I am still very much in doubt about my rating as this book had me hooked. But there were some chapters or passages within chapters that annoyed me. Especially the constant repeating about what people can do with their allomantic power.

Yes, we were aware that Spook has superhuman enhanced senses because of his constant tin burning, thank you, I don’t need it confirmed every other sentence.

 

And I did love how this whole trilogy was set up. You think you know how the world works and this book shatters it all, and I loved it!

The overall world building by this book was fantastic and the way it ended was so brilliant. Honestly the only reason this doesn't get 5 stars, is the length, some parts could be shorter
