Unlike some of the earlier posters, I enjoyed the third book in the trilogy at least as much - if not more - than the first two.
There are very detailed explanations of the "magic system", yes, but for me, this enhances the book, rather than being detrimental to the story.
I can't wait for the next book in the series. Already pre-ordered at Amazon!

If you like very descriptive fantasy, you might find
Perdido Street Station by China Miéville interesting. Be for-warned though, the author refers to his own work as "weird fiction." I've never read anything quite like it. And you won't have the same fuzzy warm feeling, when you finish the book, like you had with
mistborn. But you will have pictures of an incredibly detailed world imprinted in your memory.
