      As I finish this trilogy, I feel like addressing this book on two levels first, on its own strengths and weaknesses as a novel and second, as the capstone of the series and as an exposition of the Mistborn world and mythology I ll start with the latter of the two.The overwhelming impression I get from the Mistborn books is that they have been written by someone who is a fantasy fan first, a fantasy author second A pedantic geek, if you will And I mean all of this as the highest praise Sanderson [...]

      Re read on AudioWell, that ending I cried I finally got to find out all of the mysteries behind the mysteries in the book I loved how Spook s character grew so much in this book, although some of it wasn t from a good place But sometimes you have to go to a bad place to get to the good place I fell in love with his character a lot in this book I got to find out about TenSoon and the Kandra I loved learning about that, although I wanted to vaporize some of them TenSoon won my heart in the secon [...]

      The Hero of Ages is undeniably a satisfying ending to the Mistborn series which answered all my questions and I was left with a bitter sweet feeling after I swiped to the last page but satisfied that it could not have ended any other way I loved the first volume, the 2nd was a decent transition to this big boy which almost was as excellent as the first I expected most of the plot twists so I wasn t mind blown like other readers but, in the same time, I was awed by Sanderson s imagination and hi [...]

      I think Sanderson is a really impressive author of the fantasy genre It must be incredibly hard to insert originality into books of this type so much has been done before and then done again With Sanderson it feels like I m reading something completely new and completely exciting His books and his characters are, simply put, cool He just knows what his readership wants to see, and he gives it to them The action scenes have an almost cinematic quality too them they remind me of the combat from Th [...]

      This book, man So while I did rate it 5 stars, I found The Well of Ascension to be the weakest book because it was the slowest and took until about the halfway mark to really get exciting It ended up being a great middle book, though This book, I did struggle to get into as I found the beginning slow after that explosive ending of the second book, but then it really began to pick up, and when it did I was hooked.This final book in the original Mistborn trilogy takes us right into war, with all o [...]

      So this was BY FAR my favorite installment in the first Mistborn trilogy.I cannot even begin to sum up how great this was LIKE DAMN.I ve mentioned before how much I appreciate Sanderson s heavy inclusion of religion and religious characters in his work He somehow is able to ask those big questions, taking his characters through hell and back, without making the reader feel at all criticized or alienated The character developments in this one especially for my precious Spook were just beyond anyt [...]

      5 Starsfull review Mistborn 3 represents a fantastic bittersweet conclusion to a series that is nothing short of epic fantasy masterclass Amazing diverse characters, a meticulous crafted magic system and powerful theme of good vs evil makes this one of my favorite series of all times Bravo Mr Sanderson Hero of Ages is arguably the strongest of all 3 books in the series, if that s even possible I read some reviews prior to starting Mistborn 3, and the consensus was this one was a heartbreaker Som [...]

      Somehow, we ll find it The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are NOW THIS, HOW YOU CONCLUDE A SERIES The Hero of Ages isn t my favorite in the series, Actually it swung between 4 and 4.5 Stars throughout mostly the whole book, it was slower than the first two, and not as action packed, BUT, it picked the FUCK up at the last 150 Pages, which is something to be expected from a Mistborn book but after this ending, GREAT [...]
