No puedo expresar con palabras lo que acabo de leer, estoy flipando.
Desde que descubrí a Sanderson en noviembre del año pasado, me puse como objetivo leer todos sus libros y, cómo no, compré el primer tomo de la saga “El Imperio Final” que no sólo me encantó, sino que me marcó de una manera indescriptible. Después leí el segundo libro y también obviamente me encantó ¿pero este? Estoy sin palabras. Creo que es el libro más denso y complicado de los tres pero me ha atrapado y me lo he leído en cuatro días, cosa que nunca hago porque es un libro de casi 800 páginas y me suele llevar más tiempo.
Los personajes siempre los voy a llevar en mi corazón. Sazed, Kelsier y Vin me han marcado de por vida y sólo puedo darle las gracias a este magnífico escritor por abrirme las puertas a su increíble universo llamado Cosmere y no puedo esperar más a seguir leyendo los otros libros.
Sigo sin entender cómo una persona puede tener tan magnífica imaginación y plasmarlo en unos libros TAN buenos. Cada libro que leo suyo me gusta más y más y me declaro fan incondicional de Brandon Sanderson con todas las putas letras.
Me duele mucho despedirme de estos personajes tan queridos pero siempre los llevaré conmigo. No voy a mentir: he llorado con el final, pero me he quedado completa, no sabría ni cómo lo explicarlo.
Y ¿qué más puedo decir? Esta saga de fantasía es increíble y se la recomiendo a todo el mundo, pero he de decir que es bastante densa así que no la escogería como la primera saga para leer si te estás introduciendo en la fantasía.
Todo en este libro ha sido perfecto, no tengo ninguna pega. Menuda puta locura.

Possibly one of the best endings to a trilogy that I have ever read. The stakes felt real, and the last bit of the story was simply beautiful to read. What a treasure to read a fantasy novel were everything was wrapped up in a nice little bow with no loose ends.
While I enjoyed this book mostly for it's phenomenal ending, the Sazed chapters were sometimes hard to read as he is dealing with his depression. Thankfully, the Spook and TenSoon chapters peppered in kept me going. I would have loved to read more about TenSoon, but I think his story was best told in bits.
Over-all I'm super glad I stuck with the Mistborn series after not really liking the "Well of Ascension" very much. This made it all worth it.

Finally got the courage to read this book so I could say I read the entire Mistborn trilogy…and wow what a journey! From the start, of the series, I connected to and loved Vin and with this conclusion, I'm just in awe of the person she grew into. From a skittish street kid who thought trusting others was stupid...to a selfless and loving role model.
This trilogy only takes place over a few short years but the amount of character growth, from all the characters, is fantastic and had me cheering for them every step of the way.
Overall a fantastic and epic fantasy that I highly recommend giving a go, if you haven't already. 💜
