Pretty much everything I've come to expect from this series, and wrapped things up nicely. I'm a little sad I listened on 2.5x speed because that made it end too soon. ( )

This book was a really fun. Not my favorite of the series. I still love book two the most. I love all the unexpected twists and turns that sent this book to it ending. I do think the ending was a tad rushed but it was fun read. The world really was build so well and this book made it very complicated as well.
I LOVE THE CHARACTER OF DAVID AS WELL!

Oh goodness, I have to say this book left me disappointed. I found it to be a hot mess. Nowhere near the first book. The ending was completely meh. I really like Brandon Sanderson but I have been putting off reading this book because I had a feeling after the second book I wasn't going to enjoy it. If this had been the first book I am not even sure I would have read on. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't for me. ( )

Unexpected twist at the end. I should probably re-read the entire series, since so much time went between my reading of the first and second book.

The metaphors were over the top as usual, so if that's your thing, you'll like it. I didn't care for that particular character quirk.

Interesting premise overall. Is this part of the Cosmere? I didn't think Earth was... ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For Kaylynn ZoBell
A writer, reader, critiquer, and friend,
who has spent ten years in a writing group
with a bunch of loudmouths
and still raises her hand politely to make comments,
instead of murdering us.
(Thanks for all the help over the years, Kaylynn!)
