Mistborn Era 2 is possibly one of my least favorite series within the Cosmere, and yet I am vibrating intensely to finally read the last book in a couple days.

It's not that the series is...bad, per se. (Although it is annoyingly pro-cop in parts.) It's just...a fun, silly series. It doesn't feel like it has the gravitas of the other Cosmere books.

Plus I don't like Wax very much as a character.

I think one of the things that bugs me about the series is that, 3 books in and we barely know anything about the Set or what it's motives or capabilities are.

Which is meant to be the driving mystery of the whole thing, but since we don't learn...really anything about them until near the end of the last book, it doesn't have the same hook as a traditional mystery.

We're told a lot about them, but the only thing we ever actually see, aside from Suit showing up to gloat, are some fairly unimportant and ineffectual Allomancers.

So they come across less as this mysterious cabal pulling strings from the shadows and more melodramatic idiots with delusions of grandeur.
