The ending was really good but WOW this book could have been half the length. It was so repetitive - particularly at the beginning. Each character had the same repeating thoughts:

Vin: "The mists are changing! They seem different. They aren't what they were before. The mists don't feel like a friend anymore."

Sazed: "Religions are bogus. They keep contradicting themselves. I don't have faith anymore. I don't like religions. They're all the same."

Every new chapter was the same exact thoughts/monologue.

The end was fabulous though.
