In many ways, this book has a much darker, more grim overall tone. And, for his part, Elend, now granted the abilities that Vin wields so masterfully, must face where his strengths and Vin’s differ. Vin, in particular, a being who is almost all-powerful in her own way, must learn navigate the complicated fall-out of the decisions she made in the previous book. As the challenges they face have grown more complicated, so, too, do we see Elend and Vin grapple with decisions that seemingly have no “good” answer. It is the conclusion of large character arcs for both Vin and Elend which has seen each character grow from fairly simple beginnings to the very complex beings we see here. What can I saw about this book that hasn’t been said a million times before and isn’t just me reduced to incoherent gushing? I mean, simply put, it’s an excellent book and a fantastic finisher for the trilogy as a whole. Now, with the very world around them turning against them, Vin and Elend must fight once again not just for the freedom of their people, but for their very survival. For her part, Vin is grappling with the world-changing results of her actions after she accidentally released Ruin, an almost all-powerful destructive force, back into the world. Yes, Elend evaded death by becoming a Mistborn himself, but balancing his duties as leader with learning to master the powerful abilities now at his hands is more than most can accomplish. Things are not looking up for Vin and Elend. But it’s an entirely different beast to tackle an ending. Another to not get caught up in the sophomore slump of the second novel. Review: Here we are, the last book in Sanderson’s first Mistborn trilogy! And this is very much where the proof was in the pudding as far as his future as a rock star fantasy author goes! It’s one thing to write a great started to a series. Previously Reviewed: “Mistborn” and “The Well of Ascension” Vin can’t even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans! Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. But as a result, the Deepness-the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists-is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. Where Can You Get this Book: Amazon | IndieBound | WorldCatīook Description: Who is the Hero of Ages?
