Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale spinner, author of the acclaimed debut "Elantris," dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises and magical martial-arts action that begins in "Mistborn." For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed. Readers of "Elantris" thought they'd discovered someone special in Brandon Sanderson. "Mistborn "proves they were right.

《迷雾帝国》系列小说其实不只在西方受到欢迎,除了台湾之外,在2009年起,日本就开始了陆陆续续的翻译工作。 跟台湾不同的是,台湾是依照英文的分册,从第一部到第三部来翻译,也因此每本书的的厚度都很可观,以第一部为例,已经超过700页,第二部的英文原文内容比第一部更多...
评分 评分 评分=====对译者的恶意吐槽========= 译本里铺天盖地的白蜡白蜡白蜡,原文是pewter。 那是白镴,不是白蜡。 白蜡是木材! 如果译者有点中文底子,哪怕你就看过几本评书或者基础名著红楼梦也就能分清白蜡/白镴吧? 评书里一遇到十八般兵器就有类似这种套话:“刀枪剑戟,鞭锏锤抓...
评分去年开刀切除胆结石的时候,看了这套【迷雾之子】,书很厚。很过瘾。 看的时候,我觉得这就是武侠小说。 三部曲。难得的是,每一部都是有阶段性结局的。看完一部你可以休息一下,虽然还有一些未解的谜团,但故事的大致走向都交代清楚了。 我不会剧透,但是谈论这本书,还是...
Love all of it, from beginning to the end.

评分BS的语言水平跟阿西莫夫有的一比…很朴素;细微的冲突解决方面经常性无力;人物塑造跟几个奇幻大师没法比。但是…看的让人很爽很欲罢不能。
评分One of the best books I've ever read. Great series!
