Description de l’éditeur
Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.
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!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This adventure brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy (after 2007's The Well of Ascension) to a dramatic and surprising climax. 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 from Ruin's deadly Inquisitors, the insidious lethal mists called the Deepness and the increasingly heavy falls of black ash that threaten to bury the land and starve its inhabitants. As the duo search for the last of the former emperor's cache of atium, source of the strongest Mistborn energies, they battle Ruin's forces as well as monsters and prophetic powers. Sanderson's saga of consequences offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.
Avis des utilisateurs
Perfect poetic trilogy!
What a satisfying ending! Brandon Sanderson is evil genius, who knows how to entrap a reader and IMHO Brandon Sanderson had not only able to curate a magnificent fantasy world but also successfully able to capture trials and tribulations of those characters, which I think put Mistborn series on a pedestal.
Hero of ages felt like a wild trip and like moth to a flame, I as reader kept coming back to this one for more and wasn’t disappointed at all. This lore has everything that a reader seeks in a well developed fantasy world and it does intersect with all the aspects of life and much more.
Albeit, I feel a wee sad as the story has come to an end but I am super stoked to have come across this trilogy.
Rephrasing Kelsier words here: Keep exploring this world, as there is always another secret! :)
