4th book in Mistborn series, first with the new cast of Wax & Wayne. The action scenes were as fun as the original trilogy but the dialogue took a significant step back in my opinion. It seems like half of the lines between the main characters were just sarcastic zingers which felt detrimental to the tension that was building up. The ending left me wanting as well, this first book with the new cast felt more like a brief vignette rather than groundwork to continue the series. I hope book 5 reels it in a bit with the marvel movie type of dialogue
