Book Review: The Hero of Ages

[@AnEruditeAdventure]

Spook in this book goes from a loveable, but a bit dorky character, to one of the best characters in fantasy. His storyline is absolute incredible. I agree with you on the “too awesome” ending. I love it, and I love all the reveals, but a bit more time to breath and take it all in could’ve been extremely beneficial. Great discussion. -T

[@JimWilbourne]

I wasn't sure anyone would agree with me on that point. I just remember when reading it all the mysteries being unveiled back to back. Enough that I don't even remember what they were. I don't think I had enough time to absorb them.

Saving this one for once I get here :o

[@JimWilbourne]

Let me know what you think when you do!

I just snagged a copy of your book, sounds promising! Spook is divisive. I loved him personally. He grew so much, and played a pivotal role in the heroe of ages, and if you've read secret history, you know that there's always another secret. Spook becoming ruler for a long time and fathering many children is gonna be super important down the road. Same with the lord ruler and his offspring. This trilogy is the series that got me to start reading again after getting sober from heroin, and reading has become my new addiction. Read 37 novels this year already, and yours will be on the tbr pile for a little while as I have a few things to get to first, but it will be in the next few months. You got a new sub!

I didn't realize he divisive! That's interesting. I found him to be very compelling. I actually haven't read Secret History yet. I will at some point during my era 2 read. Other than this trilogy, I've read The Alloy of Law and The Eleventh Metal. Perhaps I'll read Secret History next! And thanks for grabbing my book! I hope you enjoy it! And I put a link to some other free stories from me in the back. Have fun on your reading journey, and thank you so much for the sub! I hope I can bring you more videos you'll love.

I'd read secret history after bands of mourning, as it answers a huge question you have after the epilogue, and is CRUCIAL to read before lost metal. A lot of people HATED spook. I always enjoyed him

Commenting for the algorithm because I enjoy your videos. Thanks. :)

[@JimWilbourne]

I appreciate that so much! Liking, commenting, and sharing the video with other people who might like it are big helps! You're the best, Ken

[@seanhalpin87]

Also. I can't agree with the too much awesome. The sanderlanche is the best part of his books, and heroe of ages is one of the best ones he's done.

[@JimWilbourne]

I love a good sanderlanche too! But I don't think it was that as much as it was the lead up to the sanderlanche. I'm not sure why, but every reveal felt a little rushed for me, but so many people love this ending, so I'm probably an outlier on this one

[@AuthorJohnADouglas]

I get it. *internally*”I don’t get it*😂
