you know what.. As much as i love Sanderson, this book was so not for me. The whole love thing was cute, probably the only redeeming thing about this book (Testement to how lukewarm this book is that i'm actually praising guey stuff in it, Ugh) This was basically some Indiana Jones type novel with characters chasing questionable relics.. Like the Lord Ruler's spear?? i mean, did the dude have a spear?? like i'm seriously trying to remeber if he did have one... Like did he go hunting at some point in the original mistborn trilogy that we weren't aware of and what the heck was the deal witht the bands? I'm pretty sure

Spoiler

all he had in the trilogy were metalminds (that's what it's called right) and last i remembered, Vin tore that shit off his body and scattered it to the wind.

So where did the Bands come from?

The first book in the series you're like, Aight this is cool, these characters are funny and shit. But when you read the same plot (no joke) twice over, i mean, c'mon!! See Wayne is funny, Wax is serious and flies around, Marasi is the brains (Hmmm this sounds very Harry Potter ish, Wax is Harry albeit a smarter one, Wayne is Ron and Marasi is Hermoine; But i digress), they do some sleuthing for over half of the book, in that time they chase some bad guys, eventually at like the 60% mark or so they hit pay dirt and confront the baddies, Wax ends up saving the day and getting shot, Wayne does some wise cracking, Marasi helps any way she can... i guess.

Again i seriously have to ask. Why did we need these books? everything ended perfectly in the original mistborn series, why did we need this? I honestly don't think the story is gripping enough and although there are some "whoa really" moments all the plots in book 4-6 develop mainly in the same way.

All in all a pretty meh book..

Excellent, so many twists and an insane amount of world building that was such a treat to go along with an amazing entry into this series. Character development continued and was deeply satisfying. Highly recommend!
