elzbethmrgn 's review for:

The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
3.0

Noo I lost my whole review. Fuck it.

Welp, the last quarter of this book fucking rocked, but I don't know if that makes up for the boring rest of it (and I actually enjoyed [b:The Well of Ascension|12968706|The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, #2)|Brandon Sanderson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335809883s/12968706.jpg|2120474]). I didn't care about Vin, or Eland, or anyone much apart from Sazed and TenSoon.
And all TenSoon really gets to do is take Sazed to the Kandra and then get himself killed?!
The stuff with Ruin felt all a bit Buffy season 7 with the First Evil appearing to everyone as dead people.

Was this crappyness intentional to make the parts of the end less dramatic?
Because I really gave no shits about Vin/Preservation and Elend's death
.

But, some parts were awesome. The parts where none of the amazing worldbuilding and plot stuff were really obvious until the last
(the mist, 16, Vin's earring)
was fantastic.

And, obviously, Fuck Yes Sazed. He pwned the whole trilogy. I literally fistpumped. And then cried.
