While beautifully illustrated the story didn’t bring to much to the table for me. I didn’t feel connected to the characters and throughout I was only continuing for the illustrations.
I do think the story could be really good for some people, I just wasn’t who this was written for. I do think the art style is spectacular and even though I didn’t enjoy the story the illustrations left me in awe.
I can’t say I really liked this book but I also didn’t hate it. I think this is extremely character driven which is nice and all but I think for me as a reader I enjoy more imagery in stories like these. I am definitely more into a first person account experiencing the fantasy world, getting it from like third person feels less interesting.
Another big factor was I didn’t care at all about what was happening until like 30% and even then I felt uninterested in reading more the entire time. I thought the plot was good and the characters good but that’s kinda it. Like this book just didn’t hit.
I can definitely see why people like it though. I won’t be continuing with the series nor will I buy another Sanderson book~ he is not an author I wish to support. If it weren’t for this being my book club book I wouldn’t have read it.
A friend recommended this to me and oh man this was a fun read! It is definitely dated with the representation the characters have, one lady in all of the code breakers feels inaccurate since women have had a pretty good standing as code breakers since wwii.
Aside from that though it read like a movie and was pretty comical throughout. I would recommend this definitely for people who are interested in coding/ cyber related dramas.
The writing is amazing, the plot is amazing, the ending amazing, everything was so freaking perfect about this book!
The entire beginning I was extremely confused and in like the last 20-30 % it was all clicking and I love when books are written like this because I makes me want to reread everything instantly ><
Low key need fanfic of some character 🫣
The first book Gideon the Ninth was amazing as was this so these are must reads in my opinion!!
