Damnit Sanderson he DID IT AGAIN! What a satisfying, happy yet devastating ending to the second mistborn era. This series is a bit more hopeful than its predecessor as the world level stakes are less devastating. But the integration of the greater cosmere lore was done beautifully. RIP to one of my favorite fictional characters ever. You went out in an epic, spectacularly you way. I’ll miss the characters from this series so so so so so much. Absolutely amazing!

The way that Sanderson manages to wrap up the series, or sub-series, was entertaining, fulfilling, and satisfying. At first, reading through the books of the Wax and Wayne chronicles of Sanderson’s Mistborn world, I was a little disheartened by the fact that each story felt like it stood on its own, and it wasn’t necessarily continuation of a single storyline. However, this book proves me completely wrong in that sense of the way. Sanderson managed to weep in all of the plot holes from the previous books in the series and wrap it up in a nice tidy bow, giving every character he brings in a satisfying end.

Of course I was heartbroken by the loss of Wayne, but I honestly couldn’t be too upset, considering that he was protecting his best friend and doing so in a way that still felt like himself.

Wax, Wayne, and the entire gang have this specific meshability that I rarely see in books that contain a lot of characters and complicated storylines, but truthfully, Sanderson is such a gifted writer that he manages to not weave in, but to tie it in to previous storylines to help those come to an official close as well.

This is the third set of books from Sanderson that I have read, and I look forward to continuing my way through his creative worlds!

What can I say? I’m not a big fan.

No quiero que la gente me odie por esto y la verdad no es nada contra el autor o el libro en sí, es solo que no podía concentrarme, sinceramente creo que lo detectivesco/policial no es lo mío.

El libro está lleno de emociones y peleas pero como no me importaban tanto como que mi cerebro se desconectaba y llegaba directamente al final de capítulo sin saber bien que había pasado. De hecho hubo un par de veces que tenía que volver a leer por que no sabia de donde aparecían personajes nuevos jeje.

Wayne like always fue el hightligh de toda la historia. Amo su humor y creo que interacciones con el resto fue lo único a lo que si lograba prestarle atención.

You’re meant to be helping people.

Al final si solté un par de lagrimas. Wayne murió de la mejor manera que pudo haberlo hecho un personaje.

La asociación de Kelsier me intriga mucho. Y amó mucho al personaje, obvio, pero igual sus métodos me dan reticencia y después de la historia secreta, cuando nos muestran como es que vuelve, no sé, no quiero tener que odiarlo en el futuro o que muera de nuevo de forma tan trágica.

Y Harmony…. Que onda? Desde el punto de Wax como que confió en él, pero si Kelsier que lo conoce de tanto tiempo piensa que hay mas de Ruina últimamente y que algo esta “mal”, quizás es todo un trampa, y ni él lo sabe.
