Mistborn: The Final Empire

I loved this book, but i am not entirely sure if the final fight was as believable as it could have been. I'll explain more below with spoilers (and plenty of warning). I loved the magic system, i loved the writing, i loved the characters and the world. I loved this book, though it isn't as good as the second one. Everything else made sense, everything else was amazing, but there's just one little thing that i didn't love that wasn't foreshadowed well (if at all) and that made the final fight bring me out of an otherwise 100/100 amazing ending for me.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

I love that Marsh turned on the Lord Ruler, I love that Vin went and confronted the Lord Ruler, I love that Elend became the King by preaching peace to an angry mob of oppressed slaves after a 1000 year rule.

I did not love how Vin magically breaks every law of Allomancy in the most unforshadowed way. There is zero precedent for Vin being able to pull metals that pierce someone's body, zero precedent for burning mists instead of metals, and zero reason other than “if the Lord Ruler (who's using Ferumchemy AND Allomancy) can do it, so must I be able to... if i just try hard enough.” I don't know, didn't sit right with me. I loved everything else about this book, and i still give it 95/100, 9.5/10, whatever, but that minor detail killed an otherwise perfect ending and made me love the second book so much more.
