“I am, unfortunately, the Hero of Ages.”

The Hero of Ages (Mistborn, #3) by Brandon Sanderson

October 26, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

Still a great ending to this series. This was one of the best endings to a book series I’d ever read back in 2013, and it’s still in that category eight years later. It’s an ending that is so good it single handedly elevates everything that came before it, which was already pretty damn good to start with. It’s one of those endings that makes so much sense in retrospect but is almost impossible to predict. Sanderson expertly sets your expectations throughout the whole trilogy […]

“I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted.”

The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, #2) by Brandon Sanderson

September 16, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

Well, I was hoping I would like this more this time, knowing how it ended, but it was about the same experience for me. A bit sloggy up until the last third of it, at which point it really picked up. I know what he was going for here, turning a tired fantasy premise on its head like he did with the first one*, but the nature of that premise and the world and characters he built for himself just made it not a very […]

A re-read before Rhythm of War.

Oathbringer (The Stormlight Archive, #3) by Brandon Sanderson

December 29, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

Honestly not sure what I’m about to type, because I don’t want to do a full review. I hadn’t re-read this book since it first came out and I knew I barely remembered it, and even the detailed summaries over on the Coppermind wouldn’t be good enough for to prep for book four. It really helped me when this book came out in 2017 that I had books one and two fresh in my mind from a recent re-read, so I got the audiobook from […]

I can’t emphasize enough how good this book and this series are.

So I deleted my original review of this book on Goodreads (but not on CBR) because I’ve never been happy with it. I never felt like it fully conveyed what I was trying to say. Heck, I’m not sure I even knew what it was that I wanted to say! I remember thinking this book was so dense and a little impenetrable, and now upon my first re-read, I’ve got none of that. This time around, I sunk right into this world like it was […]
