I considered rating this book 4.5 stars for the threads left in the air by the end of it, but upon further reflection, this seems like a perfect ending for the characters we've come to know while leaving a platform for the upcoming third and last generation of the Mistborn saga. This book has made me laugh out loud, and it has made me cry, it has kept me glued to the pages because I could not put it down and be left wondering what would happen next. I think this is a sometimes almost imperceptible transition from Mistborn's more fantasy setting into the sci-fi overall of the Cosmere, and I loved it.
Wayne, you were so flawed and yet so real. I loved that you were able to acknowledge your past and current flaws and let them go, in a way, moving on to become your best self before meeting the hero's ending you deserved. R.I.P. buddy.
