This is my least favourite book in the era 1 trilogy—which isn’t to say that it’s a bad book! I still very much love this, but compared to The Final Empire, it does feel quite slow in some parts. Specifically, the Straff subplots kinda take up more time than feels warranted in relation to the actual relevance and payoff of that little arc there. 
That being said, all the other character and plot arcs are great. I have so many feelings about these characters, I wanna scream. The Sanderlanche is as wild as ever, and god I love them all so much 😭❤️
