Amazing

Brandon Sanderson writes amazing fantasy that is both intricate and accessible. Hero of Ages is a great follow up to “The Final Empire” as the crew try to establish what their world is like after the events of “the Final Empire”. Every fantasy fan should read The Mistborn Series

Fantasy Novel of the Ages

This was an excellent read. I loved the audible performance as well. This kept me going on cardio machines for about a month as I saved this treat of a novel as a reward only when I was working out.

Addictive

Loved this series! Awesome, well-rounded characters with great histories. The story was original and had continuous plot twists that were totally unexpected. I will definitely be listening to the whole series again.

Dat good 👌 fantasy shit.

Generic fantasy type good vs evil stuff, but some really good twists. Not a fan of the main male protagonist getting so much screen time versus the imo better female protag, but you can't have everything.

Absolutely spectacular!

I must admit that I haven't really read (listened to?) any books in several years. When I found out about audible and that I could listen to books on my long commute to work, I thought it was time to delve into fantasy again. After listening to Mistborn: The Final Empire, I was absolutely shocked by how brilliantly Brandon Sanderson's world was created. The characters are lovable, the odds impossible, the story of oppression all too familiar... I couldn't put it down. After I read the Well of Ascension and saw the story and relationships further developed, I knew that I had found one of my new favourite authors. The Hero of Ages is truly a culmination of the trilogy with many unexpected twists and turns. The ending is absolutely beautiful and had me in tears. Brandon does a great job of wrapping up many unanswered questions left from the other novels while still leaving us with a few questions left to ask. I will definitely continue reading the works of this outstanding author. Highly recommend for any fans of "high" fantasy.
