Return to Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its conclusion.

Final (?) Mistborn

No rating

Better than the second, the third and final Mistborn era 2 book returns to deliver a mostly thrilling mystery, but lacks a proper ending. The resolution relies hard on deus-ex-machina (sometimes quite literally) characters from other Cosmere books in what is probably meant as a tie-in, but feels more like a washing out of what used to be core Mistborn (the series, not the magic users) characteristics. The big twist was foreshadowed, but I still looked forward to the reveal. Although I would liked it too be more towards the middle of the book too leave some room to play with the implications, it sadly marked the rather unsatisfying end. Not the best, not the worst from Sanderson. I'll still continue right with the next....
