If it makes you cry, it gets 5 stars. We all know the rules.

What an end to Era 2. When the Alloy of Law came out, I was excited by the change in direction in the writing style and setting compared to the original Mistborn trilogy but felt it lacked a bit of the larger scope and theological elements. From Bands of Mourning, and Secret History, that changes and this series really ups the ante. And with The Lost Metal, the Cosmere connections are really starting to come to life! 

I'm so intrigued to see what happens in the next era of Mistborn and also the Cosmere. I think I'm going to have to go reread some Sanderson to prepare.

Thank you to Gollancz for the review copy.
