I fell in love with the Mistborn Saga and bawled my eyes out when the First Era finished.
Although not as emotionally invested, I was enjoying reading the Second Era. I loved the cast and the mysteries were compelling.
Then, we have this book. I did not like it, and I am not sure why.
I decided to not rate it because all the things that I like about a Sanderson story are there: cool magic powers, great action scenes, end of the world m is at stake... I missed a little more of romance ( but there were a few scenes here and there that satisfied me).
My main problem is the ending.
Last rant, I don' get why he brought Kelsier back. I have to read The Secret History to understand that. It was a shock to me. I grieved when Kelsier die, so much so I waited months before starting to read the next book. And now he is back, poof, as a ghost, poof. Like, what? Plus, he is weird. I guess his weirdness was always there, just under loads of charm and drive to save the world. Now... well I don't know how to feel about him.
Anyway, the book is fine. As a fan I have my opinion and I just wanted to vent. I'm not sure if we will have a Third Era of a Mistborn, but I will probably read other books by Sanderson. Even when frustrating, they are still good fun.

Wie fand ich diese Ära im allgemeinen? Die erste ist einfach outstanding. Nie wieder wird etwas an die Spannung herankommen die die erste hatte. Das freudige Rätselraten um die Funktionsweise der Welt. Das Mitleiden mit den Charakteren. Vin, Saze, Kelsier, Elant und und und sind einfach die OGs. Die erste Generation Pfefferkörner an die nie wieder jemand rankam, einfach weil die emotionale Bindung, die Erfahrungen einzigartig sind. Und doch haben sich Wax, Wayne, Marasi, Steris und und und einen soliden Platz erstritten. Zugegeben ich habe mit dieser Reihe am Anfang gefremdelt, gerade der zweite Band hatte mich sehr entmutigt doch Brandon Sanderson wäre nicht Brandon Sanderson wenn er es dabei bewenden lassen würde. Nachdem der dritte Band bereits ein enormer Fortschritt war und ich plötzlich Platz für alle Figuren in meinem Herzen hatte, ist dieses Buch nochmal ein enormer Sprung. Ich würde sogar so weit gehen zu sagen, dass es das stärkste Buch der Nebelgeborenen Reihe ist. Wenn wir meine angesprochene Emotionalität der ersten Ära gegenüber mal kurz ausblenden.
Die Story ist genial und fesselnd, die Charakterentwicklung auf einem neuen Level und es ist das erste Buch was den Spagat zwischen, eigenständiger Story, Verbindung zur ersten Ära und Einfluss aufs gesamte Kosmeer tatsächlich meistert. Gerade zum Ende wächst das Buch wie in der ersten Ära nochmal vollkommen über sich hinaus. Und ja evtl. hatte ich beim Epilog Pipi in den Augen stehen.
Es ist wie gesagt eine andere Ära, neue Figuren, neue Geschichten. Aber spätestens mit diesem Buch, werde ich sie genauso stark vermissen wie die erste Ära.
