Such a good, bittersweet conclusion to the original trilogy. The beginning was a bit slow and complicated but once it picked up, damn. Shoutout to Spook and TenSoon ❤️

I almost finished this book long ago(had been 3 months since)
30 pgs left in the book saw the kind of ending it will be
Put it down...told myself the blow wouldn't be that bad if I take my time...keep some distance, let's pretend it doesn't exist
Picked it up today
Hmm...it's worse...maybe it will be easy next time (who am I kidding)
Blown away by the sheer brilliance of this man!! The way he ties up everything in the story BRILLIANT!!

The themes wrap up nicely. It's a little dark, and a bit convoluted, but fun in the "differences" the story provides.
My husband just finished this one and didn't like it nearly as much.

Brandon, how could you

kill off all my friends? You made me get attached to Vin and Sazed for THIS to happen?

Such a bittersweet wrap to the trilogy, but it all came together beautifully. Left a big ole book hangover.
