Mistborn: Secret History

Product Information

When he is cognizant, Leras is often sarcastic and sardonic. He gets easily excited over things he adores, like the Lord Ruler, and will often pace when thinking, full of energy. He likes people who accomplish the impossible, especially when it involves their own survival. [5] He was once able to be cunning, and even deceitful, when needed, but seems to have lost this capacity over time. [3] That tone seemed a direct contrast to the man beside him: a vagabond, a mountain man wearing the Lord Ruler’s face. This is what you really are, Kelsier thought. But that didn’t help. It was only further proof that the Eleventh Metal wasn’t what Kelsier had once hoped. The metal was no magical solution for ending the Lord Ruler. He would have to rely instead upon his other plan.

Touching it was like remembering a fond experience. Familiar scents from his youth. His mother’s voice. The warmth of lying on a hillside with Mare, looking up at the falling ash. Transcendent . . . all the familiar ideas and plots from epic fantasy have been turned inside out, and what happens at the end is utterly astounding in its audacity.

Please help The Coppermind by expanding it. The CosmereA good story and a good ending to the series . . . if (this) is any indication, “Wheel of Time” will have an excellent conclusion as well. Sacramento Book Review You're not only the first to punch me, you’re also the first to try to recruit me. You are a distinctively strange man.

Mistborn: Secret History - Macmillan

Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (the Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning. Mistborn utilizes a well thought out system of magic. It also has a great cast of believable characters, a plausible world, an intriguing political system, and despite being the first book of The Final Empire, a very satisfying ending. In short, it’s one of those great kettle books, in which the author has thrown not merely a bone of an idea and a few potatoes of originality, but half a cow and everything in the garden. And then added seasonings. Highly recommended to anyone hungry for a good read.” Robin Hobb He’s unchanging,” God said, defensive. “He’s a brilliant specimen. So unique. I don’t agree with what he does, but one can empathize with the lamb while admiring the lion, can one not?” Ambition · Autonomy · Cultivation · Devotion · Dominion · Endowment · Harmony · Honor · Invention · Mercy · Odium · Preservation · Ruin · Valor · Virtuosity · Whimsy · Survival Shard

He screamed, desperately trying to hold himself together. His will meant nothing. He was rent, ripped, and hurled into a place of endless shifting mists. You are trapped with him,” Fuzz said. He seemed shallow, wan, compared to the powerful light that Kelsier stood amid. “I warned you. This is a prison.” Kelsier settled down, breathing in and out. “I’m alive.” “According to a very loose definition of the word.” Kelsier smiled. “It’ll do.” Well, responses to both have been incredible. So, off and on over the years I worked on scenes for this when I had a spare moment. Though I love how it turned out, I want to warn you. Structurally, this isn’t like most pieces I’ve written. It relies on knowledge of the original Mistborn Trilogy, and though it tells its own cohesive narrative, the elements of that narrative are scattered across three years’ time in-world. The Bands of Mourning consists of thirty-one chapters, one prologue, and one epilogue, reaching a total 127,456 word count. There are eleven different unique point-of-view characters in a total of 83 POVs.

The Internet Speculative Fiction Database considers it to be novel length due to having nearly 50,000 words. However, it is marketed specifically as a novella per the cover. See entry at ISFDB ( archive).) Secret Mistborn Novella – Jan 30th!". Fantasy-faction.com. 25 January 2016 . Retrieved 21 February 2016. Like all of my series, I wrote book one of Mistborn to stand on its own, yet lead into potential sequels. Unlike all previous series (which I wrote when I was trying to break into publishing) I actually got to write this sequel. It was the first time I tried to write a second novel, and it presented a number of challenges. In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books).As he got his bearings, he recognized what was happening in the living world. Thousands of lights moved, flowing away. The crowd was running from the square. A powerful light, with a tall silhouette, strode in another direction. The Lord Ruler. Nothing changed. He still stood in that Luthadel square, facing down the Lord Ruler. A hushed audience, both skaa and noble, watched at the perimeter. A squeaking wheel turned lazily in the wind, hanging from the side of the overturned prison wagon nearby. An Inquisitor’s head had been nailed to the wood of the wagon’s bottom, held in place by its own spikes. Just brilliant. No full review from me for this amazing novella, everything about this book can be considered as spoilers for the Mistborn saga. There's always another secret. That's all.
