About this listen
From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.
Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.
When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble House, he little imagined that the crime-fighting skills acquired during 20 years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there, too, just being a talented Twinborn - one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial - would not suffice.
This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick, Wayne, and brilliant, beautiful young Marasi, now officially part of the constabulary, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife can stop Scadrial’s progress in its tracks.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

I enjoy these books a lot. I feel they written in a way where an observant listener could make connections, yet still would not find themselves disappointed with the conclusion.
The character relationships and actions are a big draw for me and look forward to the 6th book.

Keep on writing Brandon!!!
I love Brandon Sanderson's novels. He cannot write them fast enough. And I love Michael Kramer's narration. This combination of writer and narration is fantastic. If I had to say anything negative it is adjusting to a new series when I have fallen in love with the previous series - especially the characters. Keep writing Brandon, your imagination is fantastic!!!

Great follow up to 1st book
The dynamic change from era 1 to this era 2 is well done. Expands on world greatly. This novel does and excellent job at tackling the emotional aspects of the characters, especially the main.

Better than the last!
I’m loving Mistborn era 2 (it’s a very fun read), it keeps getting better and better. And let me mention Michael Kramer’s beautiful narration, it is and always will be - perfect for Sanderson books
