This was truly an incredible ending. Probably one of my favorite series endings ever. The twists were so fun and satisfying to see come to fruition, and the emotion throughout the whole book was so raw and real.  The twists were set up beautifully, using small seemingly throwaway details from the rest of the series. Sanderson managed to display both the hopelessness and pain and hardship of war without ever losing the core idea of hope and determination and fighting until the very end and your true last breath. Truly a beautiful and satisfying conclusion.
