Her aunt Sol had once told Shai to smile at the worst insults and snap at the minor ones. That way, no man would know your heart.
Oh, how much I've yearned to read the GOAT Brando Sando. This novella was recommended to me as an entry point. Well, consider me entered!
This was a remarkable read. Coming into it, I knew Brandy Sandy's magic systems didn't disappoint. But the Forgery work was so satisfying to savor through the pages. And so many philosophical questions about that world and our world arise. Chiefly among them—what makes something art?
“If you were the wall, what would you rather be? Dreary and dull, or alive with paint?” “Walls can’t think!” “That doesn’t stop them from caring.”

“True art was more than beauty; it was more than technique. It was not just imitation.”
Phenomenal. The magic and the mechanics are clearly crafted by a talented hand, and the plot is a tightly-woven testament to the writer's skill, but it's the two lead characters that make this book come to life so authentically. They breathe, they believe, they - well, they have souls.

My first dip into the Cosmere-verse and it was certainly a interesting one at that. Did this as a buddy read, which was a bit of a failure, but mostly because this was something I devoured and didn't have a lot of on-going commentary/thought on.
The magical system seems REALLY interesting and I'm hoping to add some more Sanderson to my TBR.
