So Fun. Each book was fun and exciting. Great twists and turns. Fantastic ride.

A must-read for all fantasy fans. I’ve read a dozen or so fantasy series, this is my favorite when it comes to completed series. Sanderson and his team are on point. Keep up the good work!

Gripping. Purchasing all the entire Mistborn Trilogy in one purchase may appear daunting but you'll find yourself flipping through huge chunks of pages in no time at all. Once again Brian Sanderson delivers with an epic science fiction work that mixes excellent character development along with just the right amount of fantasy. Keep an eye out for this author who will soon have the attention of more than just fantasy readers.

A pager turner. If you get this book, be prepared for it to monopolize your free time. I could not put the book down; incredible complex characters, rich imagery, multiple plots, and an eclectic cultural background borrowing from a variety of religious themes and from old European histories. And yet, all is described within a magical mythology with a pseudoscientific touch. LR

Amazing read.. Could not put it down.

Wonderful!. This book is a fantastic read! I was not able to put it down. The characters are beautifully written, and the magic feels extremely real. I didn't want book 3 to be the end!

Best Fantasy Trilogy. This was an amazing ride. I was sad for it to end. The forethought and planning was extensive. So much wrk had to be done before a page was written. Creating a new magic set, fantastic. Creating a world in planned chaos, brilliant. Buy it, read it, and make coffee as you will barely sleep for a week.

Wow!. Just finished reading the trilogy. These has got to be one of the greatest books I've ever read. Amazing, engrossing and a unique take on the fantasy genre. I am saddened to see it end, but it wraps up nicely and leaves an impression in you that will always remain.

How could someone give this one star?. I don’t see how someone could give this one star. Either they didn’t read it, or are making a bad joke, because from the characters, to the plot, to the interesting magic system, these books are some of the best I’ve ever read, and I read them for hours at a time, because I just couldn’t stop! For anyone who even remotely likes fantasy genre, READ THESE BOOKS!!! 5.5/5 stars

Amazing. Just have to fall in live with the characters. Great stuff.

Energetic and original!. Great, easy read!

Great series. Great characters, interesting world, lots of intrigue and the twists keep coming. Sanderson is a genius with upping the stakes with every page.

Mistborn trilogy. The book was a little on the slow side. It was an interesting concept as far as the characters and the situations they were in but there just was no spark that kept my interest. It was a book I could easily put down. I cannot explain why. I would be hesitant to recommend this to anyone else.

Loved it!!. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BRANDON SANDERSON BOOK TO COME OUT!! HE’S AN ABSOLUTE WONDER WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEPTH OF EACH THEME AND CHARACTER!! A MUST BUY!!!

Great Books. I was looking for a good sci-fi/fantasy series after the Eragon series by Paolini, and this looked good. I wasn't disappointed! The characters are complex and intriguing, and continue to develop through the whole series. I downloaded the whole Mistborn series on my iPad and read every night. I flew through the chapters, only stopping when my eyelids were closing. I absolutely LOVED this series! I had not heard of Brandon Saunderson before, but now plan on reading the rest of his books. My favorite new author, who I will tell all my "reading" friends about. Get this series now and enjoy a fantastic series in a scientific, fantasy-filled world! Get it now!

Amazing. I read the Wheel of Time series and was thrilled with how well Brandon Sanderson did to finish the series. This is my first bit of his books, but definitely won’t be my last! Love it! Great introduction into his work!

Fantastic ending and more. An excellent trilogy, made even better by the fact that this story intentionally shares elements with other Sanderson works in the Cosmere, a universe construct that has the fascinating potential to become an EPIC combination of seemingly stand-alone worlds and characters. The prospect of the Mistborn series potentially intersecting with the Stormlight or Elantris storylines is exciting to say the least. That concept on its own is reason enough to become a permanent Sanderson fan. But the plot twists throughout the Mistborn trilogy, coupled with a thoroughly satisfying and unique ending is what will keep me reading. My rating of 4/5 stars for the entire trilogy is because the second book feels like simply Part 1 of the third book. There is a lot of exposition in the second and third books that, while necessary, interrupts the smooth pace of the story and makes you want to skip ahead. But turning seemingly unrelated or minor elements from all three books into linchpins for the culmination of the story and the very world itself was brilliant. You won't be able to guess how this trilogy ends, and be very happy that you couldn't. Which raises the question: can Sanderson pull this trick off for the entire Cosmere? Can't wait to find out!

