Disappointing. Feels like an early draft that needs another go over.
I generally like historical fantasy, so this sounded like something I would enjoy. The reviews were generally not very positive, so I lowered my expectations, which might have helped. I thought this was fun to read
4,5/5
Great little story. Not a single boring page to be found in that book.
Sanderson is my favorite author but unfortunately this one didn't really work for me. It is initially pretty interesting and I liked the humor, but I just think the things Sanderson is best at - character, plot, reveals, worldbuilding, magic- are all severely lacking here. The humor got old fast in the face of rising stakes. The book is not bad by any means, but it's a bad Sanderson book to me. I appreciate him trying something new and I know some people will really enjoy what this is, but by the second half I was basically forcing myself to finish.
4/10
