Wayne has always been a great character, but altering this book’s focus made it so much more impactful upon his death. Even though he and wax are finished, he’ll stay the funniest character in the cosmere for some time.

Good, but weaker than the rest of the series in most regards. I think the action, villain, and pacing might be a step down, but the main cast shines brighter than ever, the epilogues are great, and the “cosmere awareness” was a lot of fun. I could rant, but I won’t. Solid read, endings are hard.
