A story of lost and then found hope and faith.
Possibly one of the best endings to a trilogy that I have ever read. The stakes felt real, and the last bit of the story was simply beautiful to read. What a treasure to read a fantasy novel were everything was wrapped up in a nice little bow with no loose ends.
While I enjoyed this book mostly for it's phenomenal ending, the Sazed chapters were sometimes hard to read as he is dealing with his depression. Thankfully, the Spook and TenSoon chapters peppered in kept me going. I would have loved to read more about TenSoon, but I think his story was best told in bits.
Over-all I'm super glad I stuck with the Mistborn series after not really liking the "Well of Ascension" very much. This made it all worth it.
