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.

I think Wayne is now my favourite character in fiction.
