Adon Coya's Reviews > Mistborn Trilogy: The Hero Of Ages, The Well Of Ascension And The Final Empire

It took me months to finish the first book; I really could not be interested enough in the totally 'cliched' scenario and plot! The second book was a bit better, and the third book was the best, twisting and re-twisting the plot, so that it surprised me to the very end.
Clearly though, the author aimed too high. The epic scope of the story is defeated by the shallow representation of characters, ethics, motivations and dialogue. It either should have been one book only, or nine; the author touches on many interesting issues but explores none in depth.
The overall feeling was of reading 'teenage' fantasy, e.g. Eragon and the like.
I wouldn't recommend one spends the, necessarily long, time to read it; there's so many, much better, books available. Wait until it's filmed: I think it's cut for a many-seasons tv-series perfectly...
