The Hero of Ages (Cosmere Universe) (Mistborn, #3)

by Brandon Sanderson

Now that's a way to wrap things up neatly.

Neat character arcs. Lots of action. Sazed's repetitive contemplation sits in stark contrast to the pacing of the other characters, but the depiction of his depression and the payoff of it all is glorious.

I'm not a fan of Sanderson's prose, so I'm hesitant to pick up the other books in this universe. Even after the tantalizing setup at the end of this book.

PS: I still think Book 2 was largely pointless. So much could have been written on the psyche of the skaa and the nobility after 1000 years of stability and oppression, and the political questions that arise after that event. Playing out those questions only in Elend's head - punctuated by declarations from Tindwyl - made it terrible. The sparseness of Book 2 made for a tight Book 3 though, and I'm thankful for these small mercies.
