This series excels at dissecting the complex relationship between evidence and faith. Faced with the end of the world, we see how every character questions their roles, and works through what being a hero means to them. It has a lot of dark themes, and is definitely deep thought stirring, but it did get a bit repetitive by the end. With many of the characters having gone through a lot of character development in the earlier books, there wasn't much further for them to go. This made the focus of the few remaining characters' growth a little too in your face and kind of stale by the end. The characters are very lovable, but I kept hoping to have everyone in the same place again (I wanted my crew back together!). Definitely a good series, but I'm excited to see how Sanderson grows as an author in his later series of the Cosmere.

An epic ending! I’m sad that my time with these characters is officially over. 

Every time it was Sazed POV I couldn’t help thinking “that’s me in the spot light losing my religion”
