I liked it - it was nice having the Brando Sando writing outside of the Cosmere. The mix of sci-fi and fantasy that this book had was super fun, even if it didn’t feel as epic as some of his other novels. And the MC turned out to NOT be a cop. To quote the MC, “4 and a half stars” 😊

I struggled to get into the premise. It felt slow and the humor wasnt for me.

In a departure from his usual approach to fantasy, Frugal Wizard felt like something very different for Sanderson.  Sadly, it missed the mark for me. 

The story felt confused and mismatched. I didn’t like any of the characters, and I wasn’t really interested in finding out how the plot turned out. 

Similar to Tress, there were some big attempted strides into comedy that felt influenced by Terry Pratchett.
