Mistborn and Green Thoughts
Rob's Blog o' Stuff — This month’s selection in the SFFWorld Fantasy Book Club is Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire. I read and reviewed it, as well as the second volume, Mistborn: Well of Ascension last year. I really enjoyed both of those novels and I’m finding the final volume, The Hero of Ages, just as good and maybe better. Certain writers work in certain ways for people and when I started The Hero of Ages, there was that spark of excitement for me. ...

The Hero of Ages & Body of Lies
Rob's Blog o' Stuff — ... I posted my review of Brandon Sanderson’s final Mitborn novel, The Hero of Ages, last night. I really enjoyed the whole series and think it is one of the better completed series I've read. Like Greg Keyes, Sanderson had a plan for a set amount of books, stayed to that set amount and managed to pull off an incredibly well-told tale. Here’s more from my review: Brandon Sanderson brings his Mistborn saga to a close (for now) in The Hero of Ages, wherein mists are now seemingly destroying the world and two ...
