Normally I don’t write reviews for Sanderson’s works because I don’t feel I have much to add to the plethora of other commentary you can find wherever you look. I don’t have a lot to add here either but I wanted to rave a bit. This book is so sweet, funny, cozy (while still being adventurous and frightening at times), hopeful, and overall: EXTREMELY cool. As with any Sanderson book, the world building and magic system are incredibly creative, intriguing, and immersive. Tress may be my favorite book heroine of all time. The voice of the book in its entirety was a delight to read: not too schlocky, just enough schlock to be laugh out loud funny. I feel like I could take on the world after reading it. (Right after I nap, because, as may be appropriate for a book borne out of inspiration from The Princess Bride, I read this whole book while sick.)
5 stars forever. I want more books in this world, Brandon! There’s like 9 seas we haven’t seen yet!
Oh and this edition? Unbelievably gorgeous. Howard Lyons’s illustrations were absolutely breathtaking. Reading this edition made the reading experience that much more special.
