What is the reading order of the Mistborn trilogy?

Answer 1

Technically it has grown to be more than a trilogy. The original trilogy is:

1. The Final Empire
2. The Well of Ascension
3. The Hero of Ages

But there is another 4 book series so far written 300 years after the original trilogy based on Wax and Wayne during a roughly industrial revolution era technologically.

1. The Alloy of Law
2. Shadows of Self
3. The Bands of Mourning
4. The Lost Metal (2018 or 2019).

There are also several short stories best read after finishing the original trilogy and probably books 1-3 of the Wax and Wayne series:

1. The Eleventh Metal
2. Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania
3. Mistborn: Secret History

After the Wax and Wayne series, Brandon Sanderson plans to write at least 2 more trilogies in the mistborn series. One that will take place in a modern era with modern technology, and one that will be more Science Fiction using allomancy and future technology and space travel. These books also tie into Brandon Sanderson's greater Cosmere. Which almost all his book take place in and loosely connects all his work.

Answer 2

The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson should be read in the following order: "Mistborn: The Final Empire," "Mistborn: The Well of Ascension," and "Mistborn: The Hero of Ages."

Answer 3

Mistborn: The Final Empire

Mistborn: The Well of Ascension

Mistborn: The Hero of Ages
