I love the industrialization era of a fantasy world with all its problems but also inventions. I love how the magic is adapting to that. I love the atmosphere. And I really enjoyed the mystery in this one. Trying to catch an assassin is much more interesting than trying to catch a thief.
I managed to guess the culprit, but there were so many surprises along the way and some wtf moments at the end. I'm really curious how the story will continue.

It’s hard to talk about this book without spoilers, so I’m going to stick to some very vague lists of the things I liked and the things I didn’t love.
Things I Liked
- the new characters!
- the pacing
- Marasi’s growth within her new position
- the exploration of the time between Era 1 and Era 2
Things I Didn’t Love
- the actual story. I think that it was fine, but I wanted something a little more fantastical
- Wax’s obsession with guns. I found it very hard to like Wax or to approve of his antics, though I do love him as a character
- the fact that a major plot point of the first book that hasn’t been resolved was barely touched definitely bugged me a bit, but I also know there are two more books and it likely won’t be resolved until the last book of the series
All in all, this was a solid addition to the Mistborn series. 4 stars.
