I liked it, but it definitely wasn't my favorite Sanderson book I've read. The point of this book (according to the author's note) was to give some background about the meta plot happening across the Cosmere (Sanderson's multiverse) but it made it hard to understand/enjoy the book if you haven't read some specific other books.
Before picking up this book, I'd recommend reading:
All of the Stormlight Archive series
Dawnshard
Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell
Arcanum Unbounded
Mistborn series 1 and 2
Basically, he ran in to the problem of needing to reference lots of specific backstory, which took away from the story for me. But it was still entertaining! This is one I would only recommend to a die-hard Sanderson fan.

Some violence and stuff but nothing crazy.
