Getting Back Into Mistborn

Last summer I started reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn for the first time. I really enjoyed it, but then I got sidetracked, put the book down, picked a few others up, and pretty much forgot about it.

I always felt guilty coming to Goodreads and seeing that old book still on my ‘currently reading’ list, so I decided to start reading it again this Fourth of July weekend.

I got about another 100 pages into it and now am on page 460 or so. I don’t have a whole lot more to go, and I should finish it up.

Long absences during a book can be good or bad. I did this with Garden of Rama nearly 20 years ago now, and remember that book fondly. This one I feel as though I’ve forgotten some points in the story.

I guess I’ll just have to read it again, huh?

Maron Anrow Your post amused me because I also put "Mistborn" aside after getting about ~70 pages into it. :) (I read Robin Hobb's "Assassin's Apprentice" instead, which I ended up loving.) I returned to "Mistborn" quicker than you did, so fortunately I hadn't forgotten too much. My final opinion of it was that it's a good book--one worth finishing--but not a great book.

Greg Strandberg Good points, Maron. I really liked Assassin's Apprentice too, although I thought the last volume slipped a little.
