About this ebook

This discounted ebundle includes: Mistborn: The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension, The Hero of Ages

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn trilogy is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails?

Mistborn: The Final Empire — Kelsier, a brilliant thief has turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler as the mark. Kel's plan is the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into the fold. But she will have to learn to trust if she is to master powers of which she never dreamed.

The Well of Ascension — Evil has been defeated; the war has just begun. Vin, the street urchin who has become the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.

The Hero of Ages — The Deepness has returned, along with unusually heavy ashfalls and powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed. Vin and Eland investigate the past to save the future, and in the end, sacrifices must be made.

Ratings and reviews

Spoiler Alert: So in the second book Vin is "Concerned that there is a traitor in their midst" when she's concerned about one of her friends is possibly the enemy Kandra. Thing is 1: the Kandra is an imposter so and it is not your friend so it can't be a traitor. 2: the Kandra imitates by eating a person's corpse. So shouldn't she be a bit upset at the thought that one of her friends is dead and there's a thing running around looking like her friend after eating her friend? This part annoys me greatly.

As others have noted the first book is the best of the bunch. A little predictable and the chapter blurbs feel like too much hand holding. Still kept me interested right to the slightly disappointing end. Some of the character development is very well done, but the supporting cast is fairly 2 dimensional. I will try way of kings.

Amazing vision of a unique fantasy world rendered in a sort of baroque steampunk magic style. Epic battles and heroes, set in a dramatic and unsettling world that comes to a satisfying conclusion. I felt it dragged a bit in some sections for me, getting into more detail before advancing the plot. But overall, a great series with a strong sense of place and time.
