- Strong character development? Yes
3.5
I'll be honest, this wasn't my favorite Sanderson book. I loved the concept of time travel and the fact that the main character was dropped into a dimension and didn't have any idea who he was. If anyone is going to keep you guessing it'll be Sanderson, but I just wasn't fully hooked. I like the mix of modernity with a bit of the medieval vibe. I also loved when the vibe switched to the disclaimers and FAQ'S. The tone for those was so funny and lighthearted and I found myself enjoying those more than the plot of the book. I couldn't get attached to any of the characters and I think that was part of my downfall. Overall, it was a pretty quick read but I just wasn't fully invested.
