From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.
The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler -- the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years -- has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young prot g , Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves. As Kelsier's prot g and slayer of the Lord Ruler she is now venerated by a budding new religion, a distinction that makes her intensely uncomfortable. Even more worrying, the mists have begun behaving strangely since the Lord Ruler died, and seem to harbor a strange vaporous entity that haunts her. Stopping assassins may keep Vin's Mistborn skills sharp, but it's the least of her problems. Luthadel, the largest city of the former empire, doesn't run itself, and Vin and the other members of Kelsier's crew, who lead the revolution, must learn a whole new set of practical and political skills to help. It certainly won't get easier with three armies - one of them composed of ferocious giants - now vying to conquer the city, and no sign of the Lord Ruler's hidden cache of atium, the rarest and most powerful allomantic metal. As the siege of Luthadel tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows. Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson The CosmereThe Stormlight Archive

A well composed memoir
Format: Paperback
Full review on nguyentoread.com
The Best We Could Do is Thi Bui's graphic memoir. Thi was born in Vietnam three months before the Vietnam War reached what we consider to be the end of the war. She came to America with her family in 1978. Bui's memoir spans multiple generations. In learning of her mother's and father's pasts, we learn the history of their parents. We see the struggles and pains of two people from very different walks of life trying to live during a time of war and chaos. We see glimpses of the agony everyone in the middle of the Vietnam War faced. Those who were not directly involved on either side but were caught in the middle of larger powers at war. This memoir more closely details the lives of her parents leading up to them arriving in America and making their life there. I was unsure if this memoir would focus largely on the experience of being a Vietnamese immigrant in America. There were parts that showed how it was for Bui's parents in a country where tensions were still high after the Vietnam War, where discrimination largely due to that was overt, and where degrees were not recognized and people who had spent their lives working and creating careers for themselves were not qualified for most work and had to hurdle multiple challenges to learn a language and complete education all over again if they wanted to provide a better life for their children. What Bui so beautifully captures in this memoir is the why behind how her parents were in raising her. Although Bui was born in Vietnam she was young when her family arrived in America. So I think her experience is one that many first generation Vietnamese-American people of my generation can understand and sympathize with. The wanting to know why their parents are the way they are but unable to ask because many have parents, like Bui's mother, who reluctantly share their stories and don't allow their children that glimpse that could help them better understand. In the panel which was most poignant to me, Bui draws her father as he looks over her work that would become The Best We Could Do. He says "You know how it was for me. And why later I wouldn't be... normal."

Depth to Jedi
Format: Kindle
For years I have read novels and comics about the expanded world of Star Wars, from the legends before the Disney Era to the tragically askew and rushed canonical time line of today (All my opinion of course).
However, it is a breath of fresh air to read, however quickly, a story about the Jedi, the expansion of characters previously only seen in other facets of Star Wars Media.
Great comic, can’t wait for more! We will be watching your career with great interest!

Kinda underwhelming but still nice (Minor spoilers)
Format: Paperback
First off, I want to say that I loved Jedi: Fallen Order. Besides the technical issues that came with it, I loved the game, it is up there with the best Star Wars IMO (besides that ending). So naturally, I was very excited when they announced a tie-in comic series. I'm not too big into comics but I do have a little collection and enjoy reading them, this was the first one that I was REALLY excited to get. Maybe my expectations were a little too high but it was just...meh...to me. It does tell you why Eno gets obsessed with the Zeffo (or at least how he discovers them) and I appreciate that. It also shows a little of the second sister (not much). However, if you've read Anakin and Obi-wan it's pretty much the same story. I was also a little disappointed with the art of it, it was ok but not as good as the others I've read. Overall, I would still recommend it if you just want some more stories with Cere and Eno Cordova then I can recommend this, it does its job at that and gets a 4/5 (would be 5/5 if the art was better), but if you didn't play Jedi Fallen Order and don't plan to, I'd say skip this one.
