I agree. Congratulations! I have a definite feeling that this is my new favorite series.
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: ***SPOILERS Official Hero of Ages Spoilers Thread. Includes Q&A w/Brandon****

Just finished the book the other day, and I'll echo everyone else and say it was fantastic. It was very pleasant to read a fantasy series that was relatively concise and had a satisfying ending. The theology seemed to be heavily influenced by LDS thinking, but you write what you know--I didn't think that it was ineffective or inappropriate. It definitely was one of my more enjoyable reads.
I do have a few comments and questions, mostly about Marsh:
1. Holy cow, but did Marsh have it rough. I mean, yeah, everyone had a tough time with the world coming to an end and all, but this man takes the cake. Literally living through hell for the past four years, and being a prisoner in his own mind for the past two--and still having the willpower to influence events for the good when the time comes. Vin, Elend, Kelsier, and the rest of the crew definitely deserve major accolades for saving the world when it seemed all but impossible, but in my opinion, Marsh deserves the highest recognition several times over for going above and beyond. This man truly did the impossible that made everything else possible.
2. Going along with that, I'm surprised that after Vin destroyed herself along with Ruin that he didn't immediately suicide the instant that he regained full control over himself. So I guess the question is: did he regain full control after Ruin died? If he did, why didn't he immediately kill himself, as that seems to have been his fondest wish for about the past two years?
3. Whether or not he regained control of himself, I assume that he and Sazed had a long conversation after Sazed's ascension. What was said in general/specific? If I was Marsh, Sazed would have to be a pretty fast talker to convince me to want to carry on after all I'd been through.
Thanks again Brandon for the good times. I look forward to many years of enjoying your books.
