Great ending to Era 2 and great Cosmere tie ins!

I think the plot of Era 2 isn't quiet as good as the overarching plot of Era 2 but I do think the characters and the character dynamics were better. Sterris is an angel and probably my favorite character. Wax is suoer badass, I like him. Marasi was so interesting and grew so much. Even Wayne, who was probably my least favorite of the crew, had a lovely arc on this book.

Major spoilers from this point forward!

The book started off really slow, though I did enjoy that there was a 5 year time skip. 

Kelsier being alive and around was WACKY! And being part of the Ghostbloods???? I've read up to Oathbringer for Stormlight and it's so interesting that the Ghostbloods are in both places. That really kept my interest in this last book. I'm super excited to see how this branch of the Ghostbloods ties in with the SLA Ghostbloods. Also because Era 3 will be called the Ghostbloods.
