A review by emilyb_chicago
The Original by Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal

5.0

WHAT AN AMAZING NOVELLA. Read this book without reading the summary!

I downloaded this on audio before a plane ride without knowing anything more than I like both of these authors (Brandon Sanderson AND Mary Robinette Kowal, I also adore Julia Whelan as a narrator - she is so talented.).

What a joy ride it was from the first intense sentence to the final scenes. The main character wakes up not knowing anything in their world and we discovered it together. I felt like I was stepping through the world with her and adored having each curtain torn away at as we raced to figure out the next thing.

I listened to it again IMMEDIATELY as I wanted to catch all the little things I knew these authors must of tucked away in the story.
