I was quite pleased with this final book in the Mistborn trilogy. Sanderson manages to pull together all the threads and conclude the novel in an extremely satisfying way, even if it may be a little tragic.

As this book delves deep into the metaphysical struggle that is occurring in the world of the Mistborn novels, it's easy to identify the influence of Mormonism in aspects of the book's internal theology, particularly the end of the book. I have to admit that for a small while I was a little worried that Sazed's search for faith was going to end up being a religious pitch. That didn't turn out to be the case, so I'm a little confused why some people think this is an issue. Honestly, who cares where an author gets their ideas, so long as it provides a satisfying story?

I loved the puzzle of trying to determine who the Hero of Ages was from the text that appears at the beginning of each chapter. Although, the reveal of the third art, Hemalurgy gets its first explanation in these passages, which almost seems a bit like a cheat, but ultimately played out well in the story.

I really enjoyed the conclusion to this series, and while more books are welcome, I am content with how the story concluded.
