It’s hard to talk about this book without spoilers, so I’m going to stick to some very vague lists of the things I liked and the things I didn’t love.
Things I Liked
- the new characters!
- the pacing
- Marasi’s growth within her new position
- the exploration of the time between Era 1 and Era 2
Things I Didn’t Love
- the actual story. I think that it was fine, but I wanted something a little more fantastical
- Wax’s obsession with guns. I found it very hard to like Wax or to approve of his antics, though I do love him as a character
- the fact that a major plot point of the first book that hasn’t been resolved was barely touched definitely bugged me a bit, but I also know there are two more books and it likely won’t be resolved until the last book of the series
All in all, this was a solid addition to the Mistborn series. 4 stars.
