I considered rating this book 4.5 stars for the threads left in the air by the end of it, but upon further reflection, this seems like a perfect ending for the characters we've come to know while leaving a platform for the upcoming third and last generation of the Mistborn saga. This book has made me laugh out loud, and it has made me cry, it has kept me glued to the pages because I could not put it down and be left wondering what would happen next. I think this is a sometimes almost imperceptible transition from Mistborn's more fantasy setting into the sci-fi overall of the Cosmere, and I loved it.

Wayne, you were so flawed and yet so real. I loved that you were able to acknowledge your past and current flaws and let them go, in a way, moving on to become your best self before meeting the hero's ending you deserved. R.I.P. buddy.

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.
