I am about to start reading Tress of the Emerald Sea and it will be my first Brandon Sanderson book. My friends and my husband are all obsessed with his writing, so there is so much pressure for them to be amazing. I’m glad to hear Mistborn was a 5 star. I’m very particular about books I give 5 stars to… so it’s been a while since I gave one out. I did finish Fourth Wing and that was almost a 5 star read for me.
Mistborn is honestly 'chef's kiss'. So glad you liked it! You're in for a wild ride for the rest of the trilogy because the second you start to think you understand everything, all your beliefs will be ripped from you and you'll be left utterly shocked, or at least that's how it was for me! Even the second book, I really hit a lull (like usually happens with second books in trilogies), then BAM! He just hits you with earth shattering knowledge and drama and a rollercoaster of emotions. The end of the last book is still one of the most amazing endings to a book I've ever seen, and I read this series a decade ago. It's one of those ending where you stop and think 'what even is life? Why does anything even matter?'. Sanderson just ripped up my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and throws it away without a care in the world (actually that's wrong, he goes to write another book) and I'm left to stare aimlessly into the void wondering if I'll ever be the same. That's very dramatic, but that's how I felt when finishing this series. In saying all that... the Mistborn trilogy is the best trilogy that Sanderson has done, in my opinion. Even the second Mistborn trilogy (Wax and Wayne) is not has impactful... and I say that whilst seriously enjoying every single book he has ever written. This is coming totally from vibes. The Mistborn Trilogy I think is the best books he's ever written, because it made such an impact on me (as above), but I still absolutely love all his other books. I think it's helpful to keep in mind that every book has its own place and own story, and is going to be very different from Mistborn, and you'll be fine. The Stormlight Archive series I think will be a second best, but I'm not even going to attempt to finish it until the rest of the series is out (made the mistake of starting it and couldn't continue after book 2). What I'm trying to say is.. a lot of Sanderson's works are 5 stars, but Mistborn is probably the only 6 star that I've read, one of only two book series that have ever been granted 6 stars from me. I look forward to seeing you finish the trilogy, simply to see your reaction to the end of Hero of Ages. Whatever you're guessing it could be, it's not even close. You will not even be able to guess it until the very last second, something that's very difficult to achieve in books these days. FYI not all of Sanderson's books are part of his Cosmere... once you go down the rabbithole of Sanderson, it sucks you in and there's so much to learn!
omg HAHAHHAHA wait I love this enthusiasm. I have heard so many good things about the ending of the trilogy and this makes me even more excited! I’m trying to get through more of my physical TBR and have banned myself from buying more books in March 😂 but I’ll for sure be picking up the series again in April!!
First, this is a great video idea, I might make one like this soon. I'm reading the Mistborn trilogy right now, I'm about 70% of the way through The Well of Ascension and totally obsessed. I was the same, I was so intimidated to pick up the first book, but it was such a great read! I think my TBR is going to get totally trumped by Sanderson books now lol. 😅 (I also kept thinking of Kell from a Darker Shade of Magic so it's not just you Lol! And Vin did remind me of Lila in a lot of ways.)
It was like if ADSOM and Six of Crows had a baby and transported it into a new world lol! I've heard such good things about the 3rd book, I'll need to continue on with the series once I get through more of my current physical TBR! I've put myself on a book buying ban for the rest of the month :P
So happy to hear that you ended up loving Mistborn! I read it about ten years ago and parts of it still live rent free in my head. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts about books two and three, whenever you get to them. The Hero of Ages is one of my absolute favorite conclusions to a fantasy trilogy, ever.
Hmmm my most recent 5* (more of a 4.5 tbh) was Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff (2nd in the Empire of the Vampire series), but for a real 5* read then it would have to be The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson which I reread a couple of weeks ago! Mistborn I also loved when I read it, but I personally think that the Way of Kings is even better so really recommend that one! Definitely agree about having to wait a bit before getting into high/epic fantasy novels- I feel like each time I read a new one I have to mentally prepare myself for initial confusion and push onwards before finally getting into it- by far the longest I've taken to get into a book without DNF-ing was with The Malazan Book of the Fallen (10 book epic fantasy series that averages at around 1000 pages per book and has some of the longest character lists I've seen), but that series is now one of my all-time favourites! I'd recommend trying The Way of Kings next after you finish Mistborn, then if you enjoy the complexity and length then look into The Malazan book of the Fallen :))) (though you might want to take a break between those- the Bear and the Nightingale is a slightly more relaxed, fairytale-ish series that I think you'd really love :))
Love this video! I also dislike spicy scenes in books so the only Ali hazelwood book I’ve read is check and mate, but I loved it a lot! All the funny good parts without everything else bc it’s YA
I was looking forward to this video soooooo much ! I started Mistborn yesterday, and I feel the same way than u, everybody hyped it up for me, saying this was going to change my life. Going through the first 150 pages was so hard, and I wanted to stop. But seeing you enjoy it that much, I'm going to give it a try and keep reading ! My next read is going to be Hellbent I think, or maybe a palette cleanser if needed after mistborn haha. Thanks for your videos
It’s a slow build up but I ended up loving mistborn in the end! I’m not like in need to start the next book immediately, but I know I’ll for sure continue the series after I’ve tackled some more of my current physical TBR! I would for sure recommend a palette cleanser between mistborn and hellbent 😂
Hey, hope you're having an amazing day! first thing I wanna say is that I absolutley loved this video the 2nd thing I'd like to say is that my most recent 5 star read was "Deadman Wonderland Vol13" but aside from a last in a series my 2nd most recent 5 star read was "Shiver by Junji Ito" and then Manga aside cause I just realised those are both manga my most recent non-manga 5 star read was "Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan"
No surprise here, of course The Final Empire is a 5 stars! What did you think of the Sanderson Avalanche aka "Sanderlanche" (meaning his epic endings)? Personally, I gasped so many times. The last 100 pages was a ride, reveals after reveals!
Personally I feel like this was better than her other books, I've read "Love Hypothesis" and her 2 Novellas but to be fair I overall very rarely find myself enjoying romance so who knows if my POV is trustworthy on this topic😂
i dont read smutty books either, it started cuz i wanted to be a better christian and honor my chastity with God. but i realized its honestly not necessary, and, when i come across it, it kinda throws me off of the book too.
what’s the latest 5⭐️ book you’ve read?
My latest was This Could be us by Kennedy Ryan 💫💫💫
@@sherriewhite5348 ouuu that’s a recent release, you read that quick!
Out on a Limb ❤
The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn!
mine was bride HAHAHHA
i rated love theoretically 4 stars bc i thought it was a lil too smutty but then i read bride 😳
I love how creative you are getting with all your videos!! 🤍🤍🤍
aww thank you!! This was not a creative idea at all 😂 it’s something I’ve seen a lot booktubers do so i was inspired!
I am about to start reading Tress of the Emerald Sea and it will be my first Brandon Sanderson book. My friends and my husband are all obsessed with his writing, so there is so much pressure for them to be amazing.

