While still a great book, Hero of Ages didn't live up to my expectations established by the first two.
The story felt slow, very long, and drawn out. The answers to many of the trilogy long mysteries were well thought out, but I feel like we waited so long to get them and the pacing was so strange that they lost some of their wow factor. I feel like the book could have been 100 pages shorter.
The deaths that occur at this point didn't surprise me. I've gotten used to Sanderson being absolutely ruthless. I did feel that some of the characters lost their relatability. They changes so drastically in this book that I lost my connection to them.
It's far from the worst ending I've ever read, but I feel like it could have been more satisfying.
