Mistborn's Extensive Era 2 Still Doesn't Compare To How Good The Original Trilogy Was

The second era of Mistborn may be an exciting and unique entry to the fantasy genre, but it falls slightly short of the original trilogy. Aside from the standalone Elantris, Mistborn is author Brandon Sanderson's first extensive fantasy story and the perfect entry point to the Cosmere, his fantasy universe that connects his various series and novels. Nearly two decades after Mistborn: The Final Empire was published, Sanderson's popularity continues to grow each year, with him releasing four books in 2023 via his record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. In 2024, fans eagerly await his fifth installment of The Stormlight Archive.
