2022 Re-read:
For my third re-read I remembered very little about this book! I agree with my 4/5 star rating and once the Second Era has been completed I may appreciate this book more, but I will save that for my fourth read through.

The measure of a person is not how much they have lived. It is not how easily they jump at a noise or how quick they are to show emotion. It's in how they make use of what life has shown them.

A nice continuation of what life has been like after the first Mistborn trilogy. Times have changed, metallic powers have evolved, but the story and characters did not feel as refined as the previous books. If I hadn't read the first trilogy I don't know if this book would have been as enjoyable, but because of Sanderson's ability to craft the world in Mistborn #1-3 I was able to forgive less character development for more Allomancy and Feruchemy.

I look forward to reading the remainder of the Mistborn stories because the magic system is incredible, and it is evolving over time.

First read: Read from December 16 to 20, 2013
Second read: October 6 - October 12, 2015
