I think I’m not who this book is written for. I agree with the general statement the book wants to get across. However I found myself wanting to see it challenged, which you could argue means I missed the entire point of the book!

The book is comfy, cozy, warm. It will not go any deeper than the surface.

I think “Psalm for the Wild-Built” was significantly better than “Prayer for the Crown-shy” and worth a read, it felt focused and I enjoyed seeing dex struggle with his feelings

Which I think is why “Prayer for the Crown-Shy” was so frustrating because it felt like the main duo regressed and I’m now just reading an almost worse version of what I just read

We always love more Lift, I think if I didn’t read this I might be confused going into the third book of the stormlight archives since a good chunk of character development happens in this one, luckily it is accompanied by a great story.

Amazing world building in this book. Despite the reader learning about this world and its rules as the mystery went on, each clue or motivation never felt fabricated for the plot, rather it felt like a natural conclusion given what we were told. The Detective Duo is very unique in their abilities and their constraints.

I will admit that this might have been one of the more involved reads I have taken, nothing terrible just the first book in a while, where I had to look up some words for to make sure I understand what was being said. Always great to expand vocabulary.

I imagine this is a book I will continue to open again in the future to remind myself to try and pick up other genres

Fun light read, it’s never too late to chase your dreams no matter the price

I enjoyed this a lot, no major journey, no high stakes, just coming to understand why this character is the way she is and it was a very nice change of pace for me.

I actually really enjoyed the first two short stories. People who couldn’t handle rejection well and how it spiraled them. Very uncomfortable thoughts, I was so confused how people could rate it lower. Then during the third story it kind of becomes a farce of itself. The later characters are just unlikable so I just didn’t care

enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of the science stuff went over my head, but a lot of the major plot relevant science was explained very well. Easy page turner

I think a lot of people don’t like this book because the high level overview of this book can easily be seen as anti-left. Ultimately it’s a critique on items the left should re-evaluate. Mostly items that had a good intention when it first appeared but have evolved into something that now prevents progress. Given the length of it, no “solutions” are really provided but I think the first step to solving a problem is bringing light to it.

I think most books in the middle of a series suffer from setting up their sequel, however Sanderson manages to give us things we were wanting from the previous book a satisfying interaction while also setting up new questions we can look forward in the next entry. Very fun

Offered a new perspective on how the rich operate. Not always evil and trying to extract the most money, sometimes they just don’t care an that is just as dangerous

Enjoyed this very much. Weirdly was reassuring to know that humans don’t know everything about something. Reignited a curiosity in me and am very thankful for that
