4.9/5 putting the spoiler tab on this one

KELSIER!!!! THE LITERAL SURVIVOR!!!!

What a fucking treat. This was a true deep dive on what makes Kelsier a great character. Even in death he was trying to do the impossible.

But this confirmed so many things!!! Like Kelsier is a “good” guy but he has problems!! Vin popped off at him at the end. “You have a lot to learn about love” and “How much was about us, and how much was about you”. The whole time throughout Mistborn, is he saving the world for others or just to prove that he can?

The implications are crazy with this! He’s a brutal guy and now is let loose on the cosmere. I’m so excited to see where this will go.

Also, HOW DID BRANDON KNOW TO FORESHADOW THIS.
I’m so sad I had to read so many books to get to this point.
medium-paced

Read AFTER bands of mourning. Balls to the wall speed with crazy lore. Good times

Más que una novela, es como una historia paralela de la primera trilogía de Mistborn. Y encima la protagoniza Kelsier. Pero pese a todo esto, Sanderson desvela un montón de cosas sobre el Cosmere que, como bien dice él, responde algunas preguntas. Y también abre algunas otras, no nos vamos a engañar xD.
