See allWow. What a fantastic ending to the trilogy. I wasn't sure what I wanted out of the final book, but I got it. I felt like my memory was put to the test quite a lot as this book had me recalling past information and turning it on its head. In the end, I got very emotional but the ending was a beautiful one. A fantastic end to what may now be my favorite book and one of my favorite series.
I thought it had quite a lot more lulls in the story compared to the other entries, but it always pulled you back in. A lot of growth/potential growth for Wax & co. So many plot threads and stone left unturned heading into the next entry that it felt like a tunnel to the next entry rather than its own. Either way I still had a good time with this and look forward to reading the next.
I thought this book was good for the first entry in the trilogy. I found the pacing and character progression to be lacking but for now, I'll chalk it up to it being the first book in a trilogy. I'll re-evaluate my opinion once I have the full picture. Until then, I'll say this book did its job of making me interested enough to continue on.
Quite a different experience from the first trilogy of the Mistborn saga but a really good one. I was unsure about getting used to a new set of characters, but I came away loving this main cast. The setting and the use of magic in a more modern Mistborn world were mad interesting. Looking forward to where Wax goes from here.

A wonderful beginning to this trilogy. Foundryside drops you into an interesting society with an even more interesting magic system as it's backbone. You navigate that society, Tevanne, with a delightfuly fucked up cast of characters who are all affected by its issues. Loved it!
