 Oh my god! I'm so happy I finally got around to reading this. It took me forever, but it was definitely worth it. This review goes out to my friend who is a massive Sanderson fan and finally convinced me to read this.

UMM... I don't have wordssssss for the ending of this book. THe entire 5th part was a masterpiece. I'm mad at how good it was. I'm still screaming honestly.

There was a chunk of the middle that was kinda a slog, but that might have been my mindspace? I wasn't really in a good place while I was reading that. That part is why I'm not sure about my 5 star rating, but I feel like a reread would definitely confirm the book as 5 stars.

Possibly my favorite part of the book were the little interludes from the logbook before every chapter. I'm going to be thinking about those for a LONG time.

SAZE my love <3 you are my favorite character I love you so much. I just felt the need to put that in. I love that man. (Most of the characters were great. Obviously I love Vin and Elend too. And Dox and Ham and Marsh. I think you get it.)

The more I write the more I feel good about a 5 star rating. Jesus this book was amazing.
