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.

    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.
