Summary
From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the beautifully designed Mistborn Boxed Set I， collecting his thrilling trilogy。
Mistborn:
For a thousand years， the ash has fallen and no flowers have bloomed。 For a thousand years， the Skaa have slaved in misery and lived in fear。 For a thousand years， the Lord Ruler has reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror。 Until Kelsier， a brilliant half-Skaa thief and natural leader， finds in himself the powers of a Mistborn， and turns his talents to the ultimate caper， with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark。
The Well of Ascension:
The impossible task has been accomplished。 The Lord Ruler has been vanquished。 But with Kelsier dead， too， the awesome task of building a new world has been left to former street urchin and Kelsier's protégé Vin， who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land。 Vin is now worshipped as a hero in her own right， but she is haunted by a strange vaporous entity hidden in the mists。
The Hero of Ages:
Having escaped death only by becoming a Mistborn himself， Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world。 But with the return of lethal mists， increasingly heavy ashfalls， and ever more powerful earthquakes， Elend and Vin aren't sure that killing the Lord Ruler to end the Final Empire was the right thing to do after all。

Le pongo cuatro estrellas porque el principio de este libro se me ha hecho muy pesado comparado con el anterior pero MADRE MÍA， una vez más Brandon Sanderson no me ha defraudado。

Standing atop a melted city overlooking a dessert oasis is Siwa， Egypt; watching the inundation of heavy summer rains rush through Krka， Croatia and getting to the end of stories written by Brandon Sanderson are some of the things that leave me with the expansive， satisfied feeling that the there are things in this world that are just exactly what they need to be。 And as I write this， I am struck by the poetry of how ruin and preservation play their parts in each。

An epic fantasy journey over 2000 pages。 A solid 3-star effort， of classic good vs evil， heros and villains， and magic， with the predictable but must-have of all fantasy epics， the alls-well-that ends-well ending。

Incredible series。 Added to my list of favorite for sure！These books are so well written I’m in awe。 It’s as thorough as JR Tolkien was in his creation of the world and as entertaining as an action movie。 You have to read this one！

Incredible world building， as always。 The writing style does feel slightly younger but the story and setting are phenomenal。 I've never known a male author to write a female character in such a wholistic way。 Incredible world building， as always。 The writing style does feel slightly younger but the story and setting are phenomenal。 I've never known a male author to write a female character in such a wholistic way。 。。。more

This was my second read-through of the Mistborn trilogy， which says something about how much I enjoyed the books。 This series reads on one hand like a 'regular' fantasy series， while at the same time incorporating a number of really cool and unique features and plot-twists。 The books aren't perfect， but they are riveting， fun and unique。 What I liked。。。- One very common element in fantasy epics is the amount of books generated by a writer in a single world。 Series with 7 or even more books are q This was my second read-through of the Mistborn trilogy， which says something about how much I enjoyed the books。 This series reads on one hand like a 'regular' fantasy series， while at the same time incorporating a number of really cool and unique features and plot-twists。 The books aren't perfect， but they are riveting， fun and unique。 What I liked。。。- One very common element in fantasy epics is the amount of books generated by a writer in a single world。 Series with 7 or even more books are quite common， and often， the books do tend to deteriorate in quality as they go along。 Or， for that matter， don't get finished at all。 Which is why I was happy to see that this story is neatly encapsulated in 3 books。 - Despite the fact that the story runs as a typical 'good guys have epic adventures with fate of the world in the balance' type story， the characters have a decent amount of depth to them， and each of them are charming in their own way。 Particularly Breeze and Allrianne were among my side-character favourites。 The main characters， Vin and Elend， were also well written and engaging characters。- The world-building in these books is quite unique and wonderful。 Despite the fact that the world these characters inhabit was fairly objectively a dismal place， it still lived and breathed and made me feel like I was there。 The magic-system is often referenced as unique， and the choice to use metals and alloys certainly is that。 I personally was not any more partial to it than to other magic systems。 The concept of consequences/physics was worked out well， though。- The story， running throughout the three books， was very well thought out。 Re-reading the books now for the second time， it was amazing to see the threads and little hints that were built in very early。 I recall being very impressed and surprised by the big reveal of what has really been going on as it is revealed towards the end。What I didn't like。。。- One of the things I liked less about these books was the descriptions surrounding military and warfare。 Though a fair amount of the books is spent on armies， sieges and attacks， I did feel a certain lack of knowledge on these topics which made these elements feel less realistic。- Sometimes， particularly in the later part of the trilogy， the magic-system （brilliant though it is） felt very overpowered。 On many occasions， the only reason the MC's didn't just storm past any and all obstacles on their path seemed to be 'morals， mmkay？' - Towards the end of the second book， a major plot-twist happens that I didn't like。 It completely took away the amazing and sometimes difficult dynamic between two characters， completely axing out a major cause for friction and self-doubt between them with effectively the snap of a finger。 It also led to more cases of the point above。Overall， it was a wonderful set of books to read， and I look forward to reading more of Brandon Sanderson's work。 。。。more

A grand series。 One about leaders， balance， change and love。 I had small problems with the first two books but by the third I was engulfed by the story ark and the writing style。 Highly recommend。

