Hit the last third to quarter of the book and it’s spectacular. Before this I have been mildly interested, finishing the story out of trust that this would happen (and needing - like the loregoblin I am - the rest of the cosmological clues herein contained).
Can’t wait to finish!

Sanderson’s repetition of information is getting me in this one.
I also feel like it’s flat where Mistborn shone and Stormlight blinds.
I have yet to be terribly surprised and don’t feel like the conflicts with which the main characters are struggling are terribly interesting.
Absolutely finishing it because I know the end will be incredible and may redeem itself in the interim besides.

Middle of chapter 12.
Off to a good start. And much of the cosmological consequences and connections are clicking into place.
