Ok, this isn't a real DNF, but I've decided I'm going to pause this book at 9% because I clearly remember way less from this series than I realized.
And upon doing some light research, my immediate impression is that I should read more of the Cosmere before this, lol. At the very least, I think I want to reread this era of Mistborn because it's been 5 (ridiculous) years since I picked up The Bands of Mourning.

A satisfying ending to the trilogy though not nearly the awesome jaw-dropper of Hero of Ages. I really enjoyed the book, but a little disappointed at how much Cosmere got crammed in here. There's no avoiding it now: you're in a shared universe.

Wayne's story arc and character development across these four books should be taught in classrooms.
Actual rating 4.75
Such a beautiful ending to era 2. Sanderson really knows how to end a Mistborn series that’s for sure!
I thought the plot was well paced giving the four main characters that we’ve grown to love and adore chances to shine in their own unique situations. We had extraordinary character growth for some here, and standout moments in the entire era for others.
I thought the heavy lore drop around Chapter 42 was really interesting. It felt like 8 books worth of revelations happening at once which was interesting.
I did find it interesting how we had some plot lines introduced right at the end of Era 2. Will be interesting to see how those are picked up or referenced going forward.
Lastly this man, who is a great detective at times, still never pieced together that his driver named Hoid shares the name with the beggar who gave him an important metal mind.. I mean how common is the name Hoid people????

This is such an in the middle rating (for now) I might decide to change it later... on a reread maybe? But I'm so annoyed/disappointed in this book but it was also amazing and heart wrenching at times...

And we were actually given TOO MUCH. So much Cosmere, so many returns... it seems to have dampened the mystery of the Cosmere world and leaves me feeling less excited about it all.. I like the secrets, I like the unknown, I like finding out bits here and there, to feel like there's soooo much still left to find out in this vast universe. Instead, it was all handed to us on a platter (kinda).
