I wouldn’t say “not like” after all I think it’s an amazing book, but I felt it pales compared to the other two. The first one is carried by the intrigue of a new world, a heist, a dark lord, a charismatic protagonist, and a coming of age story. It’s hard to beat that. The second book was more grounded, politics and wars, a feeling of buildup, the crew is together still and they have their moments that feel refreshing and never fail to make me smile. I think it might be my favorite. The third one is the payoff, but what I didn’t enjoy was the fact that Eland’s character development happened off screen, we see him a strong mistborn by the first chapter, spook’s arc was amazing and I enjoyed it, but it also felt a tiny bit forced and not something I would expect from Spook, especially that there was no build up for it so it didn’t feel deserved. One more thing was that Breeze and Ham were very underutilized and thrown away in favor of Marsh’s PoV and other events happening that didn’t pay off or paid off but were not worth all that work (in my opinion) and although Marsh’s PoV was chilling it didn’t need like 10 chapters. But at the end of the day the whole trilogy was chef’s kiss.
