Painful to get into, and even by the end I did t really care about the plot, but I did like the characters, once I started remembering them from the previous book ( )
Brandon Sanderson has become problematic for me. I love his characters but his ability to finish a story in a satisfying manor continues to be a problem for me. This is the 3rd series he has written that I feel has ended in a chaotic mess. This book had some brilliant parts but often felt like work reading it. It was closer to a 2 1/2 star for me.
I might have not even finished it but I really did care about the characters. He also spends way too long getting to the point. I stopped reading Stormlight books because they never seemed to go anywhere. I would have cut about 100 pages out of this one.
This may well have been my last Sanderson book. I don’t see myself starting another series and I have already given up on the ones that are still going. ( )
Reading the Mistborn Saga has been a ride. I did it the wrong way 'round, of course. I'd put off reading Brandon Sanderson, because I didn't want to commit to a big fantasy series. But then I read Alloy of Law and was hooked. Fantasy that wasn't all sword and sorcery? Cool! I finished off what I thought was a second trilogy and eventually made my way through the first trilogy while waiting for the announced fourth book of Wax and Wayne. The first three Mistborn books also managed to upend my expectations and I really enjoyed discovering the ancient mythology that drove the more modern world of Wax and Wayne. But this book confounded me. Maybe I needed to reread or review The Bands of Mourning (and even Shadows of Self) to understand who was who and what was what and how we managed to have 400 year old mythic characters stomping around in the industrial age and messing it up. And who are all these other Cosmere folks? I sort of understand what Sanderson wanted to do with this book. But it didn't do it for me. ( )
