Trilogy Tour #5: Mistborn #3

April 8, 2014 by omegajjj Leave a Comment

After accidentally unleashing the malevolent god Ruin, Vin and her husband Elend, now a Mistborn as well, must find a way to stop the end of the world. To do so, they’ll need to follow clues left by the Lord Ruler himself in underground storage caches scattered across the Final Empire. But the mists have crept out into the day while ashfalls and earthquakes wreck havoc on the land. With the prophecy surrounding the Hero of Ages apparently just a manipulative ruse by Ruin, is […]

Trilogy Tour #5: Mistborn #2

April 4, 2014 by omegajjj Leave a Comment

The Lord Ruler, a tyrant and supposedly living god who ruled over the Final Empire for a thousand years, is dead, thanks to Kelsier, Vin and their crew. However, their victory came at a tremendous cost, as Kelsier sacrificed himself to ignite the common people into rebellion. But the Lord Ruler’s death has not brought peace to the land, with rival warlords jockeying for control, and Vin is still haunted by the Lord Ruler’s final words. Her fiancee, Elend, son of the most powerful noble […]

Trilogy Tour #2: The Powder Mage Trilogy #1

February 14, 2014 by omegajjj Leave a Comment

My first stop on the Trilogy Tour turned out to be somewhat of a dud, and even though all of the books in The Long Price Quartet  were already published, I decided to abandon that series and start fresh.

Powder mages fall in the middle of the magical hierarchy […]
