The Bands of Mourning A Mistborn Novel eBook Brandon Sanderson

This is the third book in a four book series, and although it has its own plot arc, its story is a continuation of a greater plot arc - if you haven't read Allow of Law or Shadows of Self, you really need to read those in order to follow the story. Also realize that there is still one more book in the series that Brandon hasn't even started writing yet, so although there is some closure for some things at the end of this book, it is not THE end.

THIS is, however, what I was expecting when I first read the first Wax & Wayne novel, Alloy of Law. Although I enjoyed it, I asked, why would Scadrial, a world with powerful, remarkable magic, develop the exact same technologies that Earth did? Trains, steam power, electricity... Shouldn't the magic have some impact on industrialization? Finally, we see not only a continuation and further development of Wax's quest that was introduced in the first book, along with the humor and plot twists you expect from Brandon's novels, but also unique technological advances that specifically relate to the magic powers of the world - with fascinating implications for the future.

The book is a satisfying and enjoyable continuation of the adventures of Wax and Wayne, along with several secondary characters they've picked up along the way. As with all of Brandon's books, it's a character-centric story, and you really get pulled into their plights and struggles. I laughed, I cried, I worried, I celebrated, and I didn't put the book down until I had finished. And now the long wait for the finale.

The Bands of Mourning A Mistborn Novel eBook Brandon Sanderson Reviews

3.5 Stars
I just finished the book and I have so many mixed emotions. Throughout reading this book I thought it would be one of, if not, the best books he's ever written. It's great seeing Sandersons writing grow, and it really showed in this book with the characters. I liked The Alloy of Law, but some of the characters personalities (especially Wayne) felt a bit forced. I have felt this way about some of the characters in his other books as well, but they were never TOO bad. In Shadows of Self they got better, but the plot and twists was more of the highlight of that book, and not so much the side characters like Wayne, Marasi, and Steris. In this book however I found all the characters wonderful, but the plot......not so much. All the characters (especially Steris) were delightful to read and I must have laughed out loud at least 10 times while reading this. Their chemistry just worked so well together and I think this is the best Sanderson book to date character-wise.

The plot itself though just never captured me. It was ultimately the characters and their interactions with each other than made me read this book so fast and not want to put it down. The plot was just.....boring and compared to Sandersons other books, which have spoiled me with their twists and explosive endings, it fell flat. -- SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT --
It's probably my fault a little bit that it fell flat for me, because seeing some of the early reviews got me REALLY excited. People talked about the cosmere getting tied together, about alien forces invading Scadrial, and all around just made it's scope seem big and epic. Well....none of that really happened. The plot was just a basic treasure hunt with a few obvious and meh twists (Wax's sister and the Spear) and a weak ending. Shadows of Self teased us with Trell and this book just teased more and never really answered much. I was also super excited to figure out what the void eyed demons were and then they just turned out to be people with masks from far away on Scadrial. I mean come on, I'm sure everyone who's read Stormlight got all excited like me and thought they would be some sort of minion of Odium, it turned out to be SUCH a let down.

All in all i give this book 5 stars for the characters, and 3 stars for the plot. Another terrific book by Sanderson, but ultimately a little bit disappointing
“The Bands of Mourning” is the sixth book in the Mistborn series, and the final book in the later trilogy. I enjoyed this book a lot because Sanderson provides more backstory on Wax and his sister Teslin, and he attempts to provide an answer to why a god will let people suffer. Of course, we also get a satisfying conclusion to the battle between Wax and his uncle.

After the events in the second book, Wax is upset with his god Harmony, and he chooses to find his own way despite Harmony’s efforts to guide his path. It took until the end of the book, but we finally get a dialogue surrounding the “Why” questions that fuel Wax’s resentment toward his god. Theologically, Harmony is a bit underpowered compared to the true God and creator of the Universe (i.e., Yahweh, Jehovah), but I thought Sanderson did a decent job of explaining why a god would choose to allow suffering in the world even if it means terrible things happen. The answer was a bit lacking in regards to the Christian faith with its hope for eternal life and ultimate justice in the world, but perhaps Sanderson’s answer will gives readers something to think about in regards to their own beliefs about God.

I don’t want to overplay the religious aspect of the story --- this book still includes the fun banter between Wax and Wayne, lots of adventures and shootouts, and even some romance along the way. The religious aspect is minor, but I think an important part to understand why things happened the way they did in regards to Wax and his lost love Lessie.

I look forward to reading more stories in the Mistborn universe!
