I loved Wax and Wayne, but I wasn’t a huge fan of Marasi. I thought it was a little creepy that she was his super
fan and studied everything about him. And she wasn’t very interesting like Sanderson’s other female characters; she wanted to be in the action, but she was timid and scared of everything. I hope she gets some character development in the next book.

I had kinda low expectations for this book because I heard it's not as good as Era 1. But truly, how do you compare something to the definition of perfection that Mistborn Era 1 is for me? I was also skeptical because I don't enjoy western like settings. But I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the setting of the book! Loved the exploration of how the magic system changes and adepts in this era, reminiscent of the industrial age. It was also fascinating to see how the world evolved in the 300 years after the ending of Era 1, how details from the past are remembered in myths, legends, religions and places. I almost cried every time I recognized a name or a detail that was mentioned.
I was also surprised by how much fun I had with the plot and the characters in this book. Although both are not as brilliant, developed, well constructed and epic as the first three books, I loved spending time with Wax, Wayne and Marasi. Their banter was funny and I was never bored. I was just not as emotionally invested in them as in Vin, Kel and the crew of Era 1. Plus, I was super intrigues by the prologue which felt like a Criminal Minds episode and all the tales of serial killers Wax had brought to justice... just for the mystery of the majority of the plot to be robberies. I mean, I enjoyed the story for what it was, but I hope it gets a little bit more exciting in the next books.
After the epilogue, I am definitely curious how the series will continue and how it will fit in the broader timeline and the cosmere.
