 THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

A COMPANION STORY TO THE ORIGINAL MISTBORN TRILOGY

****

There's always another secret.

Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.

As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.

Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.

In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books).

Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story's existence is, in a way, a spoiler...

Rather engaging and highly addictive.

Fantastic read after Mistborn and Wax & Wayne trilogies. Makes you see certain events in a new light. Funny, well written, well read by Kramer. It's a rather short book, but it's well worth a credit!

Fantastic read after Mistborn/Wax & Wayne books!

Kelsier, Kelsier, Kelsier. Who doesn’t love some more Kelsier?

It was not only great in filling in all of the little holes left in the first Mistborn trilogy, but also enhanced the original series.

The added depth to the Lord Ruler is nice too.

What’s most strange is the inclusion of Hoid in this story - Is he really a malevolent agent within Scadrial at this time or is that just Kelsier’s unfounded assumption?

Anywho… Hopefully there will be a sequel to this book, given how much stuff Kelsier has been up not only in Scadrial (as shown by Bands of Mourning and Lost Metal), but also on Roshar and probably other planets we’re familiar with.

Great Enhancer & Addition to Mistborn