Mistborn Trilogy. The characters fly off the pages. Sanderson has such control of Mistborn world that the reader is drawn in and held in place from the first page to the last. This is an amazing trilogy.

Beautifully executed.. I absolutely love this trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, and it is the reason he was chosen to finish Robert Jordan's work. The world is new, the magic fascinating and tasteful, and the characters are wonderfully flawed. While the Well of Ascension probably merits four stars at best, it does an impeccable job of setting up for The Hero of Ages and its stunning end. Bravo to Brandon Sanderson, and sci-fi lovers will become hungry for more after they're done.

Read it. Having read Sanderson's work on the Wheel of Time, we gave this a shot. He did not disappoint. Good world building, and a well planned story with characters you can actually care about.

Mistborn trilogy. Incredible!! Unbelievable!! A must read for anyone who loves fantasy. Deep, encompassing and nail-biting-keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat-can't-sleep-till-I'm-done thrilling. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed this one. Thank you very much, Mr. Sanderson!! It's good to know there are still authors out there who are as original and as imaginative as Tolkin. I tip my hat.

Great Trilogy. This was a great read; I can't say enough good things about this series. I haven't spent this much time reading in a long time and I'm sad I'm through.

Mistborn Trilogy. Awesome. This had everything you could ask for in an epic. Magic, life's struggles, hopes, dreams, love, laughter and tears. It was long but never felt long. Now that I have finished it I am kind of sad but I absolutely LOVED every moment and especially the ending.

Inartfully written video-game script for teens. I simply gave up on this poorly written book. The characters are one dimensional. The conversations, although they advance the plot, seem silly and unreal. I cannot understand the high ratings.

Fantastic. Rekindled my love of fantasy novels. The story and the characters are so well written you can't help but feel apart of it. Have not read anything close to this good since Tolkein.

Must read!. This book is awesome! The depth of the characters and the complexity of the plot is amazing! My new favorite series. I love that it is si-fi with believable explanations, he author does an incredible job creating a world you and believe. And any questions that come up in your reading are answered as you read. I could go on forever. So I'll just finish saying this book is GREAT!

Absolutely incredible. Every reader needs to experience this series at least once. The thrills are fantastic. Just buy it and start, couldn't recommend enough

AC. This trilogy was sick! Can't wait to read The Alloy of Law

Best Book I've "READ" in .... A Very Long Time. i am an Audio book guy. at work, on the go, you know, However, i decided to try my hand at reading for once. i am an immensely Huge fan of " the Wheel of Time " series, and am intensely impatient for the conclusion. after listening to Gathering Storm, i decided to check out Brandon's other work. The Mistborn Trilogy Cover Caught my eye, plus the idea that i could keep reading without interruption because it was the complete set. from the Very first paragraph, my wife could attest, i could not put the phone down. luckily i am the boss, so at work i would sneak a read, every chance i could find. i also admit i actually ignored my wife for the month it took me to finish the complete trilogy. Yes, a month, for me that is by far the fastest read EVER, for a novel, and i read three in that month. Excellent character development, great attention to detail, emotion, action, drama, Everything was great. I haven't become so completely part of another world since, well, i put down Wheel of time. i am thoroughly excited to read more of Brandon's work and, of course, someday finish the epic tale of Time, But aren't we all.

Eyedropping…. My eyeballs fell out… such a good book

Great trilogy. Loved it

Must read. Best trilogy ever!!

Good Read. I enjoyed the story with it's unique play on magic. Highly recommend it.

Pure brilliance.. This is the book that introduced me to hard magic systems. Just finished reading it for the second time, and still love it to death. Great characters, the most satisfying fight scenes I’ve ever read utilizing such a simple yet complex power system. Just pure brilliance.

Great imagination - why is this series not a movie yet!. Very well written, extremely imaginative, and surprisingly original series for the genre. I enjoyed all three books!

