Not what I expected.
I have both seen and read many negative reviews, so did not go into reading this book with high hopes.
I was very happily surprised.
The story, like Tress, is fast passed, with a very warm found family vibe.
Although, same as with Hoit, I found the humor a little to much teenage boy, that really is my only negative.
As usual for Sanderson I found the world very interesting, even though we only got a glimpse of it. To be expected though with such a short book.
I know that some found the book within a book irritating. For me, it was the type of humor brake I needed to keep the lighthearted vibe.
It was also a nice refreshing change to be out of the cosmere for a while.
One last thing to mention, the illustrations are fantastic.
