Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.
As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.
Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.
In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn. (Though if you have read the trilogy—but it has been a while—you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books.)
Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler.
There’s always another secret.
Brandon’s major books for the beginning of 2016 are The Bands of Mourning , the sixth Mistborn novel, and Calamity , the finale of the Reckoners trilogy.
He also released his longest novella yet, Mistborn: Secret History , which explores behind the scenes of the original Mistborn Trilogy and thus is filled with spoilers for those three books; it also has some spoilers for The Bands of Mourning.
Brandon Sanderson was born in 1975 in Lincoln, Nebraska. As a child Brandon enjoyed reading, but he lost interest in the types of titles often suggested to him, and by junior high he never cracked a book if he could help it. This changed when an eighth grade teacher gave him Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly.
Brandon was working on his thirteenth novel when Moshe Feder at Tor Books bought the sixth he had written. Tor has published Elantris , the Mistborn trilogy and its followup The Alloy of Law , Warbreaker , and The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance , the first two in the planned ten-volume series The Stormlight Archive. He was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series; 2009’s The Gathering Storm and 2010’s Towers of Midnight were followed by the final book in the series, A Memory of Light , in January 2013. Four books in his middle-grade Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians series were released by Scholastic, and his novella Infinity Blade Awakening was an ebook bestseller for Epic Games accompanying their acclaimed Infinity Blade iOS video game series. Two more novellas, Legion and The Emperor s Soul , were released by Subterranean Press and Tachyon Publications in 2012, and 2013 brought two young adult novels, The Rithmatist from Tor and Steelheart from Delacorte.
The only author to make the short list for the David Gemmell Legend Award six times in four years, Brandon won that award in 2011 for The Way of Kings. The Emperor’s Soul won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novella. He has appeared on the New York Times Best-Seller List multiple times, with five novels hitting the #1 spot.
Currently living in Utah with his wife and children, Brandon teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University.
這本書的開篇簡直像一記重拳,直擊靈魂深處。作者構建的世界觀宏大而又細膩,那種金屬的質感、火焰的灼熱,甚至連空氣中彌漫的硫磺味,都仿佛能通過文字觸碰到。我花瞭很長時間纔完全沉浸進去,不是因為情節晦澀,而是因為那些鋪陳的細節實在太豐富瞭。你不得不佩服作者的想象力,他筆下的人物絕不僅僅是符號,他們有著深沉的過去和復雜的動機,每一個決定都牽動著無數人的命運。讀到一半時,我甚至不得不停下來,去查閱一下關於煉金術和特定魔法體係的背景資料,那種渴求瞭解更多的衝動是很少有的。敘事節奏的把握堪稱教科書級彆,在最緊張的時刻戛然而止,吊足瞭胃口,讓人不得不熬夜去探尋真相。整體而言,它提供瞭一種近乎身臨其境的閱讀體驗,讓你不僅僅是在“看”故事,更像是在“經曆”一場史詩般的洗禮。
评分坦白說,初讀時我有點被那些層齣不窮的術語和復雜的傢族關係繞暈瞭,感覺像是直接被扔進瞭一個巨大的迷宮裏,四處都是陌生的標記和古老的誓言。但正是這種初期的“迷失感”,反而成瞭後期爆發式理解的鋪墊。當一些關鍵性的綫索終於串聯起來時,那種豁然開朗的快感,簡直無與倫比。作者非常擅長埋設伏筆,很多你一開始覺得無關緊要的對話或場景描寫,到故事的後半部分會以一種驚人的方式迴響,讓你忍不住拍案叫絕,感嘆作者布局之深遠。我尤其欣賞其中對“權力腐蝕人心”這一主題的探討,它沒有用簡單的黑白來劃分角色,而是將人性中的灰色地帶描繪得淋灕盡緻,讓你在為英雄歡呼的同時,也會對那些“反派”産生一絲微妙的理解和同情。這本書的深度,絕對不是那種一目瞭然的爽文能比擬的,它需要你投入心力去挖掘和品味。
评分從純粹的動作場麵來看,這本書的編排也令人血脈僨張。那些關於如何運用特定能力進行戰鬥的描述,完全跳脫瞭傳統奇幻的窠臼。作者似乎對物理學的某些基礎概念有著獨特的理解,並將這些應用到瞭超自然力量的展現上。每一次能力的釋放,都不是憑空而來,而是伴隨著嚴格的代價和清晰的運作機製,這極大地增強瞭戰鬥的可信度和緊張感。尤其是在描繪大規模的衝突時,視角轉換得非常流暢,時而聚焦於個體英雄的絕地反擊,時而拉遠到整個戰局的走嚮,讓人仿佛置身於硝煙彌漫的前綫,能夠清晰地判斷局勢的利弊。我讀到好幾個關鍵打鬥場麵時,心跳都跟著加速瞭,必須放下書喝口水纔能繼續,那種純粹的、腎上腺素飆升的閱讀體驗,是很多追求“大場麵”的作品所追求卻難以達到的境界。
评分然而,這本書最讓我反復迴味的部分,並非那些史詩般的戰鬥或錯綜復雜的陰謀,而是其對“信仰”與“懷疑”之間永恒拉鋸戰的深刻洞察。它探討瞭人們在麵對無法理解的力量或製度時,是如何構建自己的世界觀,以及當這些基石開始動搖時,內心的恐懼與掙紮。書中對於曆史記載的不可靠性和英雄神話的逐步解構,處理得極為冷靜和客觀,沒有急於下定論,而是將選擇的權利交給瞭讀者。讀完後,我感覺自己對許多既有的觀念都産生瞭某種程度的審視和動搖,這是一種非常難得的、具有哲學思辨價值的閱讀體驗。它成功地將一個奇幻故事提升到瞭對人性與真理的追問層麵,讓它具備瞭超越類型文學的持久生命力,絕對是值得反復咀嚼的佳作。
评分這本小說的對話設計簡直是一門藝術,簡直是教科書級彆的“少說多做”的典範。很多時候,角色之間的交鋒並非依靠激烈的爭吵或直接的對峙,而是隱藏在看似平淡的問答之中,話語的張力全都凝結在那幾秒的沉默裏。我尤其喜歡那些看似隨意卻充滿機鋒的唇槍舌戰,每一次你以為抓住瞭對方的把柄,下一秒就會發現自己早已落入瞭更深的陷阱。這種智力上的博弈,遠比單純的武力展示更讓人熱血沸騰。而且,作者對不同角色心境的捕捉非常精準,即便是配角,他們的聲音也極具辨識度,從不含糊不清。讀完後,我甚至能想象齣他們獨特的語調和習慣性的動作,這種鮮活感是很多大部頭作品難以企及的。它成功地將一場宏大的戰爭,濃縮進瞭每一次精準而緻命的言語交鋒之中。
评分補一個標記……這部讓我徹底磕上瞭Kelsier/Hoid這對……互揍的那段太帶感瞭(不)阿凱後期一隻眼打瞭血金術釘子的造型也很帥!

评分迷霧之子正傳的番外,或者說是一條隱藏的暗綫。通過神瑛的設定,串聯瞭作者筆下的各個星球,從而奠定瞭三界宙的架構。依蘭翠和白沙的人類也在這裏客串。
评分作為世界設定拓展的補充,也算是第一個三部麯幕後劇情的解讀,但是情節稍微枯燥
