Hero of Ages | 
pick"I am, unfortunately, the Hero of Ages"
This trilogy was amazing!! The magic system is unique. All of the characters' developments were so well done.
There are so many cool races of people, too!
The first half does drag a little with all of the political talk, but the second half is non-stop action. The ending was so perfect and heartbreaking.
I will definitely read more from this author in the future.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an excellent culmination of this series. And the ending of this book. Wow. I think I‘ll be thinking about it for a long time.
I enjoyed the whole journey - I read and listened to it, and Michael Kramer is an excellent narrator.
My husband finished it not long before I did, so the “oh and then Sanderson did this!” conversations have been plentiful.
I‘ll definitely be traveling more into his Cosmere!
pickA beautiful conclusion to an amazing trilogy! This is getting 4 stars from me because this is the only one out of the 3 that felt like it really dragged in the middle. But the ENDING.. ifykyk 😭
pickI enjoyed listening to the audiobook of this book!!! It seems like I connect with the characters more with this series, since listening to the books on audio. I am enjoying the characters and the plot so much. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars. This book is the third book I have completed for #JubilantJuly readathon hosted by @Andrew65
pickWow what an epic conclusion to a new favorite fantasy series. Though the first half is very slow moving political machinations, the second half is non stop action, Magic and drama. The ending is both heartbreaking and satisfying. I look forward to starting the second era trilogy! 4.5⭐️

pickThis is the final installment in the Mistborn trilogy. This book is epic in size and scope of story. It took me a long time to read, and I found myself losing a little interest in the middle. But the last third of the book is everything that people who loved the first two books have been looking for. This series was an incredible and original epic adventure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars
July probably wasn't one of my better months for reading but I was kind of in a slump so I'm proud of what i did accomplish. I think the highlights for me this month were Hero of Ages and Hiding in Plain Sight. Two very different books but both very worth the time it took to read them.
4 physical
1 audio

pickOkay so I was a little disappointed with the Well of Ascension but this one was truly back to the glory of the first. I loved how everything was built upon and the resolution came together nicely. There were some guessable twists and some that were still utterly surprising which I feel is the best because you get the little satisfactions of knowing and then the thrill of omg what just happened.

Managed to finish two books this week and enjoyed both for the most part.
#WeeklyForecast
My goal this week is to finish the tagged and make some headway into the chonky sea of stars.
I absolutely cannot. Yesterday it said my hold was estimated for six weeks so I started reading my physical copy and ended up reading all of part one. Now I have to decide if I want to finish in audio or not. The narrator is really good but I‘ll finish it faster if I eye read. Decisions are hard guys.
So I maybe picked this one up right away despite the fact that I was doing the series in audio because my hold for the audio is six weeks out and I can‘t wait to see what happens next.
Just finished what I thought was last in the Mistborn series, but it turns out it was only book 3 of 7 (not counting a short story and a novella). As everything Brandon Sanderson I've read, this book was great: a lot of action, magic, unexpected twists and turns, great characters (both good and bad) and quite a lot of emotional moments. Loved it!
@PuddleJumper - my #Roll100 February #2 pick!
The last day of December is tomorrow, guys. I can‘t believe it. Since I‘ll be doing my 2021 wrap up tomorrow let‘s get the December one out of the way.
I didn‘t read a lot of physical books this month. It‘s been so hectic, but I did listen to several audiobooks. And I found a new favorite book of all times. So, I would deem this a successful reading month.

pickGuys, I did it! I finally finished The Hero of Ages, and it was amazing! When I first started the Mistborn series I thought the political machinations were the main focus. But I was wrong. The second book hinted at the bigger picture, but The Hero of Ages takes that and runs with it. This book changed everything, and I loved it.

🎄It‘s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.🎄
I‘ve finally decorated my bookroom for Christmas. My tree my be a little large for my space, but it still makes me happy. I can‘t wait to curl up with some hot chocolate and a good book.

🎄I had so much fun making my December 2021 reading journal spread. I decided to go all out for the last month of the year. I broke out of my normal routine for this spread and I really love it. I used to like a very uniform, almost formulaic theme, but I think I‘m ready for something new. 🎄
Do you keep a reading journal?

