Hero of Ages, job well done
« on: October 11, 2008, 05:10:50 PM »
SO i work at barnes and noble and preordered this book months ago(of course) and we just so happened to get them in yesterday morning(friday) so naturally i bought it and read the hell out of it.  No spoilers here, just wanted to tell Brandon Sanderson excellent job, you are an amazing and original author and i absolutely loved the Mistborn trilogy (Elantris was awesome too!!)  And to all the fans this was definitely worth the wait.

Yeah! I just finished it. Though i refuse discuss the contents of the book until "The Crew" (as i have come to see us--in a way we are like Kel's crew...discussing the issues lighheartedly despite the intensity of sitting and waiting...lol)

Good job elmandr1. You must be a speed reader to finish the rest of the book in 20 minutes.

Caught red handed.  It sort-of angers me that HoA got out early....

Yes, it angers me too, but then I realize I have too much to do before Tuesday, so actually, I'm not that upset.
