Destiny Not Fulfilled ... Yet

(Spoilers for the Farseer Trilogy and Liveship Trader's Trilogy are below).

 

Not since Lord of the Rings has fantasy seen as perfect a bittersweet ending as the Farseer Trilogy. I often asked myself what a sequel to Lord of the Rings would have looked like? The optimist in me would say, "it would've been great, it's Tolkien", the purist in me would have said, "don't mess with perfection." While we never got a sequel to Lord of the Rings, Robin Hobb has crafted her first sequel trilogy for FitzChivalry Farseer and the rest of the Six Duchies.

A New People, Familiar Leader

(Contains spoilers for The Original Mistborn Trilogy and Wax and Wayne Books 1- 3) This Should Not Be Read Until You Read All Of Those Books

The Mistborn world is getting big. But never has a larger picture been clearly hinted at or expressed at until the release of this short novella. Nearly ten years in the making - and believe me that amount of time shows - Brandon Sanderson makes the most significant developments to this world since the conclusion of The Hero of Ages.

This is a must read for any Mistborn or Cosmere fan.
