The original covers I have follow the theme of the books a lot better, with dark background and ash.
Have I mentioned that the opening of Mistborn is one of my all-time favourite openings of a book EVER?
"Ash fell from the sky." Simple, yet sets the mood for the entire first trilogy :D
I actually haven't finished Lost Metal yet :look: It's in my Kindle, and I am about 2/3 trough it I think... I really need to get on that.
Also, those covers are horrible :(
I could see Alcatraz being in the kids department, but I wouldn't read those to very young children. Then again, I read the Animorphs series when I was a child, so who knows 🤷♀️
The first book can be called YA, I don't think the rest of them can be. Maybe the rest of Era 1, maybe that is why I don't really like the last two books of Era 1.
His YA books are probably Steelheart (Reckoners series) and most definitely the Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians series. If you...
