Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.

The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metal minds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.

Very entertaining, although I was disappointed that it still wasn't the conclusion of the second era. More yet to come.

In terms of character development it was quite expected, following a default narrative. I had no problem with that, it makes for easily digestible reading. Just the way Marasi suddenly got over Wax was a bit too convenient and it felt like lazy writing.

But I will definitely follow the next Mistborn novels. And I am at last intrigued enough to care about the Cosmere.
