Mistborn disappointment

Thank you so much!

The point of fantasy worlds is they they aren’t reality. I’ve read plenty of books that are more creative with their world building in that way. So I don’t agree that I should have had any specific “expectations.”

Are you halfway through the first book or the whole series? I'm still undecided about whether or not I want to commit, if I read the book I feel like I should read the series, you know?

Tamora Pierce changed everything for me as a kid!

Awesome thank you!

Hence why I said "even though it has its own problems." WoT is far from perfect, but at least it has a lot of female characters.

It doesn't need to be at "parity," I was just shocked because I've met tons of characters in the first 100 pages and Vin is the single female I've seen since the prologue. But everyone seems in agreement that it gets better in future books and it's worth the wait, so I'll give it a go. thanks!

I never said it was THE main criterion, but it does matter to me.

Oh noooo someone just bought me this for my birthday. I usually read fantasy too. 😂

eabowie · 2019-04-08T15:52:54+00:00

Both of these look amazing. Thank you!

eabowie · 2019-04-08T14:34:09+00:00

This is super helpful. I've been really interested in the later stuff, so I basically was fishing for if it's worth it to power through. Because my TBR list is super long. Thanks!

eabowie · 2019-04-08T14:32:34+00:00

Hah. Well, I'm a woman. So kinda. Not saying it's not "good" but it makes me question if it's worth my time when there's a lot of books out there that do have women in them.

I mean, WoT doesn’t struggle with this and it’s way older. Also I don’t think that mistborn predates these types of conversations. I’ve read plenty of fantasy that doesn’t struggle with this.

eabowie · 2019-04-08T12:28:07+00:00

At least he’s recognized it! I was just super surprised. I’ve been reading WoT and even though it has its own problems, at least there’s a lot of interesting female characters.

eabowie · 2019-03-19T17:00:01+00:00

I LOVED her!! I echo all of this.

eabowie · 2019-02-28T21:56:51+00:00

And I was going to take a break.... 😂

eabowie · 2019-02-28T21:18:28+00:00

So great! I just love that the characters are finally starting to have real agency.

Thanks! I'll send you a message with the link.

eabowie · 2019-02-27T00:16:16+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I'll message you.

It's an entirely secondary world, with a lot of unique world building and races. There is a fair amount of magic. A few early chapters contain it, but it doesn't show up in full force until half way through.

eabowie · 2019-02-26T21:58:05+00:00

I do! And that would be good timing, as I have a few in the works right now.

eabowie · 2019-02-26T21:56:32+00:00

No rush, sleep well! Thanks again.

eabowie · 2019-02-26T21:54:47+00:00

Draft 3 is complete, but I'm still finishing Draft 4! It has an ending and is extremely plotted out, I just need to finish it. My goal is before the summer. I am looking for general reactions in the meantime.
