This book was another great Sanderson book and a great continuation of this series.
This book felt way more a continuation of Mistborn era 1 than that The Alloy of Law was. Don't get me wrong that book was totally mistborn too, but I felt like this book tied in way more with the events of the other three books. This was also immediately a reason making me like this book more than Alloy of Law.
I also really enjoyed Marasi getting a lot more room to shine. She became a lot more independent and the chapters with her doing things on her own were a lot of fun. I absolutely love her as a character and enjoy it a lot when she gets the spotlight. She is smart while often underestimated and really knows her way about the world making her a great character for a POV.
Wax and Wayne were total chaos as usual again and it was very enjoyable to read their antics again. Their banter is absolute top tier and I feel like it expanded even more in this book.
All together a great second book and I hope to get to the next one soon.
