The penultimate chapter of the Sun Eater--- and it delivers.
An undisputed masterpiece of science fiction. Everything is moving towards the ultimate climax of the story, and while the story is fast paced, it also slows enough to breath, to let us in Hadrian's deep inner thoughts, to get to know new characters, and some that are not so new.
Cannot say much without spoilers, but this might be the best book yet--which is saying a lot given how fantastic Howling Dark, and Demon in White were.
Ruocchio is exploring vast themes with the series--from the nature of mankind, its relationship with the universe, and the nature of the cosmos itself.
5 STARS....5 GIGANTIC SUN EATER SUNS!
Full disclosure, I did read an earc of this book, but I purchased it for $14.99 from the publishers website. It was worthy every penny.
A fitting conclusion for Wax and Wayne, that will be better on a reread. There are some cosmere characters and references that I did not quite get at first, and while I get a good easter egg, having it detract from the story to figure out, or having it essential for the story is a bit annoying. (I thought I had read everything I needed to before this, but missed a couple of short stories/novellas).
That being said, I love Wax and Wayne as characters, and their develop of their relationship over four books as friends, detectives, and ultimately defenders of the realm have been quite a ride.
Mistborn Era 2's strength is it characters.
Mistborn Era 3 has a high bar set for it, as it does the rest of the cosmere. This universe is amazingly special with unique places, themes, and characters.

Sci-Fi Noir with a gumshoe that kicks a** and a great cast of characters. Few twists and turns, and world that is gray, futuristic, but reads like it is a 40's Noir film.
Loved it. Did the audiobook and the narrator gave a fantastic performance. Would love to see this continue as a series, not sure if it will or not (GR is is listing it as Titanium Noir #1, so I guess we will see).
4.5 STARS
Well written and a suitable prequel to the classic.
The change of perspective for Part III was a bit jarring, I felt it would have worked better if it had been told in the journal/flashback style of the rest of the book.
Overall a very fine horror novel, and if you are into the Dracula legend at all, it is a very worthy read.
