*CAUTION – SMALL SPOILER ALERT*
Well, I’m glad this is the last book review. I’ve had a gut full!
The Hero of Ages is a satisfying conclusion to one of the best book trilogies ever. The story begins one year after the events of The Well of Ascension.

The magic metal that Elend ate at the end of The Well of Ascension saved Elend’s life by turning him into a Mistborn. With only one year of experience, Elend attempts to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler in the form of caverns with large supplies of food, acting as bunkers. Every bunker, starting with the Well of Ascension, had a map showing where the next one is. Each bunker had a specialty; weapons, clothes, crops, etc. The Lord Ruler built these bunkers specially for when Ruin was released. Ruin wants to end the world , and stopping it seems impossible. He is the power of destruction, a force whose ultimate goal is to destroy the world. He hasn’t gained his full power yet because he needs to find his ‘body’ whereas he only has his mind. He secretly manipulates and effects people to do what he wants. He can hear anything anyone says so plotting against him is nearly impossible. Ruin’s opposite God was called preservation. Preservation needed ruin’s help to create humans, so ruin agreed to help them but only if preservation agreed for him to be allowed to destroy it one day. Preservation caged ruin in the Well of Ascension to stop him from ever destroying the world. By doing so, preservation sacrificed the last of its mind and released its body as the mists that spread across the world at night.

Vin is overcome with grief for being tricked into releasing ruin at the Well of Ascension and tries to do everything she can to destroy the destruction God. Later in the book, Vin becomes one with the mists and becomes preservation. She fights against ruin but can’t beat it, their forces are of equal power. She watches helplessly as Elend fights an all out war, with the power of Atium, against the massive army of Koloss that ruin has rounded up. When ruin makes a Koloss kill Elend, Vin loses it and pushes as hard as she can against ruin. Since she is human and humans are part destruction, she successfully send ruin into the abyss. He drags her in as he falls and the bodies of Vin and ruin fall from the sky. Dead. Saved finds the two bodies and reaches into the smoke coming from both of them with either of his hands. He absorbs both ruin and preservation’s godly powers and becomes an allmighty God. He makes spook a Mistborn and sends him books of what was in his metal minds and a book on all the events that happened throughout the series.

And this, my blog readers, is where I finish my Mistborn trilogy book review. I am a big fan of these books and I am on the look out for others written by Brandon Sanderson. Thank you for reading my entire book trilogy review and I’ll see you at the next blog post.
