Summary
Brandon Sanderson’sMistbornbooks will continue into next timeline , butthere ’s one prequel write up I ’m desperate to see the author save — even though I already roll in the hay the ending . Sanderson ’s existence - building and character written material are telling feats inMistborn , as the generator paints a lifelike image of everyone and everything he introduces . BothMistborneras wander complex narration with multiple storylines , and there are plenty of character Sanderson could research in further profoundness . I ’d even love to spend more time with the one who have fulfil bow , as most of them have interesting past tense .
This is especially true of Sanderson’sfirstMistbornseries , which make its rebellion on the rear of characters wronged by the Final Empire . They all have good ground to despise the Lord Ruler and his minions , and their backstories form them into the crew introduced inThe Final Empire . Several of their experience would make compelling spinoff books or novella . However , there ’s one prequel , in special , that I need to see Sanderson compose — even ifmost of its major points are covered in the originalMistborntrilogy .
Brandon Sanderson ’s Mistborn Book feature some of the best storytelling in fantasy , and they may leave reader wondering what to beak up next .

I Really Want A Mistborn Prequel About Kelsier (Despite Knowing His Ending)
We Don’t Spend Enough Time With Kelsier In Mistborn Era 1
Kelsier is undoubtedly the highlight ofthe firstMistbornbook , andI want to see his backstory that ’s described inThe Final Empire . Vin meets Kelsier when he ’s a powerful Mistborn , but her wise man does n’t get going out that way — somethingMistbornEra 1 highlight . Kelsier does n’t " snarl " until he and Mare are captured by the Lord Ruler ’s forces and transport to the Pits of Hathsin . It ’s there that Kelsier obtainshis Mistborn powers , though his criminal offence against the FInal Empire debase further back . Kelsier ’s thievery set off well before he ’s caught , and his fostering reach him every reason to hold the Final Empire .
Although I make love where Kelsier cease up after his backstory , I ’d love to show more about his former animation and awakening .
Kelsier and Marsh are both half - stately , half - skaa , and Sanderson let out that their father killed their mother — and set about to do the same to them . Unfortunately , the early Clarence Shepard Day Jr. of Kelsier ’s sprightliness are n’t elaborate that good . And even his adventures with the gang and his fateful stumble to Hathsin would be more interesting if turned into a full - scale narrative . Although I know where Kelsier end up after his backstory , I ’d love to read more about his former liveliness and awakening . His story would be one of the most grippingMistbornprequels for Sanderson to write for a few reasons .

Why Kelsier’s Story Would Make Such A Compelling Mistborn Prequel
His Perspective Remains 1 Of The Most Compelling
Kelsier pass water an instant effect whenThe Final Empireintroduces him , and he has one of the most compelling perspectives in the firstMistbornbook . Kelsier is a visionary inThe Final Empire , but he ’s driven by justice and revenge more than compassionateness . Still , Kelsier understands the value of friendship and sacrifice , and he has good in him — even if it ’s balance by a darker side . Kelsier ’s duality makes him an intriguing persona to follow , and his tragic backstory and kinder moments push reader to root for him . He ’s an ideal antihero , and his other end left me wanting more of him .
The fact that Kelsier is so likable , despite his flaws , make me trust he ’s capable of carry a prequel . However , this is n’t the only reason I need to dig into his backstory . Kelsier ’s story in theMistborntrilogy raise question about his nurture , like why he does n’t crack as early as Marsh and why his relationship with Marsh is so tight . I want to recognise more about what makes Kelsier tick , turning him into the character we know and have intercourse . Since he becomes one of the most powerful Mistborn , I also require to see him obtain and influence his powers .
“The Eleventh Metal” Makes Me Want To Read Kelsier’s Full Backstory Even More
Brandon Sanderson’s Story Left Me Wanting More Again
Sanderson ’s brusk story , " The Eleventh Metal , " depicts Kelsier ’s education , offering some brainstorm into how he hones his Mistborn abilities . But while " The Eleventh Metal " serves as a Kelsier prequel of sorts , his training with Gemmel only makes me want to larn more about his past . " The Eleventh Metal " is a groovy start , but it ’s only a snapshot of Kelsier ’s life story beforeThe Final Empire . I’d make out to see Sanderson go beyond that , detailing his progress from a boy whose Padre tries to kill him to the " Savior " insert inThe Final Empire .
Since Kelsier is such a gripping persona to keep abreast , I ’ll admit that " The Eleventh Metal " just made me more desperate for a full - length Kelsier prequel .
Since Kelsier is such a gripping character to follow , I ’ll take on that " The Eleventh Metal " just made me more desperate for a full - length prequel centered on him . Readers ' time with him in this story feels abruptly - endure , just like his arc in the originalMistborntrilogy . It ’s a not bad admonisher of why Kelsier is such a dear character , but it left me require more again . I ’m sure I ’m not the only one who would jump at the opportunity to read a full - lengthMistbornprequel about Kelsier , even knowing what becomes of him .
