It's funny that this was my first Brandon Sanderson book, right? I absolutely loved it! The world building was breathtaking, and I personally felt Tress's emotions as it drew me back into the reality of her situation after getting so lost in the fantasy and humor.

Cups are great but have you tried pirating?

It’s just an enjoyable read. This is my first Sanderson novel—I know, shocking. And I might try the Mistborn series because I enjoyed this read. The characters are bizarre and unique, but still endearing. I found the narrator fun and even though I guessed the twist mid-story, I still enjoyed the ending. Read this if you like unlikely heroes, found family and adventure/pirates.
