5/5 - Full review at emileereads: http://emileereads.com/blog/2017/6/25... 
 The Hero of Ages ended up being my favorite installment of the Mistborn series, with the first one not far behind. Even though it was long, I thought the pacing of this one was much better than its predecessor. 
 The best thing about this novel was how Sanderson brought so many little details together. All of my questions from the first two books were answered, especially about Feruchemy. I have the highest respect for Sanderson's writing process, he leaves no stone unturned - there was a reason for how many men died in the mists, every small bit of metal had a purpose, and the prophecy of the Hero fit the story exactly as it should. 
 My favorite chapters were the TenSoon chapters. I loved him so much in the previous novel, and the kandra's way of life was one of the more interesting things to learn about. The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the repetition. There were several "Okay, I get it already!!" moments, mostly to do with Sazed and his loss of faith after the events of The Well of Ascension. 
 The Hero of Ages was an easy 5 stars for me. Mistborn was a great introduction to Sanderson and I cannot wait to read the rest of his work!
