I'm giving it a tiny bit of a lower rating because I found it a bit slow in pace at the beginning and middle and it was hard to be engaged. However it really picked up at the end, loved the twists at the end in true SJM fashion, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

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!
