THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

****

What if the Dark Lord won?

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields.

But now a troublemaker has arrived and there is rumour of revolt. A revolt that depends on a criminal no-one can trust and a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all metals.

Enjoyable read

This was my first Brandon Sanderson book, of which I enjoyed and look forward to listening to another one soon. A bit of a slow start, but once into it, it traveled at a good pace, and was keen to see what will happen to Vin next.
I loved the sound of the narrator's voice (almost soothing),Michael Kramer, and will hunt out more of his narrating.

Epic

This is gold. Or should I say Atium. Enjoyed the audio book, the narrator is one of the best.

beautiful, sweeping fantasy

I can see why people love Sanderson so much, he is a wonderful story crafter. I wish Vin was not quite so annoying.

Loved it!

Story is fantastic! easy to follow but with enough depth to not get bored. Narrator's voice was irritating to start off with but I quickly got used to it! very expressive and played the different roles clearly.

Excellent read!

A slow burn at first turned into a story I couldn't put down. Great character building and good twists.

This is fantasy at its best

This book is fantastic! Brandon Sanderson is a master of his art. The characters are detailed and relatable, the world is vivid and vast. This is a very enjoyable listen. Only made more enjoyable by Micheal Kramer’s deep and engaging voice.

Absolutely Breathtaking.

This was admittedly my first fantasy book and i was a bit hesitant as they seem to go heavy on the fantasy and light on the world and characters but this book is the exact opposite, it manages to uphold the fine balance between good world building while also maintaining and awesome air right the way through. If it were paper i would not be able to put it down. I was intrigued from the get go, the absolute monolith of a series that i saw coming, i hoped as soon as i bought it that it was good, and oh boy was i right, i have now bought the entire series and absolutely love it. It is a story full of twists and turns, some more predictable and some absolute brain oglers.

.

I can tell I am going to look back fondly on this book, and my time reading it, for years to come. A lovely story. I am stunned at how the author was able to endear me to the characters so quickly.
