⭐ 5/5 ⭐
Well that was a journey and a half! Book three of the Mistborn era 1 trilogy and it does not disappoint. The world is ending and Vin, Elend, Sazed and the remaining members of the crew have to fight to save it.
- Sanderson is the king of world building and this book is no exception. He expands wonderfully on the Scadriel we know from previous books and gives us new areas to learn and explore. I loved the detail and life he put into this world and how vivid it was.
- As well as expanding the world, we get to explore some more of characters. I particularly enjoyed Spook and Sazed's journeys as well as the indepth look we get at the kandra. Similarly, the metal-based magic systems get further detail and exploration and wonderful play into the power balances throughout the book.
- I genuinely felt so emotional ending the book. I didn't guess the ending and it was beautifully done. Sanderson definitely knows how to wrap up a story.
A worthy and intensely enjoyable ending to the trilogy. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
