2024: I think this is my favorite Cosmere book. Maybe rivaled by Tress. I love all the characters, the unique setting, the interpersonal relationships, the politics, and the magic. Also loved the cameos from
Hoid and Khriss
. I think she wrote the notes about the metallic arts in the end, too?

2022: The character growth for the main four was awesome. MeLaan is the coolest immortal. This book was laugh out loud funny in quite a few places and I throughly enjoyed it all!
