It was just a prequel short story; great to see returning characters, but it wasn't much. 3 stars because that seems to be the agreed set for this short read.
A full range of emotional conclusion to an amazingly unique story. I wish I could but it into words how great and attentioned to detail everything was, all finally wrapped up and explained in such a great way. This is my introduction into the cosmere universe and new reading addiction, I think.
4.5 - A very good middle book that picks up right where the first left off, shows the struggle and changes and growth in all our favor characters, bringing in multiple new threats that are juggled quite well, and continues the mystery of the past and what role everyone truly plays excellently!

3.5-4.
A great story, albiet written for it's time.
My only complaint is the fat page of time especially at the end, and i wish it delved deeper into some main plot points that were constantly addressed.
4.5 - I'm suprised! For basically rehashing the exact 2 same major plot arcs from the first two books, Bridge Of Ash does them both better and jam packs even more into the short time frame.
Also my previous book concerns are answered and writtenly shown in this book, so it was a big plus. It's great to see what the powers that were once constantly teast come to the forfront and truly shine in the plot.

4.5 - A great start to an interesting series! I lived the introduced characters, charismatic powers, historical setting, and character connected plot events driving the arc.
