I have a complicated relationship with Sanderson, but this book was one I really enjoyed.
This is the final book in the Wax and Wayne series, so it'll be difficult to explain much without too many spoilers, but it takes place six years after the end of Bands of Mourning and war is brewing once again.
I loved the relationship dynamics of all kinds in this - Wax and Wayne probably being my favorite, but also loving Marasi and some new friends she makes in this book, Steris is a delight and I've loved seeing her character growth throughout this. Just fantastic in the way of relationships.
I also really enjoyed seeing all of the interesting Cosmere things come up in this book. It'll be interesting to see how all of that comes into play later or otherwise.
Also even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, I'm still sad by it, but it was satisfying regardless.
All in all, a fantastic end to a good series.

Sanderson did it again. I definitely think that the second era isn't as good as the first, but this book? Spectacular. I ended up crying (which I didn't expect) and enjoyed the ending. I was not expecting some of the things that happened and I really can't wait to see where era three goes!
