Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.

The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metal minds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.

Eulalia reviewed The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson (The Mistborn Saga #6)

A satisfying end to a solid second mistborn trilogy

5 stars

I thought this was the best in the series. Every character we know so far get time for their own stories among the main plot. I'm particularly fond of Steris and was pleased to see her find her place and become just as heroic as her companions using her powers of list making and over thinking. There are some new mysterious characters that don't get explored much, but I suspect we may see them again in future books. Readers of Sanderson's other books (Elantris, Tress, Warbreaker, Stormlight archive) will find these characters particularly interesting. The ending was emotional and beautiful. There were a few tears on my end. I thought about it for weeks after, I don't think it was really... fair? good though.

Review of 'The Bands of Mourning' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Still haven't got over the shock of this book. Years from now, the publication of this along with Secret History will be regarded as the start of the Cosmere in true terms. It also sows the seeds for the future series as well with characters wondering about things like red shift.
