I wasn't a huge Wax fan because he seemed to be pretty 1 dimensional as a main protagonist, but I thought Wayne was fantastically done from start to finish.

Additionally I thought Sanderson did a good job in not only skipping through time, but adjusting to a main character who couldn't use all of the powers, and was limited to two. This mixed with the western vibe was probably a difficult change of pace for some, but other than Wax being predictable, I found them to be just as good as the original trilogy regardless of the stakes.
