This is a really fun blend of sci-fi and fantasy with a great twist. I really enjoyed exploring the world and the main character as their mysteries were revealed.

It started out kind of confusing and slow, but about a third of the way through it started picking up and I did enjoy it. It’s not my favorite of Sanderson’s worldbuilding- it was a bit confusing and some parts

like people from Earth having a weird effect on beings from the book’s dimension

didn’t make a ton of sense- but overall it was enjoyable and fun. I always love a character finally standing up for themselves and becoming a new person, and John’s character development was really good. It’s almost 4 stars, but because I still feel confused it’s not quite there.

I am an eternal B Sands stan, but this wasn't really it for me. I liked the format of the special edition I have, and the concept is sound. But some of the themes didn't quite land.
