I don’t know how he does it. I’ve admitted that I’ve not been terribly invested in Era 2 from the beginning. Sure, the first three books were entertaining, but I felt like they were missing. . .something. So please explain to me how this book made me CRY SO HARD, I gave myself a headache? Ugh. Sanderson, the evil genius. This was definitely my favorite of the Era 2 books, probably because it opened up a whole can of worms and questions about the cosmere and not because it somehow sneak attacked my heart and Shattered it like Adonalsium.

This rating honestly feels blasphemous. 

The meta developments in this book blew my mind. The crossover are starting for real... and it was fun matching side characters with other series and drawing connections. The Harmony epilogue... intriguing and worrying. I'll definitely keep following along. 

That being said... I kinda found myself trudging through this book for the first two thirds. And I found the end less impactful than the end of the first Mistborn trilogy, which was disappointing. I expected tears and mind blowing but it just felt pretty lighthearted. There was never really a point in the plot where I couldn't see the characters succeeding and I feel like that's pretty integral to a Sanderson plot. I'm also not sure we really needed four different povs, balanced the way they were, because we ended up spending little time with anyone in particular and maybe that's why I didn't feel connected to any of the characters as much as I wanted to be.

A satisfying ending for era 2. Loved to see all characters again. The character developments from Wayne and Marasi are incredible. Also loved to see Steris shine. Incredible cosmere lore, which had me super excited! Sanderlanche had me cry.

Me ha gustado mucho el libro. No me esperaba que acabase cómo acaba, pero me encaja perfectamente. Y me parece que el libro funciona muy bien por sí solo, incluso sin tener en cuenta el resto de la serie. 

Me ha dolido la muerte de Wayne más que cualquier otra muerte de ficción probablemente nunca. Y me ha costado un poco aceptarlo, pero los epílogos (por cierto, vaya montón que hay) ayudan bastante con ello al ver cómo afecta a los demás personajes. Y la conversación de Wayne con Armonía me ha encantado.
