6. I just finished the final book of THE MISTBORN TRILOGY...

I found this series fascinating at first. Then between books two and three, I read the first book of THE WAY OF KINGS. That book blew me away and I can't wait till he finishes his continuation of that story. I went back and finsished A HERO FOR THE AGES, the final Mistborn book, and found it dragging past the middle. I rarely skip to the last few chapters of a book, but I did this time 'cause I was fast losing interest. I didn't like the end. It wasn't a bad ending, but it wasn't an ending that fit the first two books.

I have found, though, that it is not uncommon for a fantasy series to end with a whimer. I think that perhaps authors have lived with the stories so long that they get get tired of it and get a bit sloppy and leave things out that would have a more finished well done work.

I just saw that on his site. I'm happy it's finished but wish it was coming out a little quicker. WhollyHeretic Dec 2011 #3

I never heard about him wanting to have it burned. That's a new one to me. Glassunion Dec 2011 #4

Awesome. I'll admit he's not as good as Jordan, but he is still good. white_wolf Dec 2011 #5

There are going to be more novels spinning off from WOT? 1monster Jan 2012 #7

There was going to be before Jordan died. white_wolf Jan 2012 #8
