The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It was ok. Some tropes turned around. Kind of frustrating how a lot of stuff just dragged out until the end. The identify of the Hero of Ages pretty much given away early on by the flavor text at the start of each chapter. I finished it in two sittings so that’s something View all my reviews

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I finished Well of Ascension only two days after finishing The Final Empire. I think I enjoyed it a bit less than the first book - mainly because there’s a lot of self-doubt here among the protagonists, a lot of paragraphs of “why am i doing this? I’m not good enough, etc”. The plot also takes longer to solidify.
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great book. The story’s pace was a bit slow at first as Sanderson was doing his excellent worldbuilding and introducing us to the magic system in his world (he’s good at that sort of thing!), but it picks up about a third of the way through. A lot of the plot twists and character developments are handled very well.
