Such a whirlwind! Wow! This was so unexpected! I loved finally getting more call-backs for the first Mistborn trilogy! It’s going to be interesting to see how all this plays out!

The plot thickens. Wayne is and remains the best character.

Sanderson makes good use of the early chapters to establish important themes and concepts. His characters have definitely become a lot more two dimensional than the first series.

I enjoy how Steries's character is slowly being developed. Coming out of her shell as it were. Although I'd be interested to know if it was in the original plan or if the hiatus between the first and second book influenced the direction her character development has started to take.

This was so good. Everything has improved from Alloy of Law, the plot, the pacing, the Era 1 references. But although I really like the characters, I'm still not as emotionally invested in them as in Era 1. But that's the only thing that's keeping this from being a 5 star. 
I love the industrialization era of a fantasy world with all its problems but also inventions. I love how the magic is adapting to that. I love the atmosphere. And I really enjoyed the mystery in this one. Trying to catch an assassin is much more interesting than trying to catch a thief. 
I managed to guess the culprit, but there were so many surprises along the way and some wtf moments at the end. I'm really curious how the story will continue.
