The Hero of Ages

The plotting was beautiful. We are never blindsided by any reveal and infact some nuggets were sprinkled as far back as book one. As usual the pacing was slow at the beginning but the build up was worth it.The two main characters had little growth in this one and one of them in particular had drastically changed at the beginning in ways I wish I had been able to read rather than have it referenced in past tense. That said, other characters took up the stage and grew in unexpected but engaging ways. There were some heartbreaking moments but I enjoyed the ending nonetheless. What a send-off. An enjoyable read
