As I did with my reviews for Save Me and Save You, let me preface this by saying I have not watched the television series on Amazon Prime and went into these completely blind. It’s my understanding that the first season of the show roughly follows the first book. This is the final book in the trilogy.

This was a highly anticipated read for 2025, and somehow I let an overwhelming number of ARCs (advance reader copies) get in the way of me finishing a beloved series. I started to buddy read it over the summer and then kept pausing as priorities shifted. I’ll be honest, I probably also put it off because I just didn’t want it to end. I finally made time to enter Emily’s world one more time and I’m so glad I did. My first read of this trilogy was in print, although I reread books 1 and 2 as audiobooks before diving into this one. As I read this with my eyeballs, I couldn’t help but continue to “hear” the excellent narration of Encyclopaedia and Map and I think a reread to actually hear it all over will be in order shortly.

As I did with my review for Save Me, let me preface this by saying, I have not watched the television series on Amazon Prime and went into this completely blind. It’s my understanding that the first season of the show roughly follows the first book. This is book two in the trilogy and after the cliffhanger of Save Me’s ending, I was ready for it!

I ate this up. It was most definitely a teen drama with all kinds of eye-rolling moments. It was angsty and a bit toxic. I hated the ending. The author even apologizes for it in her acknowledgements—not enough, Mona Kasten. These characters better get redemption! It’s a good thing I have book 2 on deck.

This was a great finish to the Mistborn trilogy. I put off reading it for a while because Sanderson books take me so long to read.

I think I liked this book even more than the first one, but here's the deal. I love the characters and this world, but I don't reach for the book. I'm not sure if it's a pacing thing, or just a "me" thing, but I feel like I read so long only to make very little progress. My experience was the same with The Final Empire.
