I love the industrialization era of a fantasy world with all its problems but also inventions. I love how the magic is adapting to that. I love the atmosphere. And I really enjoyed the mystery in this one. Trying to catch an assassin is much more interesting than trying to catch a thief.
I managed to guess the culprit, but there were so many surprises along the way and some wtf moments at the end. I'm really curious how the story will continue.

The plot and characters for this were tropey. A lot of predictable twists at the end. Th main characters are all still rather typical archetypes. But it's a fun read. My real issue is that I'm just unsure what Sanderson might have meant as a theme in this book. I think he was trying for nuance, but instead he sends mixed messages.
