The final book in the Original Mistborn trilogy did not disappoint. The way that Brandon Sanderson puts all of the puzzle pieces in place is fantastic. Questions I had, even in the final pages of the book were answered. You see how far Vin and Elend have come since we met them in book 1. What stood out to me with this series was how the prophecy was handled. I can see why Brandon Sanderson is high up on fantasy readers lists. Books 2 and 3 could have taken this series in a completely different direction which I probably wouldn't have liked. But, in Brandon's hands, we have a banger of a conclusion. I'm looking forward to the Stormlight Archives now.
