"To end the Final Empire and 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 and 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, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. Vin can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!" -- Goodreads blurb

I'll repeat that I'm glad I read Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series before this series, because I'm not sure I would have gone on to read any more of his work. While I enjoyed this third in the series, it continues to be slow. Side characters turned more into main characters, bad guys (or bad inanimate objects?) become badder, and the "age" of the story wraps up well. There are 3+ more books in this series, but they come after a massive time jump with different characters, but in the same world. I'm going to take a break before picking those up. Still a huge Sanderson fan and always will be.
