Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metal minds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.

Review: Passionnant ! - Brandon Sanderson est un magicien. Il nous prend par la main et nous conduit là où il veut. Il introduit même subtilement un zeste de science-fiction dans cette (brillante) série de Fantasy. Les rebondissements sont nombreux, l'histoire garde un rythme soutenu et reste caractérisée par de l'action, encore de l'action. Wax et Wayne sont des personnages hautement sympathiques. Honnêtement, on supportera bien un quatrième volume de leurs aventures sans problème ! C'est inventif, intelligent, nerveux et super bien écrit. Brillant (comme d'hab). ## Features - Item Trademark: TOR BOOKS - manufacturer: Tor Books - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 0.55, 0.55 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #189,982 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #564 in Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #767 in Epic Fantasy #1,403 in U.S. Literature | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,161 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bands of Mourning: A Mistborn Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cOXqgvWhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente livro e entrega! *by G***S on 14 June 2026* Excelente! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Passionnant ! *by S***A on 27 February 2017* Brandon Sanderson est un magicien.

Blending adventure, mystery, and rich world-building, this novel takes readers on a thrilling journey that expands the scope of the series in surprising ways. The story follows Waxillium Ladrian, along with Wayne, Marasi, and Steris, as they set out on a dangerous quest to find the legendary Bands of Mourning—powerful metalminds said to grant immense abilities. What begins as a treasure hunt soon turns into something much deeper, filled with political intrigue, hidden histories, and shocking revelations. One of the strongest aspects of the book is its sense of adventure. The journey across unfamiliar lands, combined with clues, myths, and unexpected dangers, gives the story an almost Indiana Jones-like feel. Each step brings new discoveries, keeping readers engaged and curious about what lies ahead. The characters continue to shine, especially Wax and Wayne. Their friendship adds humor and emotional depth, balancing the intense action with lighter moments. Steris, in particular, shows significant growth, becoming more confident and integral to the group. What makes this book a great read is how it deepens the Mistborn world. Sanderson introduces new ideas about ancient powers, lost civilizations, and the origins of the Bands. The twists in the later part of the story are especially impactful, changing how readers see the entire series. The writing is clear, engaging, and cinematic. The magic system remains as fascinating as ever, with creative uses of Allomancy and Feruchemy adding excitement to every conflict. Overall, The Bands of Mourning is a thrilling and satisfying read. It combines action, mystery, and character development beautifully, making it a must-read for fantasy lovers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/255908899-the-bands-of-mourning-a-mistborn-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/255908899-the-bands-of-mourning-a-mistborn-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
