looking forward reading the rest of the Mistborn series and maybe more by Brandon Sanderson.

with gratitude

Writing is an exercise of creation, but publishing is one of vulnerability. I am profoundly grateful to my friends, family and fans for their support and feedback. I’m also grateful to the critics–you help me stay humble and strive for better work.
