You know I love me some Cosmere. This was good, the pacing was nice, but I feel like I was not as satisfied like I am with previous books. It’s not believable to me that Nomad is this monster he makes himself out to be because we really don’t see it.

So therefore it’s not a big aha moment when he starts to help the Beacon folks

His character needed a bit more fleshing out, the disconnect with his past and future self, is intentional by Brandon, but I think he missed the mark a little here. I still loved the book, as always, I enjoy the side characters, the worldbuilding, etc. The science did bog down some key moments I think.
