finally starting mistborn trilogy

i’ve actually been debating whether to start this now, since i told myself before that i’d only begin once i’d owned all the books in the cosmere universe. but i really want to be part of it already, so i’m going to dive in now 🙌🏻

what should i expect from this book? i’ve only read tress of the emerald sea, and i’ve heard brandon’s writing style feels different here.

help me pick my next reads

okay y’all, i’m in full crisis mode 🤣 i literally cannot decide what to read next. i’ve only got two weeks left before the semester starts, and i need these last days of vacation to be PEAK

the thing is, i’m a medium‑paced reader, so there’s no way i can squeeze all of these into two weeks. i actually have to pick one (tragic, i know 🙏🏻)

and of course, every single one of these series has amazing reviews, which just makes it worse. now i’m staring at my tbr like 😔 help me out before i end up not reading any of them at all LMAO

the sword of kaigen just finished me

this one broke the scales for me—definitely a six‑star read. my heart is still hurting as i write this. it aches for mamoru.

halfway through the story i was crying my insides out. he deserves so much. they all deserve so much. but mamoru… he’s just a child. i don’t think i’ll ever move on from him. no one even knows he mastered the whispering blade. no one will ever know. he died wanting to tell his parents that he did it. he died without seeing his parents reconcile. he died not seeing his brothers grow up. he didn’t even got to know his mother’s time during her daybreak academy. IT’S SO UNFAIR.

i don’t think i’ll ever move on from this book. it made me cry until my eyes were swollen. until my eyes can’t bring any more tears. i was only in the middle of the story, how could you expect me to go on like nothing happened!?

this book will always stay with me—etched into my heart—because of how deeply it hurt me.

should i read mistborn trilogy now?

hi! i stumbled onto brandon sanderson when i found a secondhand copy of tress of the emerald sea—honestly bought it just for the cover 🤣 but after finishing it, i fell in love with everything about the story.

that led me down the sanderson rabbit hole: turns out he’s written a lot, and tress is part of the cosmere (though it works as a standalone). now i recently bought the mistborn trilogy, but here’s my dilemma—do i wait until i can collect more cosmere books for the full experience, or dive into mistborn right away so i don’t feel left out? 😭

p.s. i prefer physical books, and i’ve taken a liking to brandon sanderson anyways so i really want to collect his books 🫶🏻

i’ve been following this cardio routine, but i’m really struggling to finish the 1‑minute mark of this specific exercise which is the knee tap (right and left). my knees give out way before the mark—i can only last around 25 seconds because the leg carrying my weight starts to hurt so badly. like, ang sakit talaga and i don’t even know why 😭. after 25 seconds or less, it feels like my knees are about to give in, and since it’s alternating, both of them end up hurting. is this common? or do i have a problem with my knees? 😭😭
