Kind of fun books. Almost done with the lost metal. Sanderson is prolific. I don't love his prose, and his characterization is just ok, but he does create interesting plots, and sometimes the magic is interesting if you can get past the tedium. The magic "system" Tends to be a bit less tedious in the mistborn series. Know that this is the second book. First is the final empire.
If you're not familiar with Sanderson, he's extremely prolific. He's just published a new book in the series and set to release at least three books next year set in a broader universe.for 13 already published ones.
Probably want to pick up "The Final Empire" first.
I enjoyed the theme of this book and the characters that returned from Mist born. I also enjoyed some of the newer characters and felt they added to the story.
I tended to cringe at two repeated habits: re-explaining how the metals worked when context was sufficient, and his endless use of the word "dampened" in the meaning of "damped" -- unless it was an intentional pun since it is the Mistborn series.
That said... I'm on the fourth book now so I'm enjoying it all well enough to continue reading.

When you said endless use of the word... I thought you were going to say sinuous. I love his books but cannot stand how often he says sinew or sinuous or some form of the word.

Yeah, I'm just finishing up the lost metal. What bugs me are little ticks like having the characters reflect in their internal dialogue that something is "kinda weird." you can't argue with his success though.

He's successful, an objectively good author, and prolific. That's rare.
I've read the series and liked it, can anyone recommend something similar that they liked more?
I am halfway through the second book in the Red Rising series and it's absolutely fantastic. I just finished the first Mistborn trilogy last week and as much as I loved it, I almost might like Red Rising more.... maybe?

$3 for this book is a great deal.
