Quite a different experience from the first trilogy of the Mistborn saga but a really good one. I was unsure about getting used to a new set of characters, but I came away loving this main cast. The setting and the use of magic in a more modern Mistborn world were mad interesting. Looking forward to where Wax goes from here.
Wow. What a fantastic ending to the trilogy. I wasn't sure what I wanted out of the final book, but I got it. I felt like my memory was put to the test quite a lot as this book had me recalling past information and turning it on its head. In the end, I got very emotional but the ending was a beautiful one. A fantastic end to what may now be my favorite book and one of my favorite series.
The Well of Ascension had a tough job following up the first book in the series, but it did the trick. It was a slow starter but ended up being a strong follow-up to the series starter. It wears a lot of hats as it tries to tie up some storylines while moving us towards the end of the series. I'm not sure where things are going at the end of the trilogy, but I can say that The Well of Ascension had me reaching for the next book immediately.
Having heard a lot about this series and Brandon, I had somewhat high expectations for what I was getting into. Crazy part is that those expectations were smashed. The characters especially our main Vin were great. It was thrilling, emotional, and just cool as fuck. Probably my favorite magic system in anything I've read/watched/played. Excited to get more of it in future entries.
I thought this book was good for the first entry in the trilogy. I found the pacing and character progression to be lacking but for now, I'll chalk it up to it being the first book in a trilogy. I'll re-evaluate my opinion once I have the full picture. Until then, I'll say this book did its job of making me interested enough to continue on.
As a whole, I really liked this book. I thought it was a great introduction to this world and the character in it. I didn't have much trouble getting invested in the story and I stayed engaged as I was reading. I did find myself feeling rushed to the end during the last few chapters, but I feel like that may have been on purpose. The best thing that I can say about Renegades is that after reading it, I'm super excited to start the next book in the trilogy.
