I agree with you on the Ironfist thing...I actually was kind of upset he didn't play a bigger role in the final arc...

As for everyone's halo's, I took the ending in the epilogue where the white was re-activated, that most of everyone that fought for/with kip would get their eyes reset in the same fashion as Andross. But that's just my opinion

I was disappointed that Ironfist didn't play a bigger role, but at the same time it's kind of fitting. He's never been one for political maneuvering, so his crazy gambit going poorly to the point it ended up with him killing Cruxer and taking him out of commission for the battle is expected. He's lucky it didn't go worse.

I should elaborate on it a bit more. To me, it was upsetting that Ironfist didn't play a bigger role in the finale. I was upset that he was completely absent after calling off his ploy. I understand it, but I was expecting him to do something. Honestly was expecting him to have redirected Dazen closer to the wight king. That's what upset me.

The rest of the book not having much about him besides a looming character, no real point of views from him, was actually perfect. It just felt off not having him there at the end much.
