By all means, read Brandon Sanderson...just not this one.
The story had a clever plot, but the language used was painful. I know it was meant to represent an over the top version of the 1920s but it was just too over the top. Maybe it was fun to write that way, but it's less fun to read. Even intentionally done, the misogyny is just excruciatingly cringy in 2026.
I do know this was a novella he wrote very, very early in his career. Thank goodness he got so much better at it.
