I'm on a mission to help you find your new favourite books.

This is an introduction to Mistborn, a pioneer of modern fantasy and a series that has LITERALLY changed my life! This is a DEEP dive into all seven Mistborn novels and the one novella. We'll look at plot twists, big mysteries, awesome characters like Elend and Wayne...

...and yes, the MAGIC system!

I'll also show you where Mistborn fits in regards to the rest of the greater Cosmere. And discuss the big goals for where this series is heading in the future.
