This one made me smile. Quality little jaunt in the multiverse. Neat world in the cosmere with a story that helps resolve and will move forward some characters. Quirky, unique, and cute. Don't read too deep into it, just enjoy the ride.

I like books that end. I mean they are sad because you say farewell but it's a good thing. I am glad to have had the opportunity to enjoy this world building. It was a unique magic system with unique interactions and some very memorable characters.
Overall the pacing of the book felt about spot on. Some character development or utility seem marginalized but it's ok, we have a plot to unravel and sh*t to do so they had to plow on.

I did find it funny just how much in frightening situations they use an 'Oh god..' kind of context when realistically I …

I did find it funny just how much in frightening situations they use an 'Oh god..' kind of context when realistically I never felt much if any religiosity within the whole trilogy to create an indoctrinated approach to the concept. They did however have enough rock-and-rolling environments to create explicates that I could appreciate. hehe!
Thanks RJB for another wild ride.
