Hero of Ages

Amaiera ederra trilogia honi. Liburu honek benetan harrapatu nau, erritmo ederra, eta lehenengo liburuan sortutako galdera gehienak ixten ditu elegantziaz. Hitzik gabe nago.

Absolutely amazing series!

It's high fantasy so didn't completely expect Vin (nor Elend) to die at the end. A riveting read nonetheless.

Some unexpected twists and turns (Sazed being the hero of ages) and late reveals (nature and appearance of the Preservation power/ god) but also things that are kind of expected (once you know piercing somebody with a metal spike binds them to the Ruin power/ god you know Vin's earring is doing exactly that - although it's "revealed" only later).

все на купу, але фінал, як це характерно для сандерсона, потужно драматичний. слухабельне :-)

This trilogy really came together so perfectly. So often I will find that I don't particularly like one book or another but in this case, Sanderson delivered three books that each felt unique and complete in themselves but also contributed to a cohesive narrative. Really looking forward to the next trilogy in the series.

I will just say: this is the most amazing fantasy series I've read in forever. And there is a plot twist that came from another galaxy and completely blew my mind, for real.

Just read it. You won't be disappointed.

This was a fantastic conclusion to the Mistborn trilogy. There were times where I could see where the characters were going and what they would have to do before they did, which was ok because the journey was still entertaining. Brandon mentions in the preface that he was not originally satisfied with Sazed's story arc - whatever it was before he finished the book, I'm glad he fixed it. Brandon also left an easy opening for follow-on story that will be very different.

Fantastic ending to a suspenseful trilogy.

Now that's a way to wrap things up neatly.

Neat character arcs. Lots of action. Sazed's repetitive contemplation sits in stark contrast to the pacing of the other characters, but the depiction of his depression and the payoff of it all is glorious.

I'm not a fan of Sanderson's prose, so I'm hesitant to pick up the other books in this universe. Even after the tantalizing setup at the end of this book.

PS: I still think Book 2 was largely pointless. So much could have been written on the psyche of the skaa and the nobility after 1000 years of stability and oppression, and the political questions that arise after that event. Playing out those questions only in Elend's head - punctuated by declarations from Tindwyl - made it terrible. The sparseness of Book 2 made for a tight Book 3 though, and I'm thankful for these small mercies.

I'm giving this book 5 stars over the customary 4 star rating I would have simply because the "wrap-up" of the story is so complete! I don't know if I can explain this better, but Sanderson manages to tie up every single loose thread through all 3 books in this final book.

There are some minor slip-ups eg: When Vin is metal-less and fights Marsh (Yomen's chambers), she pulls a vial from him and recharges herself. Then she proceeds to burn duralumin, something that Marsh would definitely not have, because Inquisitors cannot burn it , but on the whole, I'm really impressed with Sanderson's ability to explain everything in his world, making it seem plausible and enhancing the reading experience tremendously.

やっと「即位の泉」や「時代の勇士」に関わる質問が明白になるかと思いきや、また新しい何かが現れます。自分はその展開を察知しませんでした。それにミストスピリットの生体もまだ未明です。知りたくてなりません！

主人公の周りにいる人物が続々と殺害されますが、全滅しなくて「生き残り」は次巻でどうするか楽しみにしています。

I really enjoyed this book and recommend it in English or Japanese. The series is 素晴らしい！

Good book. Does a great job of putting together all of the pieces from the previous two books. And without miring itself in recreating the movie "Pretty Woman" for some character like he did on the first books. Clearly, Sanderson put a ridiculous amount of effort into the details of the magic system he uses in the Mistborn series. Because of how the magic works, I can't help but think that Mistborn would make for a good videogame.

In summary... Lots of action. Plenty of hacked off Coloss body parts. And the fairly major, yet well-thought-out and interesting, focus on made-up religions would, no doubt, tick off the nutjobs who thought Harry Potter was an evil devil book written by Satan.
