Love me some Mistborn! Currently I am reading "Dishonored: The Veiled Terror" which is the third and final book based in the world of the Dishonored games. All three are decent books. Relatively quick reads at ~200 pages, and the stories tie in with the games well enough.

Book 1 is Corvo's POV, book 2 is Daud (yuck), and book 3 is Billie Lurk post "Death of the Outsider". I wish there was more emphasis on powers used, but the author kept it light just in case the player went the "Mostly Flesh and Steel" route. Corvo just Blinks, and Daud only Transverses. I haven't gotten far enough in Veiled Terror to comment yet, lol. I wish they could have thrown in Dark Vision at least. Still, I am enjoying them.
