While in many ways, this book is the antithesis of Mistborn, it still feels so much like Mistborn in a way that I didn't realize I had missed from Sanderson's writing style. The stakes and story are just as epic with this being part of the Cosmere, but it feels much more self-contained. A really enjoyable read!

Not much to say about this one. It’s a good entry in the series, but like all the recent entries, things are happening without it really changing much overall. Still fun.

I enjoyed this, but I didn’t love it. It’s an engaging read, but the plot is a little meandering and I’m not sure it all ever fully came together for me. That being said, there’s a lot to like and the world created is very interesting with a lot of thought and intention put behind it.

There’s really not much to set this one apart from other entries in the series. If you’re really looking at reviews of book 13 to decide whether to continue on, probably best to just drop it. A decent entry, but really minimal forward plot movement.

Aside than being far too long, still a solid entry in the series. Definitely one that I’ll see through to the end.

Wow, what a ride! I thought this series had a lot of potential after book 1, and Scott Reintgen really delivered here! The first book I think set readers up for disappointment and suffered from being labeled as “dark academia” while being compared to the Scholomance series when it really wasn’t that at all. Now that we’re fully away from the school setting, the rest of the world that’s been created here can really shine. It remains to be seen whether the series will stick the landing, but I’m really looking forward to seeing how the trilogy concludes!
