I’ve reached the end of Brandon Sanderson’s original Mistborn trilogy! I’d like to give you a nice, comprehensive review of The Hero of Ages, but I can’t really say much of anything about it that won’t spoil the first two installments. So here are some broad thoughts. It’s a five-star, rounded up from four and a half. It’s my least favorite of the trilogy, but man does it stick the ending! Unlike the perfectly paced first book, this one is probably 150 pages too long, similar to the second. There’s a bit too much navel-gazing in both of them. Will I continue into the second era of the series that’s set three hundred years in the future? Most likely sometime next year. Having finished the trilogy, who would I recommend it to? Hunger Games fans for sure, and anyone who is looking to dip their toes into fantasy that isn’t too dense in lore. I think I’m overdue to get back to my staple of quirky detectives and dead Brits, but I did enjoy Vin’s story. Five outta five stars.
