Such a whirlwind! Wow! This was so unexpected! I loved finally getting more call-backs for the first Mistborn trilogy! It’s going to be interesting to see how all this plays out!

This book was Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” in novel form. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

4.0

Rereading this, I enjoyed it a lot more. It shows growth in the mythos that surrounds the world. And I love Wayne. He's so funny and is a great comedic relief when needed. But I really am excited to see how the story keeps going over the last two books in this part of the saga.

Original review 

This is, and I hate to say it, not as good as the original series. While I did enjoy the story -- and how I got to see some of my favorites come on the page again, at least in mentions -- it just wasn't as strong. I kept waiting for a point, to see why Sanderson felt the need to carry on this story beyond what it needed. I don't feel as attached to the characters in this one. The plot is meh because it doesn't feel like there's a point to this or a huge climax that we're going towards.

At least, in this one, I got some reminders of the people I loved in the first part of this series and there might be a point to this coming up soon (aka the next book).
