My mind is literally blown after reading this!!!!! You get more of a look into the cosmere while revisiting some of your favorite characters from Mistborn! 

Without spoiling you learn what happens after death and that there are three realms. It was so fun and I absolutely loved it!

What a great conclusion to the first era of Mistborn.

I got to learn about the Cosmere and how it works. That was really interesting and fascinating and it seems I will get more answers in the next era. Super excited!

I loved that last scene with Vin and Elend. At least they're together and... happy? I will still cry over their death until my last breath.

I always wondered why Ruin and Preservation were so human-like when they're supposed to be Gods. Well, now I know. And it's very fascinating. I want to learn more about the other deities.

Oh, and Kelsier is now inmortal. Well, that's unexpected. But is it really, though? He's Kelsier. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the next trilogy. I hope I will be able to spot him.
