Mistborn has always been my favorite of Brandon's works, mostly because it is such a masterclass in foreshadowing (the epigraphs in Well of Ascension, *chef's kiss*)
I randomly found the Mistborn trilogy on the Dutch equivalent of Amazon one day. I thought the white blue covers were pretty and the concept of "what if the dark lord won" sounded interesting. Best random purchase I've ever made
One of my favorite parts about mistborn (particularly era 2)(forgive my shallowness) is the potential of twinborn. Sure, they're rare, but there are so many potential combinations. And even the metals that might be considered "lesser" can have such amazing uses. For example, wanna breathe fire? Cadmium feruchemy stores breath. But you could interpret that as any gas you breathe in. Pair that with pewter Allomancy so you don't poison yourself on inhalation, a tank of methane gas (or any other flammable gas) and a box of matches, and you can breathe fire. Share a combination with me and I'll find a fun way to use it. I dare you.
@@vincentshin2294 I wonder what you would see if you stored away your entire identity, then burned gold? What would you see? Also, if you perceive the gold-shadow of yourself as better than the real you, it wouldn't be too hard to make your identity match the gold-shadow. Don't tell me that you don't have personality flaws that you would store away and forget about if you could.
@@TheCosmerenaut I’m about 30% of the book and idk, I kinda miss our guy K.. but this book feels more political than the first so let’s see! Still liking it so far!
Honestly, mistborn isn't my favorite. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I find the first Mistborn Trilogy to be a little annoying. But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ERA TWO

More than 10 years later and I still haven't read a more satisfying ending to a series.
no doubt! Heartbreaking and beautiful!
At the center of the flowers, he found two people.
I weep like a child every time.
@@TheCosmerenaut yes!!! Same!
Mistborn is the reason I got into Brandon Sanderson
Me too!
SAME!
Same
Mistborn was my first taste of the Cosmere. And I haven't looked back since....
Dive in head first.

One of us! One of us!
Mistborn is my all time favorite
AGREED
comparison to what lok should have been to atla is so on point dude
That's my main disappointment with Korra. Pro bending is the closest we get to what it should have been.
I’m so jealous of this room 😂 I wanna see details of it
If there's enough of a draw, I'll probably do a tour eventually.
Living in Puebla, Mexico. The Popocatepetl volcano is throwing boatloads of ashes. And I immediately remembered this wonderful saga.
A couple years ago there were a bunch of wildfires in my area that did the same thing. Life imitating art?

Aluminium ferring and gold misting!

@@Scp4521 I like this train of thought! Maybe it could work like a super sped up version of working on your flaws?🤔
@@vincentshin2294 exactly!
I love this discussion.
Redwall is awesome I haven't thought about those books in years
I'm going to be a guest on an rpg podcast next week that uses Wanderhome, which is very Redwallian. Should be a good time.
Just finished Book 1. Wooow I loved it!!! Starting Book 2 soon
Awesome! Let me know what you think!

Well of Ascension goes SUPER deep into political machinations. And then things just get depressing in Hero of Ages.
But like in a good way.
Mistborn era one is better than stormlight I like both of them but era 1 but I am still reading era 2 right now
Era two is excellent. Lower stakes, but the evolution of the world is impeccable.
So here's the video I'll send to my friends to finally make them read it
"Because Steve told you to!"
BECAUSE IT'S GREAT
I needed a longer video than that...
Another reason to read mistborn, you could actually see how the Star Wars Sequals should have been. Because Vin is essentially Rey but done right.
I hadn't considered that. But I'll allow it.
I Post this TH-cam Comment in Steel, for anyone who hasn’t read them yet won’t get this reference.
If the memories in copperminds are fair game, silicon computer chips could also probably be influenced...
@@TheCosmerenaut Ruin: the Cosmere’s “Edit Post” Button
I don’t like era 1 so far I’m almost done with it but I’m super excited for era 2
I like era 2 much better. Honestly, I think era 1 is overrated
@@Bobbalou right???? I just love Sazed so much but the others so bland to me it’s not so bad I’m just not into it for some reason
@@FA-bp3po I find Vin WAYYYY too whiney
@@Bobbalou and verrrrryyyyy young to be doing all that shit
Era 2 is very different from Era 1. I agree that the characters are better fleshed out, and the way society evolves is fascinating to me.
I loved Legend of Korra
It was good. It wasn't ATLA.
@@TheCosmerenaut I actually preferred the more adult nature, the villains and obviously all the world building.
Pro Bending was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
❤ the ❤ of the cosmere
It's so good!
Just started Mistborn.
Brandon isn’t human… he writes quicker than human can read…
It's nice that we always have books to look forward to, but it's kind of overwhelming that there's always something you haven't read.
Honestly, mistborn isn't my favorite. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I find the first Mistborn Trilogy to be a little annoying. But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ERA TWO
Hey, Era 2 is still Mistborn!
