I cried far too much for a chapter about a statue with a plaque talking about how no one ever regretted giving it an extra shake. It was a really slow start for me, and I do feel like I didn't fully catch a lot of the Cosmere world-building, and to keep myself moving I sometimes skimmed those parts. Wayne and Steris are by far and away my favorite characters...and this book confirmed this fact. I really liked how Wayne's character was given a lot of extra depth in this book, beyond simply being the comic relief, which he continued as well. This was a successful conclusion to this arc and I did very much enjoy, even though it was a bit of work for me to complete.
