Just as good as the first time I read it. Even better. I noticed so many things that I didn't before. I love Mistborn.

5/02/2023 Original review:

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 DON'T KNOW WHO IRONEYES IS??? I FEEL STUPID. WHO IS HE??? IS IT KELSIER??? BUT HE'S NOT CORPOREAL. IS IT MARSH? I DON'T REMEBER IF HE DIED. I THINK HE DID. AND EVEN IF HE DIDN'T, HE'S NOT IMMORTAL. WHO IS IRONEYES???? I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD KNOW... I will finish the trilogy, and if I still don't know who he is by the end of it, I will look it up. I FEEL SO FRUSTRATED

EDIT: 

OH IM SO STUPID. IRONEYES IS SPOOK!!!

20/02/2024 UPDATE: I AM THE DUMBEST PERSON ON PLANET EARTH. I DESERVE TO BE TORTURED! MARSH IS IRONEYES. HOLY CRAP. WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO REALISE?


I'm excited to continue this trilogy and read more about my beloved Wax, Wayne and Marasi.
