Losing the mojo? - By: J. Stupart, 06 Jan 2009 
I first discovered Brandon Sanderson on hearing he'd been asked to complete Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.
I was originally highly encouraged by the firstin the Mistborn series, but I have to admit to being bored by the time I picked up this book. Yes, Mr Sanderson is doing something very different here - as the premise for the series is that the hero (or heroinein this case) doesn't win; but it lacked something. It just didn't grab me the way the first one did.
That said, it's worth reading if you've picked up either (or both) of the first 2in the series.
I'm more apprehensive now but at the same time still intrigued to see what he does with A Memory of Light.
Better and better - By: L. L. M. Almenningen, 06 Nov 2008 
Cover:
"Who is the Hero of Ages? To end the Final Empire & restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness - the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists - is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls & ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed.
Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, & its near omniscience & ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. Vin can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!"
Brandon Sanderson's books just get better & better. This is the best of the trilogy. The ending, while surprising, falls into place without jarring my sense of justice being done to the characters. Brandon has become one of my favorite writers. His plots are refreshing. Sometimes I feel as though I'm re-reading old books when a new writer comes along, but this is not the case with Brandon. He manages to bring new life into the world of fantasy, while at the same time exploring the age-old topicsin the genre.
I am SO looking forward to his interpretation of Robert Jordan's last book. No longer worried!
