camilliant 's review for:

The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

While rereading this book I thought I was going to give it a 4 or 4.5... There are some occasional flaws you have to overlook, like repetitive prose or choppy dialogue or vocabulary that shouldn't exist (like "battery" in a world without electronics).

But the ending. 😭 One of the best conclusions in fantasy, period. The worldbuilding seems so complex and over your head until it all comes together and it's so beautiful and shocking and shocking and beautiful. I cannot fault the mind that put all this together and made it so uplifting and transcendent. 

So 5 stars it is. Taking this book to get signed by Brandon tomorrow. ❤️