I‘m not putting much on my December 2021 tbr. I want to mood read this month. Plus, we‘re probably going to be really busy. While I like setting goals, I know sometimes taking a step back is better than setting unattainable goals. So I hope to read these, and The Hero of Ages is my top priority. What are you reading this month?
Happy Labor Day, guys! How are we here already? This year has flown by. Today I started thinking about the books that I need to finish before 2022 and somehow I ended up with a list of Sanderson books. So here they are. What books do you need to finish before the end of the year?

pickA fantastic end to the series! It really showed the depth of the world created!
My August #WrapUp doesn't look to bad.
I didn't realise I reaf this much. It felt like I read very little outside of The Hero Of Ages
My favourite for this month was definitely The Hero Of Ages
I'm still not sure what I'm feeling towards Bunny.
And my least favourite was the 2 Graphic Novels.
I'm aiming to read 5 books in September.
pickVery good ending to this series. There honestly was no other way the author could end it. Is this how I wanted it to end? Definitely not, but he had no choice. Everything was wrapped up beautifully. (Also finished this ages ago and forgot to submit my review!) 7/10
1. I don't really know anyone far away, but I'd love to spend time with some book loving fellows overseas.
2. I'm thankful for an empathetic and understanding boss. She has been really supportive this week with my health issues.
#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon Thanks for the tag 🤗

Finally about to dive into this baby! 😍 I hope the end is as epic as the beginning was! 🙊
#FallFinds Day 8: Clearly, Fats has a preference for #fantasy novels as can be seen in her book haul. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hqo
pickIt‘s difficult to remain spoiler-free when reviewing the third novel in a trilogy, but suffice it to say that all of the loose ends got tied up neatly with a spiffy little bow. Details that I hadn‘t noticed in the previous books are masterfully put into play here and the commentary on the nature of faith spoke directly to my own experiences. It is rare for me to feel like I‘m on the same page with someone on that front and it was truly nice.
Why did they believe? Because they saw miracles. Things one man took as chance, a man of faith took as a sign. A loved one recovering from disease, a fortunate business deal, a chance meeting with a long lost friend. It wasn‘t the grand doctrines or sweeping ideals that seemed to make believers out of men. It was the simple magic in the world around them.
Sorry I haven‘t posted in a while I‘ve been stuck in my feels lately going through some stuff but here‘s a picture of Dumplin laying on my belly last night while I was reading.
Libraries are slowly reopening in my area and with that library sales are back. Yay!
Couldn't resist... 😁
Most I will drop in one of the #littlefreelibrary around but a couple are for me to add to my huge TBR pile.
pickAfter reading this I'm thinking Brandon Sanderson should go into politics. I've never read more wise fantasy book! 😁
Here is my book haul from yesterday. I was very excited to find the two Robin Hobb books in hard cover at $3 each. Score! The stacks just get bigger!💜📚💜🤣
I told myself I was going to be really productive and #audioclean while the kids were at daycare today... but it‘s way more fun to #audiocrochet
I‘m giving myself 20 minutes before I make myself get up and vacuum...
Train reading. 🚂🚃🚃🚃 Heading home after spending Christmas with my parents. Only three pages in and I'm already hooked. 🤓
pickAn excellent and satisfying ending to this trilogy! Solid internal consistency of the plot and world. I had a lot of fun experiencing this adventure of gritty, high fantasy.
Saturday night done right!!
I have been reading this book for months but getting to the last hundred pages and plan to finish it this weekend.
My favourite book series by far. 😍
pickWell, I finally did it. I made it through this epic trilogy! Sanderson's world-building is simply amazing. This final book is hard to read - it's the end of the world after all, and it's hard to know if they're going to make it, and if so, who. It wasn't the ending I wanted but it's a satisfying one.
pickBook 1 was a near perfect con-artists-plan-a-heist-to-save-the-world thrill ride.
Book 2 was a slow moving city-under-siege tale.
Book 3 was... jeez, it was a lot. Lots of discussions about benevolent authoritarianism and the forces of two warring gods (who maybe should have been introduced in this trilogy before now) battling it out while the world comes to an end.
I have no issues with the ending though. It was extreme, but fitting.
pickFinally finished the Mistborn trilogy! I felt a bit let down by book 2 so it took me longer to get around to reading book 3. But I'm glad I did resume the series. The Hero of Ages was quite a rewarding and satisfying read!
(Line pictured made me laugh. Me either, TenSoon!)
Yes, finally some time to return to the mists!
Slowly making my way through book number three in the Mistborn series. I love Brandon Sanderson's books but it takes me a while to get through them!
