To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness--the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists--is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed unless Emperor Elend Venture can find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world.

Elbette buraya yazacağım her şey benim fikrim, herhangi bir şeyin ne olduğunu değil ama benim onu nasıl algıladığımı aktarmak amacım. Bunun üstüne bir de yorgun bir zihin eklenince ben senin yerinde olsaydım bu incelemeyi okumazdım.

Yazarın pek de bir yol kat edemediğini görüyorum. En en genel hatlarıyla baktığımızda, kitap son dörtlüğe girerken biraz yardırma ve mevzuları bir an önce toparlayıp kapatma eğiliminde, zira o noktaya gelene dek görece verimsizce bir "neden-sonuç dizgesi" hazırlamaya uğraşıyor.

Karakterlerin hepsi random number generator ile, random table üzerinden üretilmiş gibi hissettiriyor, bir bağlam ya da entegrelik pek yok. Mevzunun bütünü de öyle zira. Ana bir fikri alıp onu "çeşitlendirmek" için bir takım rastgele ve saçma şeyler sağa sola savrulmuş, karakterler bunlar arasında ilerlerken yer yer doğaüstü aptallık, yer yer doğaüstü zeka örnekleri gösteriyor ve her şey nasıl oluyorsa tatlıya bağlanıyor. Diyar pek "inandırıcı" hissettirmiyor. Herkes "iyi adam" lafına takmış durumda, mevzular hep aynı düzlemde dönüp …

Review of 'The Hero of Ages' on 'Goodreads'

A full range of emotional conclusion to an amazingly unique story. I wish I could but it into words how great and attentioned to detail everything was, all finally wrapped up and explained in such a great way. This is my introduction into the cosmere universe and new reading addiction, I think.

Review of 'The Hero of Ages' on 'Goodreads'

This was a very satisfying series. From start to finish the characters were interesting, with real struggles, and real flaws. The things you learn about each metal, their origins, and more is-again-very satisfying.

I'm definitely going to pick up the 2 new books (new time period) to continue the exploration of the this world and its crazy tools of burning metals. I enjoyed it!

Review of 'The Hero of Ages' on 'Goodreads'

Well, call me flabbergasted, but this final Mistborn book makes up for all shortcomings of the previous one, and catapults the series from 'good fantasy with interesting new magic system' to 'whopping epic fantasy' status. Brandon Sanderson painted a broad picture, with two books that are all entertaining prep-work to an amazing conclusion. Throughout, I was vaguely reminded of Melanie Rawn's Sunrunner books.

The Hero of Ages has none of the shortcomings I felt Well of Ascension had. From the beginning it was paced just right. The pre-chapter flavor texts by the then unknown Hero of Ages tossing us snippets of background info just want to keep you reading on and on.

I also appreciated that this book brought some growth to characters that had been there since the first book but never got much attention, like Spook. I think maybe I liked his story in Urteaux the best from …
