It was a interesting journey so far. I've read all the Saint of steel books before starting this one so I knew more about the mechanics and the world and it has been fun so far. it feels like a bit of an abrupt ending, and maybe the 2 books could be one. But only can be certain of that when I finish the sequel.

I liked it. The only thing that felt odd was the fight with Cassius laster wel 2 sentences, and something with his hearth and the poison was implied but don't understand what that added. I like how the book subverted the trope with the hidden sibling. And that she actually helped in the end. Oh and Cassius gives Kelsier vibes.
I loved Margret in the first book and when I saw she was the one of the main protagonist of this book I was excited! and luckily the book did not disappoint. I think it is my favorite so far of this series.
Only thing that I found weird was Judith. She has not been mentioned much until this book (to my memory) and knowing she will close this series of felt a bit rushed suddenly.
I started reading it because I wanted the ability to say, when I saw the movie, that the book is better. I had it on my TBR for a year. I am glad I read it, but I should have sooner! The book was amazing! My favorite sci-fi book I've read so far!
The only thing I wrote down is not really a negative, but was that I found the children at the beginning of the book to act a bit too young for their age. But that might be the difference between the US and NL. Speaking of Dutch (this is going to be about the movie), Eva Stratt being portrayed by a German actress is disappointing. I liked her in the book. But in the movie trailer, there is more of a German accent than a Dutch one. So, not a win for Dutch representation.
