Ich mein was zum „Ruin“ hab ich hier gelesen. Wenn ich könnte ich würde mehr als 5 Sterne geben.
Das Buch führt die Tradition weiter. Es ist eine völlig neue Geschichte die erzählt wird. Dazu wird aber nicht absurd irgendwas Neues aus dem Ärmel geschüttelt, sondern er nimmt die Fäden die schon da sind und entwickelt sie konsequent zu Ende. Langsam werd ich müde das zu sagen, aber auch hier war nichts vorhersehbar oder auch nur im entferntesten langweilig. Um mich nicht ständig zu wiederholen geh ich mal direkt auf das Ende ein. Ein Plottwist jagt den nächsten und Sanderson führt mir mal wieder vor Augen wie berechenbar ich selber bin, das ich all die Anspielungen und Vorrausdeutungen der letzten zwei Bücher nicht gesehen habe und nun hier völlig sprachlos vor dieser Auflösung stehe.
Also sag mir bitte Sanderson wie soll ich jetzt mit dieser Leere in mir umgehen, da ich weiß das dieser Epos zu Ende ist.

Onto critiques; I’ve never liked how much Sanderson used the word awesome and this one is no different. It also started out pretty slow, but it picks up and goes so hard.

Con le rivelazioni in questo libro, rileggere il primo volume sarà una delizia e un'avventura completamente nuova, in cui mi cimenterò a breve di sicuro.
Il tono di questo libro era senz'altro più miserabile e cupo. Ripensandoci, he c'era da aspettarsi dal volume incentrato sull'Hemalurgy? Niente di buono poteva uscire dall'arte che ha dato origine agli Inquisitors, ma di certo non mi aspettavo l'estensione ad altre specie: quello sì mi ha preso alla sprovvista.
Sazed è partito da subito come tra i miei preferiti, ma raggiuntasi la conclusione dello sviluppo di questo meraviglioso personaggio, devo ammettere che sarà uno di quelli che rimarrà nel mio cuore per un bel po'. Sanderson avrà finito con te, ma rimarrai sempre nei miei pensieri, Sazed.
Finalmente un po' di meritato focus su Spook! I suoi POV sono stati tra i più coinvolgenti, e il vederlo crescere e maturare durante questa missione mi ha lasciato senza fiato e zittita mordendomi le unghie in più di un momento,
Unica pecca, che ripensandoci è un problema in tutta la trilogia, è la mancanza di personaggi femminili rilevanti fuori dalla sfera romantica: con tutta la frenesia nel primo volume, devo ammettere di non averci fatto caso subito, ma la cosa ha iniziato a pesare quando ogni entusiasmo per l'introduzione di una potenziale stella emergente femminile finiva inevitabilmente smorzato da un plateau nella personalità del personaggio, relegato ad essere semplicemente la nuova fiamma di uno dei personaggi principali. Decisamente deludente a lungo andare e mi preclude dal dare il massimo. So di non essere sola a sostenere la cosa e spero che la carenza non prosegui nelle prossime letture e che Sanderson abbia ascoltato e dato peso adeguato a queste critiche.
