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.

Such a change from the other Sanderson books I've read. There was no "sanderlanch" and it was not a quadrillion pages long. Instead, it had a very steady pace of action and character development throughout. The ending, although not a huge surprise, was nevertheless satisfying to read.
I enjoyed the voice of Tress and other characters. The only reason I am not giving this book a 5 star rating is because of Hoit. I found his humour just a little to juvenile.