Best. This is one of the best books I've ever read.

A true gem. I started out with Brandon Sanderson's "Alcatraz vs." series and thought that he was an excellent writer. So I wanted to read other books of his. I read the plot and I was hooked. This is the reason why I love fantasy. Mysterious powers, an overpowering empire all add to the fantasy aspect. But he adds many new twists. "What if the hero dies?" is one of them. Overall the best story I've EVER read.

Immersive & Beautiful. Sanderson at this best!

Too good. I love reading great series like this one, it was a complete joy and constant satisfaction throughout. Vin is my hero.

My favourite novel. This trilogy was my introduction to Sanderson. I first read these three in 2017. I was glued, finished the trilogy in its entirety in a week. I’ve read the following trilogy as well as other Sanderson books and while those are good this is his best. I’ve come back to it and read it three times since 2017. I’m about to start reading it again cause I love it so much. Why do I love it? The characters have so much nuance. At times you think to yourself “the good guys are doing ‘good’ things but with bad motives” and “the bad guy is honestly just trying his best.” There’s also rich descriptions without being distracting from the storyline, the perfect in between that makes you able to imagine exactly what the author is while still being totally engrossed in the story. Sanderson’s use of religion is fascinating. Before thinking that’s a red flag (atheists, non-theists), it doesn’t advocate any existing religions. He makes up some religions and weaves them into the story in very interesting ways. His character building is on point. I’m not typically one to get emotionally attached to fictional characters, but I cried when bad things happened to Vin and was genuinely excited for her when certain things happened (not gonna spoil anything).

Mistborn Trilogy. I read the entire series straight through. The story was engaging as they were and thought provoking. I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes to "read outside the box".

Amazing!. I loved this trilogy. It was the first Brandon Sanderson work I’ve read and I will definitely be buying more.

Mistborn trilogy. Amazing story, great characters, and very well written. A must read if you love fantasy!

Great book. I love Sanderson this is an excellent fantasy book series

Great ending, not always a great journey. —-Minor Spoilers —- I found it hard to warm up to the characters in this book, especially Vin. I ended up liking her more towards the end of Book 3, but I did not find her very believable (e.g. how quickly she changes from feelings of worthlessness and trusting nobody to the exact opposite.) The books also offer very little of a buildup between her and Elend (who also undergoes very rapid and abrupt changes). The many characters (too many, or maybe not fletched out enough) often felt flat, and other than Sazed and maybe “OreSeur” I didn’t really feel I connected with any of them. The whole system of Allomancy felt gimmicky to me at times. Simply put and for lack of better words, I didn’t think it as “cool” as the book maybe wants to convey. It didn’t bother me either and it worked well tied into the bigger picture, but I didn’t buy the one dimensional bad a**ery Vin was supposed to portray. However, I thought the Inquisitors, Terrismen, the Lord Ruler, Feruchemists, among other things, helped create a very interesting world and the third book finished with a completely unexpected and “awesome” ending. I did not see it coming, I never read a series and was so moved by an ending. I think the ending makes the difference between 3 and 4 stars in this case. Unlike Stormlight, I don’t get the praise. Mistborn is still a good read I’d recommend to Fantasy fans, even though I’m personally not planning on reading the newer entries at this point.

Great Fantasy Read. Get lost in this great fantasy trilogy. Great read!!

Unique, believable and awesome lore.. Amazing trilogy from beginning to end.

My name’s Marsh. Call me Ironeyes. How did he do it? It’s so good!

All the ingredients of a Masterpiece. Fascinating universe, complex scenario, and mind-boggling magic! However what makes this trilogy a masterpiece is a profound understanding of humanity's passions and emotions. Characters are amazing, they enable the reader to explore a passionate universe where nothing turns out to be simple and straightforward. This book confirms that Sanderson story-telling capacity is one of the best of his generation.

Do not buy this Trilogy. Buy the books, just not this set. The individual books are $8.99 each. The three books would cost $26.97. This set costs $28.99. (Prices subject to change.) Save yourself some money and buy the individual books.

Mist trilogy. Fantastic piece of work!...if you can read through the dark emotional turmoil and finish the book you will have realized that you have just been entertained by a master.
