The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler -- the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years -- has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young protégé, Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves.

As Kelsier's protégé and slayer of the Lord Ruler she is now venerated by a budding new religion, a distinction that makes her intensely uncomfortable. Even more worrying, the mists have begun behaving strangely since the Lord Ruler died, and seem to harbor a strange vaporous entity that haunts her.

Stopping assassins may keep Vin's Mistborn skills sharp, but it's the least of her problems. Luthadel, the largest city …

Den ersten Teil habe ich brav durchgelesen, aber auch bei diesem war ich zwischendurch enttäuscht und hätte beinahe abgebrochen. Die Story hat mich dann aber immer genügend gefesselt. Was mich am meisten stört, sowohl beim ersten Band als auch beim zweiten, ist die einseitige Sprache, insbesondere was die Beschreibung der Charaktere und ihrer "Pseudo-Emotionen" angeht. Ständig ziehen die Protagonisten die "Augenbrauen hoch", oder noch häufiger, "ziehen die Stirn kraus". Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was ich von diesem "Stirn krausziehen" halten soll, insbesondere wenn dies alle 2 Seiten vorkommt. Ich habe irgendwann die emotionale Bindung an die Protagonisten einfach verloren. Daher habe ich diesen zweiten Band ungefähr nach einem Drittel beendet. Schade, die Story hat potential, wenn das ganze flüssiger, emotionaler und lebendiger erzählt werden würde.

4 stars

I was determined to give this 3 stars, because in the first parts of the book, I would say the first quarter, this book draaaaaags. An entirely too slow start, with characters you at that point don't care about. It doesn't pick up until Zane and Tindwyl arrive on the scene.

But the further you got into the book, the more the pace picked up, and by the end it was on the edge of your seat exciting. Brandon Sanderson is building an incredible world, with twists and turns the reader doesn't really expect. At least I didn't expect any of them! Can't wait to read The Hero of Ages now. From all I have heard, it brings a very satisfying conclusion to the series.
