Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson - The ULTIMATE Guide

I haven't been so excited about a YouTube-Channel in a while! Your videos truly make my day, because you do such an excellent job in breaking down the stories without spoilers and still saying just enough to make me want to read the books asap. Also, I finished The Last Empire a few weeks ago, but for no special reason didn't pick up the next book right away ... I guess I'm doing that now haha <3

Dear Book Guy, I'm by no means a new or casual reader. I don't need to be convinced by reviews to start - or not - a new series. In fact, I avoid booktubers because somehow they always manage to make me lose interest in a book, even when they are saying nice things about it. I watch booktube videos sporadically, mostly when I'm bored or there are tier lists that include books I've already read. That being said, you are the very first booktuber I wanted to subscribe to. The Throne of Glass video was recommended to me and I don't know what compeled me to watch it because I absolutely hated that series, but now I'm really glad I did. And I shared your video with my best book friend and she also loved you and subscribed to your channel. First of all, you are a very wholesome dude, which is refreshing. I like the technical aspect of your reviews (e.g. talking about TOG as a gateway to fantasy books). I love that you are not trying to make someone dislike a series, even when you didn't enjoy it yourself. You understand the concept of target public. At the same time, it's clear in your voice how much you love some of those series and you want to share this love with your audience. You also convinced me to start reading The Dresden Files, which I haven't heard of before. Finally, I love how you take some time to talk about representation inside the stories. I hope you'll also extend this attention to the authors themselves and review books written by non-white authors and/or authors outside from the US/UK zone. Thank you for the content!

I love how you explain everything! I'm really hoping this video convinces new fantasy readers to give this series a chance! Love what you're doing with your channel!

ah it was only a matter of time until Sanderson. nicee. Honestly as for the no sex...was one of the selling points for me. I'm tired of sex in the books I read. If I have to read about "blowing on her lady flower" or something similar once more I'm going to freak

This channels gonna go BIG, mark my words. Keep up these great videos man, I love them

I just started Mistborn for the first time and so far I’m really liking it. It makes me think of the Dishonored video game series like that kinda world and atmosphere.

I started reading Mistborn but then I got Tress from the library and read it really fast so the other people waiting for it could read it. I didn't really like it most of the way through but I loved the plot twist. So that was technically my first Brandon Sanderson book. Now I can continue reading Mistborn. Thank you for this video can't wait for your next one, those are some big books! Also it was very refreshing to have cute kitty at the end of the video this time, keep up the good work!

Your enthusiasm is infectious! I read Tress and found the tone wasn't to my taste but this sounds like a better fit

Last week you convinced me to read GOT and now I’m all in on Mistborn lol, the 2nd era sounds like it will be right up my street, should be enough to keep me going for the rest of the year lol

These videos... so easy to watch. Love your shirt, too. Doing "The Dark Tower" eventually?

Hi! I found your Channel through the Robin Hobb video you did, I really like how you are enthusiastic about the books you talk about it also makes me excited ! :) I'm glad to have found your channel you are very underrated and for me it takes a certain type of Booktuber to actually enjoy their content as I can be a bit picky, but anyone who loveds Robin Hobb is a HUGE Green flag for me! :P . Great video and keep going ^_^

Thank you so much for giving us this introduction to mistborn! for the first time i understood what are the eras and relaly love the way you explain it! Again, thank you!

You explain so well and I love it ! I’ll start reading Mistborn series in February ( that’s my reading plan ), then by the end of the year Stormlight Archives. I love Brandon Sanderson’s writing style. And you’re the first yt creator who explained Mistborn series so well. Thank you 🙏

Cronk: "Stephen King did it first" Michael Moorcock: "Am I a joke to you?" (Not sure if it was done before Moorcock. Just had to poke fun at that line. Love your stuff)

LOVING this channel! Very nice to listen to your voice while playing video games.

Awesome breakdown! Maybe you can do one on Elantris and Warbreaker too. I think they get super overshadowed by Mistborn and Stormlight.

Thanks for sharing your personal history!!! Great video!

Your video made re-read Mistborn:Final Empire. I read it, thinking it was too My Fair Lady. I liked Kelsier. I didn't care for Vin or Elend. The rest of the crew was fine. But your video has made me go-read the book to see what I was missing.

One of the reasons I love Mistborn is that each book is a different type of sub genre, Final Empire is a heist and Alloy of Law is a western as examples. He has said that he wishes he made a couple other members of the crew female. If a movie comes out he plans to make that change. Also would love a Powder Mage video, I see it on your shelf there.

The first Sanderson's book I read was Mistborn: Final Empire. At first, I didn't quite like it. I am not a fan of heist stories, but when it finally got more interesting I liked it more and more. After I read that I decided to put Mistborn to rest and since I was longing for another epic fantasy with a massive world and history like GoT which I finished recently as well, I started to read The Way of Kings. I am at 1/3 of the book and I am not that hooked yet. The world is very confusing now, but it's slowly making more and more sense. I hope I get hooked, because now, that thanks to you, I know about the Cosmere universe I got even more excited!
