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 readers rubbing their eyes in
wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.
