5.0

Sanderson used a really unique perspective while writing this book that I appreciated - first person from the perspective of a side character. This led to some really humorous and enriching prose that made this book a 5 ✨ for me. Without it, I think it would be a 4.5, as I loved each character, the "found family" trope, and the whole adventure story, but Hoid's commentary and quirky, uplifting remarks, added flavor I didn't expect and brought the book to a solid 5. 
Can't wait to read the rest of Sanderson's secret projects!
