The Bands of Mourning

Very engaging and managed to expand not only Scadrial, but the Cosmere in general.
I already have a million theories about Trell, the next book etc.

I didn't give it 5 stars, because I continue to feel like one of our POV characters is a cardboard cutout. I find absolutely nothing of interest in Marasi. Each time I read from her POV, I feel like I've been forced to endure a very boring work meeting.

I also didn't like how convoluted the outcome of the last big battle was. Wax agreeing to duel his stupid uncle? For what? You wait until the guy disables the bomb and pull the old "just kidding" and blast push the bastard off the plane. And you're done.

Other than that, I can't wait for The Lost Metal!

P.S.: I just KNEW it was Kelsier and not the Lord Ruler who helped the "new" race. There was no way the Lord Ruler wouldn't have joined the battle against Ruin had he been around, considering how extensively he prepared for it and how much he knew. The question is, where is Kelsier now? Did he really fall dead?
