Man dies, punches god, takes a year long bath, then goes for a run in the backrooms of reality. More at six

Unpopular opinion... Mistborn should have ended with the first 3 books really. I don't understand the point of all these stretching out and adding stories here and there. And knowing Sanderson, if any of what happens here has any bearing on future books, he's probably still going to explain it to death in those books still.. And really though was that the secret?? really that was it??
Points for Nostalgia but really though meh. Also seriously

Spoiler

where did Marsh go to? he just disappeared at the end of book 3

Frankly that was the main reason i picked up this book and i still didn't get my answer.
All in all didn't wow me as much as i expected it to.

I always dream of stories with layers upon layers upon layers and that’s not exactly what this book was, but it was a window that let me see I had already been reading those stories. Brandon Sanderson has a plan for his connected universe and I’ve always known that, but this book made it abundantly clear that the Easter eggs he sprinkles into his books aren’t just a fun nod and wink to readers, but clues for a saga that will span more than hundred thousand words.

And I’m so, so here for it.
