THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE


****

A new emperor; but can there be a new world?

Tricked into releasing the evil spirit Ruin while attempting to close the Well of Ascension, new emperor Elend Venture and his wife, the assassin Vin, are now hard-pressed to save the world.

This adventure brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax as Sanderson's saga offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.

Deeper and better than first thought

A book that takes you by the shoulder and makes you care about every character and ends it beautifully in a way that made me want to give a standing ovation. Really a beautiful and exciting book. Might just by the actual book just because.

Epic

Fantastic storyline with great characters and twists and turns you don't see coming. Sanderson's vision of the world is vast and incredibly detailed.

Gripping

Loved it.

Sanderson has achieved something here, the gradual introduction of his magic system from minor effects in the first good to world changing in the third is seemless. Well done! Please continue in your work!

First fantasy book: hooked within minutes!

The narrator of this book is incredible, making it easy to distinguish between characters and understand tone. It has been a marvelous book to listen to, I couldn't put it down. First time I have turned to a Fantasy and I'm now going to explore new ones!

Amazing!!!

I thought this book was amazing. Much better than the second one. The ending of this book has such a clever twist. The characters become like your family.
