I thought this was the perfect end to the first Mistborn trilogy. I very rarely read 'fun' books, and this trilogy was such an escape for me. I don't know if I'll continue in the series, just because I adored these characters so much. From book one, the world-building and the character development were just so well done. I wanted to live in this world forever. 
I wasn't a huge fan of the wordy explanation on the nature of Ruin and Preservation. They took me out of the 'action' and I felt like the reader could already understand the roles of Ruin and Preservation from the text and I didn't need to be spelt out the way it was.
