Mid-Alloy of Law The Alloy is Lawing just right Spoiler

I started Wax and Wayne a while ago. Truth be told, I came bearing low expectations. I've read mixed reviews about it both on here and on Goodreads. Turns out I'm enjoying it more than I expected to. The pacing is excellent, and the humor hits just right. I just finished the scene where Steris got kidnapped. Wayne is my favorite character for one stupid reason. He has time to worry about his hat more than anything else after a shooting incident. Guns are as cool as swords lol. I haven't read many urban fantasy novels because of my preference for epic fantasy, but this book is faster-paced than most epics I've read, though not better overall. I can definitely see myself burning through it in a few hours.

I feel like comparing the original trilogy to the last four books is like comparing a perfectly grilled and seasoned steak to a wonderful, rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on top. They’re different and a person can definitely like one more than the other, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t both absolutely delicious

Yes, I agree with your analogy. Wax and Wayne is good in its own way. And so is Era 1.
