The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
4.0

A beautiful conclusion. I will say that the only reason it's not 5 stars is that at certain points, the small details dragged. I understand the idea of building suspense and clues so that when they arrive in the end, the bang is bigger. But I do think a it was a bit too drawn out at parts. However, everything finished just wonderfully. Elend and Vin's parts, and their end together. Vin's fight with Ruin as Preservation. Sazed's religious crisis coming to a head and allowing him to not only have faith but become the God he had searched for (and the use he put his religions to, to undo Rashek's mistakes...AMAZING!). What a twist on the "neutral" gender usage! Marsh's one moment of lucidity being enough, being everything it needed to be. And really, Spook. Period. His rise into himself, his mistakes and the fixing of them, and what Sazed did for him, made him whole again and he was the perfect person to wrap it all up and leave in charge. Just...I am amazed at how everything was able to come right, after all the destruction and "Ruin." Damn.
