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.

Who is the Hero of Ages?

To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness--the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists--is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed.

Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!

    A 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.

    The 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.

    I 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.

    An 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.
