Soooo, this book.
In a few words, it was good.
Now, for a more detailed explanation:
I was really invested in the story from the very beginning. The concept of the main character not knowing who he is is really fun and interesting. That was one of my favorite parts – discovering more and more of his old memories and his identity. I really enjoyed that.
Halfway through, the book got a bit boring. I didn't really care for the characters or their world.
The last chapters were great. I started feeling interested in the story again. It got really exciting, and I started feeling love for the characters.
I really loved the ending; it was awesome.
The main character made me cringe several times. His personality is weird, but I felt love for him in the end. I think he's great. I like him.
The concept of being able to purchase dimensions is very cool and amazing, and it could be expanded in the future. I love how the world is influenced by this. There are reality TV shows where people travel to other dimensions, club memberships, etc.
It makes it feel more realistic. It was a nice detail.
The technology is also cool and intriguing.
I particularly loved the art – ABSOLUTELY creative and very, very, VERY funny! I applaud the artist for their wonderful work. It made the book a million times better.
Overall, I'd say this book is good and fun. It's very short and easy to read. I wouldn't say it's one of Sanderson's best works, but it's good and entertaining. A cool concept nicely executed.
