I’m personally (judge me lest ye be judged in various other ways) not a fan of kelsier. I’d work for the guy in revolution but I don’t think I could be his friend. With that being said, 300 + years as a cognitive shadow after having only held Preservation for a little bit, he can’t be able to hold on as long as other shadows and maybe he’s going off the rails.
Not that I want Kelsier to be “evil” I just wouldn’t be surprised if he was…the good guy so long he saw himself become the bag guy…oof.
Good points mentioned though and it’s too riddled with holes.
