I decided to wait until I get close to finishing Cinder before buying it otherwise I ll put Cinder down and who knows if I ll pick it back up soon. I'm struggling with it at ch 23.
I hope you know bk 3 is coming in Jan 16 also. That was a nice surprise to know. What's the Pg count? Any new maps?
The story ends at page 376. The maps are the same as in the last book. As with the last book, there are a few newspaper prints throughout the book.
I don't have my ALLOY OF LAW handy to check, but did the maps in it have the hand-written notations that this one does? I'm still trying to figure out who they are by.
Also, spoilers up to page 100, I have questions of those who recall ALLOY better than I...
I'm FULLY enjoying this book. Moreso than Cinder Spires #1, if we are talking about fall books released by authors I love. Even at only 100 pages in, this one wins. It's just a fantastic expanding of the 300-years-later Mistborn world. We get to treat the original trilogy as this massive, intricate table setting...allowing the Wax & Wayne books to just sail along. Also, you can tell that this is the start of the new trilogy (with ALLOY being the prologue of sorts), and the fact that BANDS Of MOURNING is out so soon after this one (apparently Sanderson wrote BoM before SoS so that he could wrap his head around SoS) is super exciting. No word on when Book 4 (THE LOST METAL) will come out, but if the other two books are anywhere as awesome as these are, we're all in for a treat.
