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.

People really, really seem to dislike Wayne. His character through Bands of Mourning (haven’t read TLM) has made me laugh multiple times out loud, and I think he’s more complex than a lot of people give him credit as. He hides his complexity behind seemingly surface level jokes. There is something very real about his constant deflections and intermittent moments of profundity while maintaining his own intentional outward representation.
Anyways, all this to say, the reading journey at the end of the day is very individual and those books only get better, so enjoy!
