I really like the way Mr. Sanderson wrapped up his Mistborn series. He draws together a lot of loos threads; and for once, the loose threads that he intentionally leaves hanging do not bother me that much. They are not the kind of jangling bits of plot line that inherently shout SEQUEL, which I so hate. Although the 15th and 16th metals are huge open doors....
I again appreciated the running journal entries that preceded each chapter; they added depth and extra back-story. There were some really interesting developments in this last book, and it shows that Brandon had time to think about and mature his story. And I felt that he did an excellent job at it.
It would be sorta kinda interesting to read more about Mistborn, but I fear that it would get ground into the earth, like how Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series just killed itself by too many sequels, or the Edding's Belgarath series which got to be a bit too repetitive. I am glad Sanderson stopped here - great books.
