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)
"I love you."
"you dont. You just think you do because i'm all you know."
"Really? So whats this burning sensation i'm having in my stomach?"
"Too much ale."
"Not love?"
"No. But i can see how you confused the two."
"I don't feel good."
"They do that to you."
"my legs, their numb."
"Hahaha!"
"haha!"

Good job elmandr1. You must be a speed reader to finish the rest of the book in 20 minutes.
Now you've got all the ones with beards on one side and all the
moustaches on the other.

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.

This would be the point where I ask if you need to eat the hat, but I'm going to show restraint. Let's all show some restraint...
