This has been the best climax I’ve read in a Sanderson (although twists aren’t mistborn era 1 level ‘WTF this is amazing’), but also maybe the weakest resolution…

Really enjoyed it. Setting as always really interesting, and love a bit of religious introspection, characters were flat at first but you do really grow to like them. It helps that this is a slow burn of a book. The plot is really basic on the face of it, but the different perspectives, the unique setting and the combination of macro-level plots and micro-level individual experiences makes it feel anything other than generic.
