Interview with Brandon Sanderson, author of The Hero of Ages

Who is the Hero of Ages?

To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness--the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists--is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed.

Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can’t even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave readers rubbing their eyes in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

Now people are on his ass because of the last Wheel book being split up. Like he's in it for the money, or some shit.

What they don't realize is that Sanderson is not being paid any more money for this, and there will still be an omnibus edition containing all three final books under Jordan's original title once they are all released.

Jesus, the guy is trying to us a favor by getting the story out there sooner in fragments, and we have to go and crucify him. Boo!

I agree completely. DO NOT LET THE SCI FI CHANNEL NEAR THIS. This needs to be done correctly.

@Skybreak31 It's not the same now knowing it's not Jordan =/

[Skybreak31]

@RayWilliamJohnsonNot

it should, its still R.Jordan's work and notes.

@P0mt3

i know this is 2 years old, but i wanted to agree w/ your post. (also another reason they were split up is because there was soooooooooooo many notes on the last book... he basically had no choice but to split them up... either that or have a 2,000+ page book. splitting it up into 3 just makes sense even w/ no money involved)

[RayWilliamJohnsonNot]

God I only hope he lives up to my expectations with WOT =/

[SuperHeroMania]

@P0mt3 Not only that, but he's copying from Jordan's fucking notes, he has a tight story to fit in according to Jordan's wishes

@cassiopeiatasara grow up

[cassiopeiatasara]

@JDPatriot I completely agree---I call conspiracy if they try to do anything other than an epic anime --IT can't be done any other way.

@RenonKoral

On his website he has an essay touching on the subject of homophobia, as related to the backlash against the reveal of Dumbledore's sexuality. If you haven't read it, in it he basically said 'Ok, I may have my own beliefs against homosexuality, but I I am glad that Dumbledore is gay because he's a great character and a good test of those beliefs." He also called for conservatives to stop and really think about their protests.

If only more homophobes were like this guy.

@P0mt3

Seriously. Not to mention that it's virtually impossible to get all of Memory of Light into one book. I mean... damn! Sanderson had to split it into three and the first two he released have both broken eight hundred pages!
