THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE


****

A new emperor; but can there be a new world?

Tricked into releasing the evil spirit Ruin while attempting to close the Well of Ascension, new emperor Elend Venture and his wife, the assassin Vin, are now hard-pressed to save the world.

This adventure brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax as Sanderson's saga offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.

Great ending to an excellent trilogy!

Loved the last book in the trilogy! Brandon Sanderson is an excellent storyteller and the narration on this by Michael Kramer brings the text to life!

Amazing

Another day of listening to 5 in the morning because I couldn't stop.
Another thing I can't seem to do is connect the clues left in these books until I'm told by the narrator and it all becomes so clear, it's all so thought out and mind blowing 12/10 experience

Pleasing 'til the very end

This was a ride and a half.
Captivating me, day after day.
I won't spoil anything.
Listen yourself.

Great end to this trilogy

I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Both the voice and author performed remarkably in this book. Highly recommended if you enjoyed the first book.

Great Fantasy Adventure

Well worth getting to the end - great story telling and takes you away to a similar but different enough world to sell it. Great narrating too.

My all time favorite trilogy MASTERPIECE

What can I say other than this book took my heart ❤️ and soul out of my body for a minute and they both came back. I have never read a book from the Beginning of a trilogy to the Ending of a trilogy that had the best character developments other than the MISTBORN trilogy. Furthermore the MAGIC SYSTEM is these books are so incredible so unique than any other books I’ve read before. And I love how we see each character develops over the course of these 3 books. For me I don’t have one favorite book in the trilogy there all my favorite. But I have to mention book 3 THE HERO OF AGES made me cry 😭 literally I felt like I was being ripped away and put back together again. The Ending was such a bittersweet, emotional moment. VIN,ELEND,SAZED 😍😭FAREWELL.

Just loved this series

I just loved this series. If you loved 'The Wheel of Time' you will be thrilled with this also. The development and richness of the characters lives, I fell in love with them, all of them in different ways. Vins journey is so special and Sayzid quest for self knowledge, truly this series has everything and I didn't want it to end. As always I loved Michael Kramers reading.

A good storyline but exhausting

Sanderson like in the rest of his books, bring a good story but makes it cruciatingly slow with way too much fantasy philosophy
