Didn't quite spark as much joy for me as most Brandon Sanderson books. Definitely felt like he read [b:Timeline|7669|Timeline|Michael Crichton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405420745l/7669._SY75_.jpg|1525987] and [b:How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler|39026990|How to Invent Everything A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler|Ryan North|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529337641l/39026990._SY75_.jpg|59373077] and decided to merge them with a sassy first-person point of view from [b:Project Hail Mary|54493401|Project Hail Mary|Andy Weir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597695864l/54493401._SY75_.jpg|79106958]. Which is fine, I liked all of those books individually, but didn't feel quite as creative as maybe it was intended.

Silly, fun, kind of clearly an early pandemic project done while stir-crazy locked up at home. Would make a cool D&D premise.
