Sanderson delivers once again. Wax is a great and strange character. The balance Brandon has created in this second Mistborn series between the characters is fabulous. There's not really romance, partially due to the ages of the interested parties and their own emotional states, but the tension and empathy (or lack thereof) among them is so real. I love pretty much everyone in this book. Even the bad guys.
