Probably the least enjoyable Brandon Sanderson book I've read so far.
You'll probably LOVE this is you like the Cosmere tie-in stuff, I thought I did, but after seeing how a story can be negatively affected by having intergalactic space agents constantly interfering, reviving dead characters and sucking the stakes out of the plot by inflating its scale, I'm not looking forward to more multiverse stuff.
Also, Sanderson's disdain for global south sovereigntist movements, seen through the way he wrote the Malwish, is also very much not welcome.
And the Ghostbloods plotline was too similar to Shallan's arc in Stormlight Archives to draw me in

the way i get so attached to fictional characters and worlds is concerning

"Wayne. You aren't the best I could do. You're the best there is. And no being, neither god nor mortal, could have wished for more than one such as you."

Wraps up Wax and Waynes story up in a little bow. A little more fighting scenes in this one so I tuned out a couple times but still so enjoyable
