A disappointing conclusion to the series. The characters are still fun, the locales in the trilogy are very creative (city of steel, city of water, city of salt), and the action sequences are mostly good (except for a couple “boss fights” that had lame endings)… But the big reveal was underwhelming, somewhat non-sensical, and created more questions than answers. The first book was so tightly paced and opened the door to so many exciting possibilities, but this final book didn’t take full advantage of those, and seemed more sloppy than I was expecting from Sanderson.
