Brandon Sanderson’s book, The Hero of Ages, is the third book in the Mistborn series. The book follows Vin and Elend as they search the world for hints on how to defeat Ruin. All the while they must fight against both the ash, which is becoming threatening to supplies and covering tons of land and the armies of Ruin, which have become very daunting. This book is not as impressive as the first book in the series due to its ebb and flow of interesting parts.

Brandon Sanderson’s book, Well of Ascension, is the second book in the Mistborn series. The book is focused on a war in a much larger scale than the first book in the series, and ultimately sets the scene for the third book. The story with Elend Venture and Vin adds a good dynamic to the story. However, there are a few parts throughout the story that drag on and cause boring stretches in the book.
