What a finish to a series. Great follow up to books 1 and 2. Flew through the book, looking for the final solution to the story, only to find myself wishing I had slowed down. So many thoughts surrounding the ending. Truly a wonderful series.
lemes bgt kagak usah pada ngomong ama gw….
I want to cry because what was that ending
The book begun slowly and just kept ramping up. The ending blew my mind and truly turned this series into a 5/5. THE PLOT TWISTS AHHHHH
Ouch!
Took me forever to finish this one and boy did it hurt. Thank you Sanderson for being an insane plot writer, I gasped once every like 20 pages from shock.
Core theme of hope and the way our hope and love can touch others is something that will always make me cry. Im not quiet sure how to carry on after this one.
God probably the first book to almost make me cry. A bit of a struggle to get into at the start but oh, was it worth it.
hahahaha I’m not crying you are
I did not know what to expect from this book at all, and even though what I got was very different from what I hoped, it was still great. Brandon Sanderson is a mastermind the way he wrapped up everything so completely and I'm very much looking forward to his other books.
4.5/5 Crying in the club right now
genius! heartbreaking! i’m reeling
Wow! The best of the first trilogy.
The Hero of Ages: 4.75/5 “Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.” After about four months, I have finally finished the Mistborn Trilogy, and I could not be happier about the ending. Have you ever read a series, and from the moment you finish it, you know the story will stay with you for years to come? That's how I feel with the Mistborn Trilogy. Premise: The third book within the Mistborn series, The Hero of Ages Vin, and the rest of humanity, must deal with the Deepness resurfacing and environmental disasters. If that wasn't enough, a new, or old, enemy has returned to end the world. The thrilling conclusion to the Mistborn Trilogy is action-packed and full of large and small answers that have been building from the start. Writing & Plot: One word to describe the writing in The Hero of Ages is magic. The reader slowly answers questions they had throughout the trilogy, plus some answers they didn't even know they needed, and I was shocked at each one. The Hero of Ages is unmatched. It's no secret I had some issues reading the previous two books because they're long and full of politics which can be a bit slow, but everything was for a reason. I am so happy I stuck with this series because it is now one of my favorites. I ate up this novel. It's almost 750 pages, and I read it within a few days because I needed to know what happened next. It's one of those books that plays out like a movie in your head. The plot, the setting, everything comes together in this last installment, and I don't know how Brandy Sandy did it, but he made magic. I'm going to be thinking about this book for years to come. I'm jealous if you haven't read it because you get to read it for the first time. “If you give up what you want most for what you think you should want more, you'll end up miserable.” Characters: I don't even know what to say. Every character in The Hero of Ages goes through a transformation of some kind. All character development reaches a climax, and I am so appreciative of the time, and effort Brandon Sanderson went into creating these complex characters. Not one character was left out, and I am still in AWE with the ending. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm going to stop there... teehee... Conclusion: Yes. Read it. I had my doubts because I didn't seem to love the first book as much as everyone else, but after this final book, I see the hype, and I understand it. Each book within this trilogy gets better and better, and I am thrilled to see where the Cosmere takes me! I sense an obsession coming along quite nicely. This book is mind-blowing, and I never say that! Once again, these books are slow, which is why I can't give them five stars, but it is for a reason. I still think it's so worth it, and I wish I could read it for the first time again. The Mistborn Trilogy is a must-read for any fantasy lover. A one-of-a-kind story with one-of-a-kind characters!
** spoiler alert ** 3.5
and if i say this series has the best world building, magic system, plot that i’ve ever read, then what? rating: 4.5
i thought i was ready... but you can never be ready for something like that
** spoiler alert ** WHAT AN ENDING. Jeez Sanderson, how long did it take you to plan out these books so amazingly? No book will likely ever be quite perfect to me, and this book is no exception. There were definitely times when I found myself a little... bored I guess you could say, or at least wanting more to be happening. I felt like some things may have gotten dragged out slightly longer than they needed to. BUT THAT ENDING JUST STOMPED THOSE FEELINGS TO DUST. Plot twists and meticulously planned plots in books tend to appear in books that end up being my favorites, and this book had both. My gosh, the last about 100ish pages of the book are really good, especially the very end. I had actual chills throughout parts and I was SO HAPPY WITH HOW EVERYTHING TURNED OUT. (view spoiler)[ I was so happy with Sazed becoming the new god and how from his religions and from his past was tying into the prophesy of him being the hero or basically the destined god, that I didn't even mind and was even at peace with Elend and Vin's deaths. (hide spoiler)] There was a lot of talk of religion throughout the book that I actually really enjoyed reading about and it added to the story so much eventually. I had the gut feeling that it deserved 5 stars, so I am going to keep that, for now at least. It was a fantastic ending to a great and very well planned/written series that I think I will be reading again.
I cried and I didn’t even think I liked em like that….
i have never suffered like i suffered today
Not once did I know what was really going on, and now I am crying
How will I ever recover from that ending??
A truly phenomenal end to a trilogy. I have so many thoughts, but those that stand out are the character arcs and their growth, the way storylines were connected all the way through to the end, and epic conclusion to the whole story. While I did guess some parts of the ending, it made it no less satisfying to read. Parts of the book did chaff, however, and the first half of this book felt all doom and gloom with nothing to balance it out. It seemed no matter what Elend and Vin did, it was always the wrong choice. I understand the larger pieces in play for this, but it made me hesitate to pick up the book at parts. Overall the series is a 5⭐️ read, no doubt about it.
I wrote an unspoiler review(at least for the third book-if you look a head in the series thats your own fault ;) ) https://happyechos.wordpress.com/2017...
Highlights
"If there were a God, Breeze," Sazed said, "do you think he’d have let so many people be killed by the Lord Ruler? Do you think he'd have let the world become what it is now? I will not teach you-or anyone- a religion that cannot answer my questions. Never again."
“There has to be a balance, Vin," Elend said. "Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be." He sighed. "But for now," he said, nodding to the side, "we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.”
The nature of the world is that when we create something, we often destroy something else in the process.
Surprisingly, Spook didn't argue with him. Sazed found it frustrating that his friendspeaple who were, for yet, Spook didn't offer arguments. had the most part, determined atheists--would grow so offended when he threatened to join them in their lack of belief.
