By now it feels like every Mistborn book is the same. Wax does cool things and Wayne is sometimes there too but does not as many cool things while Maserati (it's what I call her) gets screentime while being extremely boring.
The real saviour of this book is Steris. I love her. I am glad she is in there albeit doesn't get much exposition at all (but when she does it's fun!)
Overall the usual Sanderlanche experience where I was falling asleep in the beginning and coulldn't put it down near the end. Although in this one it is a lot less touching (especially since he didn't really die).
Reading it with my book club is fun at least, else I would have given up on it completely (like I did with era 1). Overall an okay book but nothing special, a bland pizza that I'd still eat but forget once it's done and gone.

While the earlier books in the Wax & Wayne series are a mix of western, Sherlock Holmes and Batman, The Bands of Mourning goes hard on the treasure seeking adventures of Indians Jones and I loved every second. Great book with great pacing, just a fun little adventure that I had a great time with. Excited to read the last part of the saga soon!
