I have been going back and forth reading this book.
The first  part I enjoyed but did not love. Parts  2-3 I found a little annoying, but the last two where incredible.
Everything from the last books started to get explained.
 
TenSoon has remained one of my favorite since book 2. Spook also is a fantastic character. Elend I like and think would have been a great ruler, but just is not the same person I loved in book 1. Vin I have felt the same about from the beginning. I enjoy her chapters but never really found her overly interesting. Finally the Lord Ruler. I got the impression he was not as bad as we thought during the second book but I did not expect the extent of the work he did to keep Ruin at bay.
 
The ending. I have no words. I think this is what the Game of Thrones wanted to do.
   
The queen, empress, mistborn was not who everyone thought she was. The Hero was unexpected but not unbelievable .
 
All the nuggets of  information pulled together and made the fantastic whole trilogy come together. 

This book had one of the best ending I have read in any book so far.
