The final book in Mistborn Era 2 was a rollercoaster.
The character development was excellent with a special mention for Wayne's arc and his banter with the other characters. Also, it felt like Marasi really shined in this book.
One of the best elements of Era 2 is how Sanderson fuses fantasy with the mystery genre, and it was on full display in this book, with fast-paced detective work and action/chase scenes being one of my favourite things about the book.
The Cosmere tie-ins were done perfectly, being a part of the story but not overshadowing it, and being really rewarding for those who have read the other Cosmere books.
And of course, the ending. It was heartwrenching but so glorious at the same time.WayneðŸ˜ðŸ˜. Such an awesome way for a character to go out.
The only things I can complain about are small nitpicks. The epilogues dragged on a little too long andthe butt-grabbing was a bit cringe.
Overall, This book was an amazing ending to Era 2. It was a fulfilling and emotional conclusion to this arc of Mistborn and leaves me eager to read the future eras, especially after reading a certain epilogue in this book. (Although I don't think Era 3 is coming anytime soon.😅)
Overall for Era 2, it was not as amazing as Era 1, but Era 1 is basically perfect, and Era 2 was still great.
I think The Bands of Mourning might be a bit better than this book, but this was still fantastic.
