Continue to enjoy the things about this series that I enjoy, and be vaguely frustrated by the connections to the wider cosmere that aren't fully explained because I hate not knowing things
I am SO SAD about Wayne's death even though I knew it was coming, and I am glad to know more about the Ghost Bloods even if I don't feel like I know enough yet. Autonomy is very interesting, and I can absolutely see a future where she and Odium come to blows. I wish we got to know more about the world's that have pantheons made up completely of splinters of her

Some great character growth and a plot that befits the ending of a Mistborn era. But the Cosmere crossover felt a bit intense at the end (and this is coming from someone who has read all of the other Cosmere series).
3/5 stars per Goodreads' "I liked it".
As a Brandon Sanderson Cosmere book, it just didn't wow me as much as I've come to expect. It was certainly better than Elantris but not as good as Final Empire, Way of Kings, or Warbreaker. Unlike most of the earlier books, I think this one suffers if you haven't read most of the other Cosmere books, and the way that characters are starting to crossover between series is getting pretty MCU-ish, and not exactly in a good way for me.
The main plot line was quite a bit more 'super-hero' than 'Victorian detective', as opposed to the other Wax and Wayne books, which I found disappointing too.
I think I'll need to let it digest and process some more of my feelings, but overall I think it was just ok.

Didn't feel quite like the biggest ever house of cards crashing down on me and I have a lot of unanswered questions that are rather frustrating for the end of an era.
