I thought this one started slow and I didn't particularly like any of the characters. However things really picked up, and there was a lot of good character development as it went alone. This was easily the best of the 3 Secret project books so far.
I've heard it mentioned this is his best stand alone Cosmere book as well, and while it's been a while since I've read the others, I may have to agree with that sentiment as well.
Overall I thought this was a good story with some interesting magical elements (as per usual for me with a Sanderson book). There are some nice easter eggs in there for people who have read other books (likely including some I missed), but one that can easily be approached by someone who has never read anything in the series (or by Brandon Sanderson for that matter).
The audio was excellent as always. Despite the story being “told by Hoid”, it made sense to have the 2 narrators cover one of the protagonist's POVs. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are always favorites of mine.
They even make a decent effort at describing some of the artwork throughout the book. However since I also got the pdf for this book, I made it a point to go check out the excellent images after the fact.
