4.5

 
Full of loveable characters, mystery and intrigue from the get go and yet again another creative and unique magic system from Sanderson. Yumi & The Nightmare Painter was everything I was hoping it would be. 

My only critique would be that the pacing felt quite slow to start (but this seems to be the standard with this author!) but once we got going everything flowed beautifully and I couldn’t put it down. 

I need more fantasy books with art magic!  

4.5 stars
