This was a really nice conclusion to the mainline series and I really liked it. Just like the first, I do not see myself as the protagonist, but I definitely feel an odd sense of almost parental pride while reading the protagonist's revelations and growth.
Read this as an audio book on a long car trip. 10/10 will read again, very fun story.

I really liked it. I don't want to spoil anything and am hesitant to write much in a review. Was this perfection in a book? No. Was this a dumpster fire of a book? Again, no. This is very much a Brandon Sanderson Stormlight book that continues and expands the story of his characters.

I really liked this book. If you've read other Sanderson books, and enjoyed the, I expect you will like this as well.

This book was fine. As positives:
- Didn't have mopey hero syndrome
- Had some surprises I didn't anticipate
The things that were negative for me:
- The dialog felt shallow
- I wouldn't want to spend time with any of the characters
Ultimately, I am ambivalent towards this book. It is a fine book, just not one that resonated with me very much.

First, if you haven't read Sanderson before, this would be a very spoiler-y start to the Mistborn series. I enjoyed reading from the beginning, and I think you would too. At least go back to book 5 though.
Second, if you liked the original Mistborn series, I think you'll like this book. Previously shallow characters (or even just some of their traits) were filled out quite a bit. I found myself enjoying some of the characters even more than before, so that was good.
Finally, the book isn't as long as some of Sanderson's other writings. But the story didn't feel rushed and I feel like this is an excellent addition to the Mistborn series.

I had some hesitations before starting this book, I wasn't as enamored with its immediate predecessor as I was with the Mistborn trilogy. It took a little bit before this book got its hooks into me, but it definitely did. I greatly enjoyed the original Mistborn trilogy, and I enjoyed this book too.
