Never thought I’d become more attached to the characters from this series than the characters from the first. Yeah I was wrong. This book further goes on to prove how good Brandon Sanderson is at writing satisfying conclusions to his stories. If I had to sum up my feelings in one sentence: “ain’t no fellow who regretted giving it one extra shake, but you can bet every guy has regretted giving one too few.” I’m gonna miss these characters so much.

uhhh.. what the hell was that ? As a final book of a Mistborn series, it is very underwhelming. Wayne is good. Everything else is mediocre. Why even write this ? Why is Harmony so boring comparing to other shards like Honor, cultivation or Odium! Even Preservation was so fun, and he was there in cosmere text for like 5 minutes. Sazed needs more charcter development. There needs to be more "Shardian Influence" on this vessel.
I think I am just dissapointed. The book introduces a bunch of new characters, and there isn't enough time to enjoy the new characters. The book also chooses a brand new villian for some reason, breaking the fun of the final villian showdown.
Some great ideas in the book, but this second Mistborn series is a far cry from SA or Mistborn Era 1
Plot is complicated, just as expected, but boring.
Overall an average read.

Very fun seeing the cosmere coming together - even if I was constantly googling stuff (including an Era 2 recap, it's been ages!) and still lost quite often. Luckily, the daunting feeling is outweighed by the exciting "A-ha!" of recognising something on my own.
My main criticism is definitely the humour - though there are some genuinely funny moments I think they are overshadowed by the misses. That said, I did like the end to Wayne's arc, even if he is the source of a lot of the more underwhelming jokes.
I think Stormlight Archive has Sanderson's strongest character work but the Mistborn magic system is so great, and I think I might finally find the motivation to reread the original trilogy (especially to compare Kelsier's character to what he is now because I honestly don't love him at the moment, though I do like the other Ghostblood members in here). Overall fun stuff and felt like it had strong momentum the whole way through, which is something that Sanderson's longer works struggle with, good as they all are.
