Reviewed by Eileen Dierner Gegen Ende kam endlich, endlich der Sanderson-Vibe durch. Am Anfang war mir die Handlung etwas zu flach, sehr viele dekorative Kampfszenen ... hat dazu geführt, dass ich die alte Trilogie vermisst habe!
Reviewed by MerlinSince book four is coming out this month, it’s finally time to catch up, read era 2 up until this point and participate in the hype. It was so different to era 1 - which I loved - not as epic in scope as I would have liked but honestly pretty good in of itself. I thoroughly enjoyed the expansion of lore and all the new uses for allomancy and ferruchemy in an industrialized society that were explored. Even though our two heroes Wax and Wayne sometimes felt a bit like caricatures, I am looking forward to reading how their story will develop in the next installment.
Reviewed by MagdaI am amazed about how Marasi's allomantic power was so useful in the end. I also missed Sazed, Breeze, Spook and especially Clubs! So sad that everyone of them is gone. Exited for the next book, because I really want to know how it all connects. Worth reading, but not as good as the first books - or maybe just too different, so it takes time to get into.
