"Loved It, Fastest I've Torn Through a Trilogy"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Really enjoyed this series. The magic system is unique and interesting and easy to understand. It's not random and anything can be delivered up at any time; but has its limitations which make it more interesting when the characters reach those limitations. The world is very interesting and different; I loved the character Vin throughout the series. Highly recommended.

"A throughly enjoyable read."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was introduced to BS as he is the ghost writter for the late Robert Jordan's ‘Wheel of Time’ series. I found that the ideas in the books to be origional and interesting. The parrallels between some aspects of modern society and the world created by BS to be very well thought out. A book hard to put down.

"Enthralling and exciting. Very hard to put down!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

From the very start, Sanderson grabs the readers attention firmly with both hands. Character development appeared a little lacking, but it didn't take much away from the enjoyment.

"Fabulous series, poor quality publishing"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Really enjoying this series. Recommended to me by another friend, glad I took the plunge. The only downside is a small irritation, the publisher appears to have done everything to cut costs, including very very little white space, tiny margins and coarse cheap paper. If you're after a bargain cheap read with a great story, go for it. If you're after a series to keep on the bookshelf to revisit try and find a better quality version.

"Poor print. Hard to read as cramped"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The words are very close to the margins of the page and involves bending the spine to read. Wasn't specified before purchasing How small the books were. Would have spent more on a bigger set if I knew that.

Difficult to get into, but once there it's hard to put down. I've found this with this author – and it's something I like!!

"Brilliant Books, Great Price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Fantastic read, great price for the boxed set and quick delivery

"An excellent introduction to Brandon Sanderson's body of work."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Firstly, these are the mass market paperback versions of the Mistborn novels, so dedicated collectors might want to splurge on the standalone paperbacks or hardcover versions.

That being said, what you get with this collection is three excellent novels at a great price. An ideal introduction to Brandon Sanderson's style of modern fantasy which values robust, internally consistent world building and fast-paced visceral action.

Highly recommended.
