The Bands of Mourning

A Mistborn Novel

By: Brandon Sanderson

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

Length: 15 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's Summary

The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series, his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action and his ability to create vivid characters made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time sequence. 

But with Mistborn, Sanderson has shown his bountiful talents in his own fiction. Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story, building on the incredible success of The Alloy of Law. The new Mistborn books move the series into a richly imagined 19th-century analogue world with elements of the Wild West mixed with magic and science. It's a wonderful concoction from a master storyteller. 

Sanderson has the knack of giving epic fantasy listeners exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre, and this novel will take him to the next level.

Great book superbly narated. Very satisfied.

I've listened to the whole series so far, don' t know where Mr. Sanderson gets it all. Very entertaining though.

Incredible

This book was action packed and full of adventure and twists and turns furthermore the characters here really grew on me I started to love them .to me this is my favorite from the Wax and Wayne series I loved it so much ❤️

So captivating and immersive

The character development, the world mechanics... Everything makes sense and is so detailed.

I'm so excited about The Lost Metal!

Completely satisfying

What a joy to pick up another of Mr Sanderson's books and be completely satisfied!

I love the characters in this story. Steris really comes into her own in this book, while Wayne continues to focus on his hats, and Wax still breaks things in spectacular fashion. I've always found these stories entertaining - there is a very gentle, but consistent thread of humour through it all, and I find myself wearing a little smile as I listen.

It's a satisfying ending to this trilogy, but the ground work has been set for yet more adventure. A word from Brandon Sanderson as an appendix confirms this, and he intends to get to work on it once he's finished the final instalment of the Stormlight series. Looking forward to it!

For Stormlight fans - watch out for Hoid who makes a very brief appearance.

Narration is spot on, as always!

Best of Wax and Wayne

I've been binging on Mistborn recently and while I don't think these books are as good as the original trilogy, I have grown very attached to Wax, Wayne and the rest of the gang. I think this book is certainly the best of their adventures so far and I am very much looking forward to the fourth and final book (nice surprise as I thought this was the last). Keep doing what you do, Mr Sanderson!

There's always another secret

I need to read the secret histories now. Not want, but need. The story in isolation was brilliant but there are so many questions I now have around the cosmere, the survivor and the whole of Scadrial. Can't wait for the next installment.

Another Wax and Wayne hit

May the combination of Branson Sanderson and Michael kramer never end, without doubt the very best that audible can offer. As for the mistborn series, well it's the Mistborn what more needs saying, other than read them... all

Amazing, as always

Brandon is a genius, if only it wasn't so frustrating waiting to read what he comes out with next! Always worth the wait though.

Magnificent

Such a good story with amazing characters and the voice actor really brings them alive. Best book of the Mistborn series, I highly recommend you listen to this audiobook.

can't wait for the final book!

continues to enthrall, love the mixing of technology into the storyline and the links back to the first era

Best series writen in a long time.

The whole misborn series is so well thought out and build across the series to a grand scale thays keeps getting bigger while still revealing the truth behind. cannot recommend enough.
