I think this is my favorite of the Wax and Wayne series so far! There are so many Cosmere connections in this book and they were by far my favorite part. We learned so much more about this world and its implications for the Cosmere at large. I do think this focus on worldbuilding did lead to less character focus and development. Some of it was still there, particularly in Steris, but I wish there was more. I don't feel as connected as I do to the characters in Stormlight. This book just gave me more questions and I'm so excited to learn more and dive into Lost Metal.
Though when when Wax died, I felt sad for Wax but HEARTBROKEN for Wayne. Wayne is the best character in Era 2 in my opinion and I want him to be okay. . Also, it was annoying how no one died in this book. I get why, but come on. Wax says he isn't an executioner so he doesn't want to kill his uncle, but he kills people all the time for no remorse Particularly for character development, I do wish there was more of Marasi. She says how she is going on her own path away from Wax, but what is that? She seems sure of it, but I have no idea what she is talking about.
Though when

Loved it. The threat of the overarching BBEG for Era 2 really started to click in for me in this book, and I loved the character moments and relationship developments.
