Description
Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.
Vin fulfilled the prophecy and released the power gathered in the Well of Ascension. But it was all a trick, and now the godlike being Ruin has been unleashed on the world, bent on its destruction by earthquake and Fire.
Having escaped death only through becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will help them fight back. Legends speak of a hero, but were any prophecies not corrupted? To make up for being duped, Vin must unravel the truth so she can become the Hero of Ages before Ruin can wipe out all life on the planet.

5By Corey TaylorA bit slow to start but it is worth it..the ending of this book has got to be one of my favorite conclusions to a series ever! Cannot recommend this series and this book enough to anyone who loves fantasy!The Perfect Conclusion
4By austbostonOverall slow read but ends with a terrific climax to the trilogy.The Goat
5By WolfGamer02Nothing much to say besides that he has done it again.Thrilling conclusion
4By ViskelA fantastic conclusion to the Mistborn trilogy. A story that had me captivated from the start was expertly handled with revelations that make me want to start all over again. While I feel the “Sanderlanche” was not as strong in this one, with some storytelling beats falling a bit flat for me, overall this is one of the best trilogies in fantasy and a must read for everyone.You should read this
5By Happy Dad Who SleepsAnd when you’re done you’ll know why. Take it on faithFantastic Series
4By mikemjohnson86The ending…. I don’t how to feel. However, Sanderson once again proved why he’s the Sensei in sorry telling and crafting a series. He was bold and the conclusion also breathed life into a continuation of a series that was absolutely amazing. I know I’m gonna read through them again because I already miss these characters.MUST READ
5By Marmotte8249I could not put the trilogy down. Started with the Way of kings and followed with Words of Radiance and waiting for the next one was checking out other books from him. I am very glad i did so. Brandon Sanderson is a master of fantasy writing.Very well written
4By AvehnorI was dubious at first about this trilogy, but quickly became a fan. Very well written and thought out!Amazing Conclusion
5By Quizn0sAn absolutely amazing and original Trilogy comes to a close in the last installment of the Mistborn Trilogy. Every reference in the past books all come full circle in the ultimate ending of a truly epic story. Sanderson still leaves me stunned at how well he planned and executed the plot. I'm looking forward to the next Trilogy set in the Mistborn universe.Best series I've read
5By Fogs77Wow. Amazing. Could not put the boos down.Very good
5By MissplainjaneBest book in the series. All the magic and religious thoughts were all very well delineated, good story. Good ending.A Remarkable Triology
5By RobLoc13Hands down, one of the top trilogies of all time. An amazing ride of emotions and richness of story lines that would stand up against the best of them. The fact that it veers from the traditional "good guys always wins" mantra is refreshing and surprisingly pleasing, especially with the powerful and meaningful ending that concludes the epic. Very, very well done.3rd
5By NewsreaderrrIf you've come this far then you know this is simply epicBeautiful
5By KennedystuntsI struggle to form the words that I want to express that will accurately describe how this book has made me feel, I have never felt anything like it before. Not jist a fantasy novel, those are far to inferior a reference for this story. It is a grand story. I still fumble for the words as I try to process. There are things in this book that have the ability to shape you into a better person if you allow it. The most thought provoking story and ending book I have ever read.Wow
5By Great full fanI dont normally write reviews but I felt it necessary for not just this book but the series itself. I have never come across another series with such a completely satisfying ending that doesn't feel like it selling out. Sanderson somehow gives us the ending we knew would come but gets us there in such a unique way it's still completely surprising and enticing. Kudos to Sanderson!!Hero of Ages
5By hello22333I read this series one to two years ago and still to this day think about it.All three books are interlaced and you can tell he wrote them together not one at a time. Best series ever.One of the best series I've ever read
5By MortifereAll three books in this series are entrancing, well thought out, and they all think outside the box. The only downside is that they had to end.
