Not as fluid as the previous 3 books. It felt like

the idea of the cosmere was created during this book so all the context around it had to be added in. At times it was too much and either broke the flow of the book or made it feel like a filler for the next novel in the series.

I can't believe I was lucky enough to forget half the twists in the ending before rereading this one. What a great book. It's a slow burn, and there's a lot of different threads, but I'll be damned if I wasn't invested in the characters.
