Synopsis: Vin fulfilled the prophecy and released the power gathered in the Well of Ascension. But it was all a trick, and now the godlike being Ruin has been unleashed on the world, bent on its destruction by earthquake and Fire.

Having escaped death only through becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will help them fight back. Legends speak of a hero, but were any prophecies not corrupted? To make up for being duped, Vin must unravel the truth so she can become the Hero of Ages before Ruin can wipe out all life on the planet.

My rating: ★★★★★

She'd called herself hero, and had released the enemy all the while thinking that she was sacrificing her own needs for the good of the world.

When I finished reading the last book, I said that I was not okay. Well, I'm doubly not okay after finishing this one.

My rating: ★★★★★

It had been a while since I last read an installment in this series, and I almost forgot how fun it was!

March 2026 TBR

I did it again. I finished my TBR, and this time I finished it ONE week before the end of the month! 😭 Which is crazy because it was a shorter month. Even crazier: I only had 6 books on my TBR but ended up reading TEN books overall in February! 😱
