5.0

This was my first Brandon Sanderson novel and I was immediately taken by the rich world-building, unique voice/narration, and how quickly I came to care for these characters. It felt like the Princess Bride (as the novel’s explicit inspiration), but I also felt a nostalgia for something in the Narnia series as well. An excellent read.
