This entire book was so epic.
I love the new characters. They're so awesome and work amazingly together. Their banter was so funny.
The setting was great. It's like a Sherlockian steam punk world. I love it so much.
The story was full of action and intrigue. Definitely an addictive page-turner.
I loved all the small references to the previous trilogy and how the lore was even more expanded. We have new terms for different types of allomancy, new metals, new powers. It was so satisfying to learn about it.
I'm excited to continue this trilogy and read more about my beloved Wax, Wayne and Marasi.
