Mistborn books 4-6 (Wax and Wayne series)

Although I definitely recommend Mistborn 1-3 first. Which are awesome in their own right.

Recommend? I'd think you'd be pretty damn lost if you just started there.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah. Start with mistborn 1. But know there’s some awesome stuff that is coming along the lines of what the post mentioned.

Sci-fi isn't until Era 3 at least

True. The groundwork for it is set in era2. But there is some steampunk-esq leanings in that direction at the end of Era2.

But serious to anybody reading this… mistborn is fantastic and the change to a new era is also fantastic.

Mistborn era 1: Epic Fantasy with metals based magic system.

One of the examples is people with certain abilities can “push” or “pull” on metallic objects like coins and leap, fly or fight with it.

Mistborn era 2: Epic fantasy magic in the age of firearms and steam engines with metals based magic system.

Same as above… but now somebody can fire a bullet into the ground of a small gulch and use the metal of the bullet to push off of allowing them to “leap” that gulch. Or another person can deflect bullets fired at them, etc etc.
