The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
The Bands of Mourning will blow your mind with its developments related to the world of Scadrial and events in the Cosmere. Which may be it's greatest weakness as a Mistborn novel.
The character development and emotional payoff in this book feel weaker than Shadows of Self, while the latter was weaker in terms of world building and general nerdiness.
I might be creating a false dichotomy here, but I felt similarly about Oathbringer (Stormlight Archive #3) in that each book had so much cool Cosmere stuff that characters took a back seat. Though Oathbringer had a better balance.
Don't get me wrong, this book had some great moments for Wax and co. I mean, Steris. So so good.
Another respectable Mistborn novel. So much promised for book 4!