Hope you enjoy tress!! It’s still sitting on my shelf 😂 I ALMOST picked it up today

Yay. Was looking forward to this one. This was a great video as usual. Definitely would like more videos like this. 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for reviews.
glad you liked it!
I will sometimes check Book Series Recap and it often has spoiler summaries you can check if you’ve forgotten details.
Oh interesting!!
@@jaimefok Handy to have sometimes.
my latest 5 ⭐book read : WARBREAKER ~ Brandon Sanderson
Ohhhh that sounds good!

Love this video! I also dislike spicy scenes in books so the only Ali hazelwood book I’ve read is check and mate, but I loved it a lot! All the funny good parts without everything else bc it’s YA
oh that’s a good point! Maybe i should pick that one up some day
If these were my books, I'd still be reading... 😆
😂😂 mistborn is super long!
@@jaimefok it is and I wouldn't have given it 5 stars either 🤣
Love the video. I don’t currently have a 5 ⭐️ read yet. Would love to see more videos of you.
thank you!! Hope you find one soon :)
I like Vampire and Werewolf fantasy stories 😍 but sometimes they are just so unrealistic 😅 Happy Weekend ❤
I loved how this one was so aware of itself 😂
I have had an eye on the Mistborn trilogy for years! ❤
It’s been a long time coming but I’m glad I’ve finally entered the Brandon Sanderson universe!

I'm so glad you liked Mistborn... I gave it 4.5⭐
It was so good!!
THAT anatomy part really really changed a part of my brain, and idk how to feel about it
😂😂😂

This sounds really fun!
You definitley need to read Shiver for the experience and Daughter of the Deep cause I actually think you'd enjoy that one@@jaimefok
No surprise here, of course The Final Empire is a 5 stars! What did you think of the Sanderson Avalanche aka "Sanderlanche" (meaning his epic endings)? Personally, I gasped so many times. The last 100 pages was a ride, reveals after reveals!
I love when the last 100 pages of books are just absolute chaos 😂 him and SJM both do this and I love it haha
I'm reading Ninth House right now and so far really like it! My latest five ⭐ read was Assassin's Blade 🙂
The secret society vibes are so fun!!!
I can’t wait for you to read other books by Brando Sando 😭
i definitely have lots on my current physical TBR to tackle first but i'm excited to continue with the world!
oh my goooshhh im soooo excited!!!! i love your videos.
🫶🏻🫶🏻
Most reason 5⭐️ was Daisy Haites The Great Undoing ❤
I need to read the first Daisy haites at some point!
Yaaas a perfect video to have when the time sprang forward here in California!
❤️❤️❤️
yes you gotta wait for sanderlanche because then you will not be able to stop
i have only recently learned this term 😂
@@jaimefok welcome to the community
my most recent five star read is ´obsidio´, the third book from the illuminae files. simply genious!
that sounds really cool!
Pleaseeeeee read keeper of the lost cities!!!
Will look it up!!
Loved the video!!
thank you!!
I found a typo in one of my ACOTAR books. It was breath instead of breadth
haha it’s so shocking when it happens!
Your vids motivates me to start a booktube channel but I don't know how to start ! Do you pls have any tips ?
My advice is to just start! You’ll learn along the way ❤️
my prediction is the nighthouse will be your 5 star read
hehe
i should of ever uderestimated the king @@jaimefok
@@PoppyMorreale 😂😂
Honestly at first that was my guess too, but then I remembered it wasn't a Duology and very swiftly changed my guess🤣🤣
I've not yet read Bride but I have it in physical copy and I'm very hesitant to read it because I'm scared because it's a new genre for the author
honestly I was really impressed at most of it! loved the story and found it really funny. the smut just wasn’t my fav haha
Personally I feel like this was better than her other books, I've read "Love Hypothesis" and her 2 Novellas but to be fair I overall very rarely find myself enjoying romance so who knows if my POV is trustworthy on this topic😂
i dont read smutty books either, it started cuz i wanted to be a better christian and honor my chastity with God. but i realized its honestly not necessary, and, when i come across it, it kinda throws me off of the book too.
I find that reading about the details does nothing for me 😂 it ruins the magic of a story!