I absolutely loved this trilogy， from beginning to end。It has the most complex yet amazing magic systems I have ever seen in a fantasy novel。 The rules are clear and the powers are managed in a delicate way- one is never too powerful for the plot to get boring。 What's most fascinating is that there are actually three magic systems instead of one- Allomancy， Feruchemy， and Hemalurgy。 The characters' identities as Allomancers and Feruchemists and actually add to their personality and development （ I absolutely loved this trilogy， from beginning to end。It has the most complex yet amazing magic systems I have ever seen in a fantasy novel。 The rules are clear and the powers are managed in a delicate way- one is never too powerful for the plot to get boring。 What's most fascinating is that there are actually three magic systems instead of one- Allomancy， Feruchemy， and Hemalurgy。 The characters' identities as Allomancers and Feruchemists and actually add to their personality and development （in both good and evil ways）， unlike some poorly executed novels when the magic powers are either nothing or too much- it basically makes up the character itself。 A magic power in good fantasy is supposed to blend in and harmonize， not consume and certainly not become the character itself。 Brandon Sanderson managed this perfectly。 The character development is amazing and jaw-dropping， too。 I especially adored Vin's journey， how she became less frightened and jumpy as the plot goes on， how she learns from accidents and losses （Brandon Sanderson is certainly not afraid to give us that ）， and how she embraces her love- her desires， her inner self， and her eventual end all made me shake my head in awe。 She is， and will for ever be， one of my favorite heroines of all time。Most important thing is， the characters are real 。 They're not crazily fearless or lovestruck airheads， they're just like us。 Not heroes， but normal people with too many responsibilities dumped on them。 They fight， they cry， and they break。 There is nothing more beautiful to see。The world building as well at the plot itself is flawless。 Detailed but not boring at all。 Somehow everything told- every piece of information， every small detail- is necessary， and adds to the magnificent storyline， unlike some books which just continuously provide you with unnecessary details and info-dump。 Mistborn gives none of that- everything is on point。 I can see what the characters see， feel the warmth and smell the rain。 There are no inconsistencies and everything just makes perfect sense。 Their actions are never too emotional/dramatic nor do they act on logic alone。 The ending， too， is heartbreaking but beyond truthful。 It's what happens， you see。 It's the best that could happen。 There can never be a true happy ending。I'll wrap it here， because I just can't seem to put this trilogy's awesomeness into words properly。 But buy this。 Read this。 Dive into this immediately。 You will not be disappointed。 。。。more

Sanderson is an incredible author and his interconnected cosmere universe is truly an impressive creation with which he continues to impress。 Mistborn was the first series of his I read and as such will hold a special place in my favorites。 It's an excellent series and I can't wait for the next set。 Sanderson is an incredible author and his interconnected cosmere universe is truly an impressive creation with which he continues to impress。 Mistborn was the first series of his I read and as such will hold a special place in my favorites。 It's an excellent series and I can't wait for the next set。 。。。more

I loved this trilogy。 It has unique magic system based on metals。 If this is made into a Hollywood movie， people would go crazy。 Brandon Sanderson is a genius。 He set a standard in fantasy genre。 Other fantasy authors will find it very difficult to compete with this guy。 I would like to know if there is any fantasy author who has the potential to compete with Brandon Sanderson。

Mistborn trilogy was the first Brandon Sanderson's work I've read and I was actually surprised by how much I liked it。It's definitelly not my taste， it's too YAish to me， I didn't like most of the characters， I didn't enjoy the romance and I think these books could be cut in half - there was a lot of unnecessary fluff in them。 I'm also not the biggest fan of hard magic systems， but I don't mind them， when they are executed well and Mistborn's magic system might the best example of that。However， Mistborn trilogy was the first Brandon Sanderson's work I've read and I was actually surprised by how much I liked it。It's definitelly not my taste， it's too YAish to me， I didn't like most of the characters， I didn't enjoy the romance and I think these books could be cut in half - there was a lot of unnecessary fluff in them。 I'm also not the biggest fan of hard magic systems， but I don't mind them， when they are executed well and Mistborn's magic system might the best example of that。However， the plot and worldbuilding in this trilogy was interesting enough for me to keep reading and enjoying it。 And I have to say， endings of all three books are absolute killers。 I also find Sanderson's prose and overall writing style to be briliant。I would rate still series solid 7/10。 I liked it and I can see this being favorite fantasy series of some people， especially younger readers。 It's just not my taste。 。。。more

Excellent story but large portions were unnecessarily stretched as if to somehow ge a trilogy out of what would have been a great single。 I loved the story so 5 * for that。 But the conflicts were too drawn out and I found myself skipping bunches of pages at a stretch。 The fight sequences felt repetitive and monotonous。 Vin was irritatingly "gallant"。 I liked Elend， Sez and TanSoon。 Excellent story but large portions were unnecessarily stretched as if to somehow ge a trilogy out of what would have been a great single。 I loved the story so 5 * for that。 But the conflicts were too drawn out and I found myself skipping bunches of pages at a stretch。 The fight sequences felt repetitive and monotonous。 Vin was irritatingly "gallant"。 I liked Elend， Sez and TanSoon。 。。。more
