I liked this one more despite its divisiveness among Brandon Sanderson's work. It helps that I enjoyed this narration style which is definitely a make or break for this book. With all the non-Cosmere books, I do feel like this story was rather surface-level, which is fine for what it is but it is why I enjoy the Cosmere books more.

This one was fun! It veered into sci-fi more than fantasy, but I liked the mythology tie-ins. I don't think I can quite give it five stars, and it definitely wasn't as impactful emotionally as some of his other books, but I enjoyed listening to it.
