A review by readingadventures
The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
When I finished The Well of Ascension I firmly doubted there was a way in which Brandon Sanderson could surpass the epicness he had created and- not for the first time- I was wrong. I started reading this book with the presumption that I would love it and in some ways I was right I do love it, and will probably love this book and this trilogy forever, Which is why you should read this before the world ends and you have no chance . The truth is this book was gorgeously executed with an ending that was fitting and bittersweet. I AM WRECKED BY THAT ENDING.... I NEED ELEND AND VIN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE CRIED!!! However, there is this part of me that will forever be bitter because grand part of the events that made this trilogy so epic to read, also made me want to throw myself out the window to end the suffering.
Of all the thing that I'll miss about this trilogy the characters are at the top of the list. I loved, understood and/or wanted to understand every. single. one of them and I'm really going to miss them all, I grew to love them all so much and I'm so incredibly sad that their stories are over, they stand out as one of them most diverse and lovable group of characters I've ever encountered. The world and the storytelling all along the trilogy was so different from anything I've ever experienced before, it was another level of awesomeness too complicated and beautiful to taint it with my unworthy words so just do yourself a favor and read Mistborn so you can experience it for yourself... thank me later.
I won't lie I am truly wrecked by what happened in this book and it probably doesn't help that I'm making this "review" the moment I finished reading but there is something so beautiful about the way word have the power to make us fill emotional and I felt like there was no better way to do this than by the emotional impulse that came to me the moment I finished this series. I'm still baffled by the power a great story and beautifully crafted characters have over me.
If you plan to read this and you happen to come upon this blabbering post then you should know this trilogy will make you feel all the feeling and it will hurt you but is worth it... so very worth it.
Beware of Tears
I am so very sad... SO SO SAD I don't think I ever actually cried, real tears, by any other book before. This book is going to give me the biggest book hangover of my life!!! and I have exams coming up!!! HOW WILL I EVER PUT MYSELF TOGETHER!!! I NEED HELP I'M DROWNING IN MY OWN TEARS!!
I cried twice during the re-read. I somehow did not expect that to happen.
