Publisher's summary

From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.

Who is the Hero of Ages?

To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. 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. Humanity appears to be doomed.

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. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend, lest Ruin learn their plans!

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

Blown away again!

I don't know how Brandon Sanderson does it. In each and every book he creates he continues to fascinate and amaze me. The depth at which he creates worlds and cultures is like nothing I've seen. Brandon is truly One of the most talented writers of our age.

Wow I mean wow

Best book & series I've ever read. I was emotionally invested in the story & characters. A mist born movie would be amazing

Fantastic

Everything Brandon Sanderson writes is so complex that it always keeps me guessing. I think I know what's about to happen but then everything I thought gets turned on its head. there are very few writers so unpredictable and in such a way that keeps you enthralled for hours on end and not even realize you just finished 24hrs or listening in a week. Thank you for everything you do.

Amazing Ending to epic story arch

Where does The Hero of Ages rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Epic performance by Michael Kramer. Voices/dialects were maintained flawlessly throughout all three books.

Any additional comments?

Loved the ending to the story line. First book gave away a lot and became a bit predictable but loved the twist in the third. Invokes a lot of different emotions for both the good and evil characters.

Great audible

I was a bit hesitant at first as I listened to the story but as I continued on it got better and better. The ending is very impressive. Spoiler alert!! It's good.

Beautiful ending!

I’m so grateful for how this book ended. It tied up loose ends, left me with a smile and didn’t leave me questioning what happens next in their story. Thank you Brandon Sanderson.

worth reading the series to read this.

this book was absolutely amazing a great read and a great narrator this story was wrapped well seeing as this is the third book and yet there are more in a related Series in the story ended well to be open-ended.

Great series!

I just finished and I’m in tears. Great book! What an ending! Wow! This last book was action packed beginning to end!

Very engaging!

Brandon Sanderson always provides an excellent story, and this book was no exception. His stories always take turns that are unpredictable, while never losing the integrity of the storyline. I am in awe of his creativity.

An excellent performance by Michael Kramer. He gives each character a unique voice that fits them, and it doesn't take long to pick out the character speaking based on his tone and accent.

Great book!

The writing is extremely well done and the narrator makes the characters come to life. I loved the originality of the world mechanics.
